This is not the electorate I knew.
Mark1971 on November 3, 2009 at 8:17 PM
yeah, sure. And he wasn’t aware of the million people on the mall on 9/12 either.
Kataklysmic on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Whhaaaaaaa
reppac122 on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
That’s because he’s outside the
doorwindow chain smoking himself into a heart attack over it.Enoxo on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
You lie.
Ronnie on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Nothing new here. His handlers continue to help him avoid any negative press or bad news.
cobrakai99 on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
He doesn’t like to watch trainwrecks. He’s a compassionate guy.
hoosiermama on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 PM
And Michelle Odumbass is beautiful.
txag92 on November 3, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Liar liar pants on fire.
Knucklehead on November 3, 2009 at 8:19 PM
LOL! He’s glued to it. Especially after the VA landslide.
dogsoldier on November 3, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Election? What election? I won.
El_Terrible on November 3, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Why would he? He doesn’t care what stupid voters think!
Moose Dung on November 3, 2009 at 8:20 PM
No matter. The Bulls are losing too.
Ronnie on November 3, 2009 at 8:21 PM
It’s hard to watch one’s own @$$ being kicked.
SG1_Conservative on November 3, 2009 at 8:21 PM
He’s watching V and taking notes.
Trent1289 on November 3, 2009 at 8:21 PM
He has also turned his back on the USA as well…
d1carter on November 3, 2009 at 8:22 PM
A million? When? Surely not the 50K tubby zeroes that waddled around on 9/12. They were too pathetic to even look at.
simplesimon on November 3, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Why did he have to say anything? How stupid are these people?
sherry on November 3, 2009 at 8:24 PM
This should be really interesting. The Won doesn’t like it when people go against his wishes.
Cindy Munford on November 3, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Isn’t it weird that when you lie about every single thing every single day, people don’t believe you anymore?
Jim Treacher on November 3, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Yeah he’s going to his “Happy Place”.
ronsfi on November 3, 2009 at 8:25 PM
That there is 100 pounds of bulls*** stuffed into a sandwich bag.
Bruce in NH on November 3, 2009 at 8:25 PM
And I’ve got this bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell.
Percy_Peabody on November 3, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Ahem. WAAAAAHHHH!!!
Sarjex on November 3, 2009 at 8:27 PM
whistling through the graveyard
John the Libertarian on November 3, 2009 at 8:29 PM
The president doesn’t feel that his job requires staying on top of politics around the country. After a long week of golfing and passing out Halloween candy, he has decided to relax and watch the Bulls lose in a landslide instead.
Ronnie on November 3, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Tonite: weed & blow. Tomorrow: John Barleycorn. Change & Hope can’t cope!
BHO Jonestown on November 3, 2009 at 8:32 PM
“Obama not watching election results tonight”
And if he had thought to arrange a date with Michelle, he could count on the media not watching them either.
landshark on November 3, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Jerk. Make that Bitter Jerk. AHHHAHHHAHAHHAHHHHAAAAA…simplesimon fears the humpbot.
hoosiermama on November 3, 2009 at 8:32 PM
I believe Axelrod. Barry is watching the Bulls . . . curled up in the fetal position in the corner sucking his thumb.
Tomorrow, ACORN gets its marching orders for 2010.
NebCon on November 3, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Ogabe may not be watching, but Axel and Rahm are crapping bricks as they tune in.
Bishop on November 3, 2009 at 8:33 PM
because he is more interested in basketball & golf than what is going on here (except when his side is winning) Piss poor loser
Willie on November 3, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Anybody see Keith Olbermann spin like a top? The California race is likely to remain Democratic with a loon who supports Afghanistan surrender, Crap and Tax, and ObamaCare. Isn’t that much more a representation of America? Isn’t THIS the race that reflects how the people feel about Obama? New Jersey Who?
Marcus on November 3, 2009 at 8:35 PM
If this looks like 50,000 people to you, then thank you for making my point about what liberalism has done to public education. And as far as the protestors waddling around, in your opinion, I can’t wait until the panty wastes in your party make it a hate crime to tell fat jokes. Hopefully it will be retroactive.
Kataklysmic on November 3, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Pookie locked him out & he cannot pry the windows open
Ris4victory on November 3, 2009 at 8:37 PM
A million? When? Surely not the 50K tubby zeroes that waddled around on 9/12. They were too pathetic to even look at.
simplesimon on November 3, 2009 at 8:22 PM
You are the tubbiest of all @sses!! were you there? I was and I know how many people who were there. Your mistake is in thinking our voices don’t count and that we don’t vote.
