CM PRESS # 640



THE OBAMARAMADINGDONGBAMAGOODTIMECHARLIEFUNFEST

By Secret Insider. Secret Outsider contributed to this report.

There were approximately 2,000 people in the meeting at the OC Fairgrounds yesterday to see and hear President Obama. They seemed to be in two groups with a definite distinction between the two groups.

The first group had most of the Kool-Aid Obama Cultists and true believers who had camped out all night to get tickets and who then stood in line starting at 6:00 AM on Wednesday to get seats for a 4:00 PM show.

This group would have made perfect foils for a stage hypnotist. If Obama had said cluck like a chicken, this group would have probably gone into a mass trance and not only done that but probably would also have laid eggs.

The other half got their tickets through political connections of some sort or another and were more professional or perhaps even a little jaded and unimpressed by any politicians, even one who might be from their own party. These were the Seen-it-all-before folks.

Most of the ring side seats (but not all of them) were filled with the Obama Cultists. You could tell who they were because they cheered at everything said and had the look of those who wanted to be hypnotized.

Most of the Seen-it-all-before people sat in the back and occasionally clapped when they approved of particular points being made by Obama. I would guess that the audience was about evenly split between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

There were not as many African Americans as I thought would be there, but there were more than you normally see in Costa Mesa. It was basically your white middle class audience with a sprinkling of Asians and English speaking Latinos.

I must say that the President, when speaking off the cuff, is much more like a friend you would meet in a bar for a drink than he appears on television. He acted like he had just joined you and your friends to discuss issues, but his prepared speech was a little on the “canned” side since I have heard him discuss most of the issues before.

It seemed like the people representing some kind of education interests outnumbered any other groups. Many of the attendees were wearing shirts that had the name of some type of community college or teacher's union. From the audience reaction, there were not very many vocal “pro” or “anti” illegal immigration attendees.

There were several high level people in Costa Mesa who attended the meeting. Peter Buffa and Peter Naghavi both had front row seats, while Tom Hatch and his wife, and Allan Roeder and his wife were seated further towards the back.

The one surprise was that Henry Segerstrom and his wife were seated very far in the back and did not seem very pleased with the seating arrangements. I heard later that they were not supposed to attend and showed up at the last minute, but I am not sure how reliable a source that is.

I would like to add that when Obama first came on stage, a large group of people went down to take pictures and I have seen more security at a rock concert. We were able to get within 50 feet of the President and take pictures.

I am glad that I stood in line for a couple of hours to get inside. It was a very casual and fun atmosphere, especially considering you were in very close proximity to the President.

On the path not taken--we imagine...
READ ALL ABOUT IT--JOE BELL HAS BEEN ABORTED, THERE WILL BE NO COLUMN IN THE DAILY PILOT FROM HIM...EVER

It's about 80 odd years ago, and a young Mrs. Bell shows up at a Planned Parenthood office saying she demands her right to choose.

And, being a nice liberal lady, her choice is to rid herself of those cells--those tissues with eyes and ears and tiny fingers and little feet--that are growing inside her. "Why, it can't be human, after all it's inside of me, she tells herself. It's like a cancer, just a lump of flesh and nothing more."

So, sadly, or happily, depending on your view of Joe Bell, there was no Joe Bell born that year, or the next year, or the year after that, or in any year.

However, just in case the above alternate reality didn't happen, you might want to check the Daily Pilot today to see if there's a column there by Joe Bell. LINK
