Obama's the Big Man on Penn State Campus: "Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me!"

As Barack Obama emerged in front of an estimated crowd of 22,000 in front of Old Main on the Penn State University campus, Ashley Sims shouted the kind of welcome usually reserved for pop stars.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!"
This from a 24-year-old graduate student who customized her cell phone's ring tone as the Obama Girl tune, "I've Got a Crush on Obama."
When speaking about Obama, she has a dreamy look in her eyes, clasps her hands to her chest, and pauses in the middle of sentences as if she just can't find the words.
"I didn't know that he was possible," she said.
At 11:45 a.m., Hershey High School alumni Cayla Rasi and Andrew Mackay arrived at the back of the line. Two hours later, they got in just in time to see the beginning of Obama's speech, but there were people behind them who never made it in.
"It's really amazing everyone got up after a Saturday night at Penn State," Rasi said.
Sean Perugini, a junior from Harleysville, Montgomery County, partied late Saturday, but Obama was worth waking up early for, he said. That's quite an honor in his book.
At a time when he doesn't feel like his government is listening to him, Obama has affirmed his faith in democracy, Perugini said.

Obama at Penn State
To: Dr. Scarpetta
24 is the new 16, apparently. That a grad student should act in such an adolescent manner is disturbing.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!" That cannot be an accurate quote. There are no likes in it.

This from a graduate student? She's probably a Mass Communication major who hasn't been taught to think.

Then, of course, look at all the crazy old ladies on FR that were reacting in a similar fashion to our slimy liberal RINO Romney.

Sounds like Ashley Sims is oval office material. Bill would be telling the Secret Service to get her name, there’s an internship in her future.

These are the same people who believe hope for the future is a future of hope, they hope.

What is terribly frightening here is this reprobate can vote.
Ignorance should not be a prerequisite to vote. This is the type of voter democrats love to have because they vote base on emotion not on substance. That definitely sums up hussein, emotion and no substance. It is unfortunate his mother and her mother and father were punished with his birth....

Penn State's History and TraditionsFrom the link....
Above the columns of Old Main are words from the July 2, 1862 Act of Congress signed by Abraham Lincoln: "To promote liberal and practical education in the several pursuits and professions of life." This is followed by words from the April 1, 1863 Act of the State Legislature: "And the Faith of the state is hereby pledged to carry the same into effect."
Their bold, BTW. And boy, has the definition of the word liberal morphed.

It’s sad, really, but so typical for the prototype democrat voter. They think of themselves as children. They’re so willing for a parent-government to take care of them. They are too immature to realize they are personally responsible for how their lives run and what they make of themselves. Chalk it up to the democrat candidates who realize the electorate is wanting a mom or a dad instead of a mature, responsible president.

Ironically, much as the categories of voters are identified and actually considered blocks,(independents, moderates, etc.)I think should be an indentifyer attached to this group.
There has been a consideration for the lesser intelligent as voting for hillary. I would call this group the less than informed and totally susceptible to pandering group....

"The enrollment at the Penn State University Park campus is 42,914 with a total enrollment of over 84,000"
So half of the Penn State students would rather sleep in.