I may be pathetic to you, those hundreds of thousands may be pathetic to you but eventually they will be the voices that override your stupidity
Willie on November 3, 2009 at 8:37 PM
As you would expect of the puppetmasters.
John the Libertarian on November 3, 2009 at 8:37 PM
It’s hard to watch TV when you’re curled up under the covers crying into your Care Bear.
DamnCat on November 3, 2009 at 8:38 PM
I believe it. I didn’t watch when they took out my appendix.
Maybe Mr. Obama should have someone administer a general anesthetic.
29Victor on November 3, 2009 at 8:42 PM
Wow. How supportive.
misslizzi on November 3, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Yeah sure…
David Axelrod: ‘The President is probably going to watch the Chicago Vikings sew up the Stanley Cup tonight’.
BigWyo on November 3, 2009 at 8:44 PM
As the President of the U.S. he has a vested interest in this particular election. He ought to be watching it, he could have at least given the appearance of acting like an adult and said he would watch it. But of course not, he’s going to be a sore loser and act like a child. Great pres. we’ve got here…
4shoes on November 3, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Exactly – and I’m sure he’d rather watch the HBO documentary premiere about HIM and last year’s election.
It’s always all about HIM, remember.
tru2tx on November 3, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Good. This means he can go to bed early tonight and get a head start on not losing sleep over Fox News.
Huggles the Porcupine on November 3, 2009 at 8:51 PM
You mean to tell me this reaction surprises you? He knows there’s a major blowback to his first year in office. If he’s like most people, he doesn’t like to hear bad news, and if he can switch the channel to avoid it, he will.
People do it all the time. The difference is, he won’t escape it the next morning.
manwithblackhat on November 3, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Well, why would he watch it?? It’s not like he campaigned for anyone…oh, wait…
Ok,it’s not like this is the first time since he took office that the voters could really let him know what they think about him and his POS agenda…
..oh, wait….
BigWyo on November 3, 2009 at 8:54 PM
He’s not going to lose any sleep over it…but the voices in his head might keep him up.
Itchee Dryback on November 3, 2009 at 8:56 PM
I am not sure, but I think not watching the election results might equal a lack of intellectual curiosity in the important events in this country.
Sports should not be more important to a sitting president than politics.
darcee on November 3, 2009 at 8:58 PM
You are grossly underestimating the initial false gross underestimation that was reported by some media outlets.
Wiki:
So, even political opponents admitted there were 200-300 thousand participants, not 50 thousand. By averaging estimates, it appears the number was at least ten times your number. Liberal math.
Loxodonta on November 3, 2009 at 9:01 PM
What an open-minded and tolerant little fascist you are…
SG1_Conservative on November 3, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Don’t be too hard on Simplemoron, it has a long night ahead of hate-masturbating using its tears as lubricant. This is just foreplay for it.
Monica on November 3, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I believe Axlerod this time. Obama is not on the ballot, so I doubt Obama is interested.
Hog Wild on November 3, 2009 at 9:15 PM
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Run, Barry! You cannot hide from the truth!
DangerHighVoltage on November 3, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Barackus Hubris Maximus *hail caesar!* is all wee wee’d up.
awwwwwwwwwwww
You can bet your sweet bippy that his eunuchs will keep him apprised of the situation in detail though.
SilverStar830 on November 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
I have this picture of either a 6′ 110 pound zit faced 20 something in his mom’s basement who has been in “School” his entire life and has yet to “find his way,” or a 5′4″ 380 pounder in his mom’s spare bedroom playing WOW on his other computer while he trolls conservative sites. After this comment I am leaning toward the latter.
cobrakai99 on November 3, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Barry is previewing the HBO documentary “Buy The People”. ”lection results? I don’t know nuffin’ about no ‘lection results.’
BHO Jonestown on November 3, 2009 at 9:33 PM
Sounds like projection to me.
DangerHighVoltage on November 3, 2009 at 9:44 PM
simple
simonton on November 3, 2009 at 8:22 PMYou’ve used too many letters for your name. I fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
TeeDee on November 3, 2009 at 9:56 PM
there blackberries will be smoking even if they don’t watch.
la.rt.wngr on November 3, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Of course he isn’t. Zero is too busy watching the last of his Three Stooges DVD collection before re-gifting it to Queen Elizabeth.
viking01 on November 3, 2009 at 11:54 PM
Maybe Obama wasn`t watching the TV coverage, but he was clicking away from site to site checking on the elections via the internet.
albill on November 4, 2009 at 6:24 AM
How many times did the Liar-in-Chief go to NJ to campaign for Corzine in the last two weeks? Axelrod took over the campaign in NJ and Obama wasn’t watching?
Axelrod, you’re slipping. Everyone is on to you.
