California rally is here http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/296172-1. and Las Vegas rally is here http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/296172-101. Photos by AP. Enthusiasm by tens of thousands of people. Awesomeness by Barack Obama.

11. THIS is what has the Repubs

so messed up in the head!

[DCKit]

41. 'specially with all them fer'ners - every shade from lilly white to "so black, it's blue".

They's terrified about becoming a minority. Much angst.

Bwahahahahahaha.

[Bitwit1234]

46. AND guess what they can't say his popularity is from all black people

look at the sea of white faces in some of those pictures. You are correct, this is what is wrong with republicans, the Democratic presidents are loved by their people, look at Clinton also. The republican presidents hide behind a wall or get shoes thrown at them.

2. He's got a button

Cute! :)

3. Is that Spielberg?

4. Yeah, he sure is a loser, isn't he?

7. I can't remember when we had a President that was this unpopular!!!1!!11!

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. Notice how this president's rallies look like The Real America? Every ethnicity...

under the sun. I love it! :kick:

[Clio the Leo]

13. Yep a real melting pot unlike your average teabagger rally...

.... which looks like a bowl of mashed potatoes.

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Ewww! How about some warning next time, huh?

:puke:






:rofl:

[murielm99]

20. That pic is the very definition of

anemic.

[Arkana]

29. That's not true!

Over there is Cletus, what got his arm teared off in a combine, and Jethro, what fornicated hisself a coupla goats a long time ago, and that there's Francine, who has fewer teeth than anyone else in the aud-yence!

SO DON'T TELL US WE AIN'T DIE-VERSE!

[JDPriestly]

45. A bowl of warmed-over mashed potatoes.

I don't know how the Tea-Baggers do it. Get my family together and you've got every shade and shape. I think that every race in existence is represented among my closest relatives.

Yet the Tea-Baggers all look alike. They think they are America, but they are not.

[Merlot]

52. There is ONE person in that picture smiling

The rest are either scowling, look miserable or exhausted.

[Spazito]

9. Those are great pics but....

where's the diversity, the youth, the seniors, the enthusiasm.....oh.....never mind.

I love the pics, thanks for posting them!

[1stlady]

16. Great pics!!

Look at that crowd,if you listen to the media you would've thought only two people showed up. I'm forced to watch cnn at work because there is a mounted tv set right above my desk and whenever I happen to glance up they always have this headline saying "Obama's popularity problem". Cnn is desperate because their ratings are so low, they want some of fox's teabagg viewers which will never happen.lol

[Spazito]

27. Yep, the media's desperation to sell something nobody's buying is ....

increasing every day. The mainstream media is becoming more and more irrelevant, imo.


Welcome to DU, 1stlady, the ARE great pics, aren't they!

[soleiri]

10. I was at USC!

It was incredible, I meet so many enthusiastic intelligent people. We stood in line and made calls to voters. It so freaking great!


Um....i mean there were a few people and we had the sads and fell asleep, no enthusiasm here....

[Clio the Leo]

12. I dunno, that one kid in the second pic...

..... looks pretty un enthused! lol

[Cha]

14. Thanks kpete for this pic heavy

OP from blackwaterdog!

[NBachers]

15. These pictures are always the high point of my day

Yup, this is the present and future United States of America. I'm proud to be one of us.

[Chipper Chat]

17. I just hope all those people VOTE.

[whathehell]

25. My spouse said that too.....I honestly think

that at least half of them will...I'm not trying to be a smart ass either...Yesterday, the "scrawl" on one of the cable said:

"Only 50% of those who voted in '08 are expected to vote in the Midterm election"...Like that was a BAD thing!...Sure, I wish they would ALL come out, but generally you're lucky to get 25% in a midterm!

It's just more b.s. to try to discourage Democrats from voting...How AMAZED will they be when there duly repeated B.S falls apart on Election Night?

[Chipper Chat]

36. I rarely vote in the midterms. But.....

I'm chomping at the bit to vote this year. I hope other pick-and-choose dems feel the same way.
GOP SWEEP?....NO WAY!

[whathehell]

37. Damn right. nt/

[nofurylike]

19. K&R and thank you thank you thank you, kpete!!! breathtaking!! nt

[Number23]

21. I second your comments!

:thumbsup:

[nofurylike]

55. :) thanks Number23! there aren't words enough, are there?

just wow.

:hi:


peace and solidarity, always

[JNelson6563]

22. Out stirring up apathy again!

:toast:

[treestar]

23. Thank goodness for the internet!

Where we can learn the truth instead of relying on the "reporters" who tell us the opposite of the truth!

[savalez]

24. When I got back from USC yesterday I put on the local news...

on channel 5 to see if they would talk about the thousands upon thousands of people that showed up from all over Southern California to hear the President speak and to support the Democratic agenda.

Did they report it like that?

Nope.

They planted themselves at the rally gates and did an inane story on some dude with a Bush hat. I really couldn't understand what the heck they were talking about and why it matted.

Then they cut to Obama saying "Thank You! Thanks for coming!."

Annnnnndddd that was it.

It's a conspiracy.

[BlueIdaho]

26. THAT is America the beautiful!

That is the full expression of America's promise fulfilled. That is our future and don't let any old fart or M$M expert tell you anything different. The angry old voice of conservative politics is scared shitless because they know that never in the history of any nation have the people turned their backs on the future to hide in the past. The next time you see one of those spittle flecked red faced bafoons preaching hate tell them it's over. We are wise to them now and we're taking the keys away from them for ever.

YES. WE. CAN.

[Phx_Dem]

28. I know. It's embarrassing.

:7

[jillan]

30. What I love most about the pics from Obama rallies is the sea of color in the audience.

That's what true America looks like.

[ProSense]

31. Makes me smile. Great photos. n/t

[DevonRex]

32. No enthusiasm there. Nope. Just look at that gap.

:rofl:

[Qutzupalotl]

33. This is how we annoy the DU trolls:

keep posting headlines designed to disappoint them.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

34. Awesome. Looks like the presidential race did

just before he was elected. Hard to see any "enthusiasm gap" there.

Pretty funny that most of the lame$tream media has been off filming Sarah Palin and her 51 supporters in TimBuk3 and talking about the "enthusiasm gap" among Democrats. Pfft. I hope these photos are a good indication that their propaganda isn't working.

[AlinPA]

35. Thanks for the great post kpete.

[The Backlash Cometh]

38. The Dem's Freedom corral.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. Can't say I saw this many for Bush!!!!

[Diane R]

40. Has there ever been a more beloved President?

[ProSense]

42. Here's something inspirational

Video: "Our destiny is written by us"

[kestrel91316]

49. Probably Washington in his time, and probably FDR, who had more time to build it up.

But for two years in, this has got to be right up there with the best.

Still love the man. He ain't perfect, but neither is the man I'm seeing. Don't mean he's the devil.

[stlsaxman]

43. THESE are the voters the pollsters never talk to...

we're gonna be alright, i think. :hi:

[JDPriestly]

44. Young people. Young people with smiling faces. Vital, fresh

and ENTHUSIASTIC!

What a relief.

The Tea-baggers are nothing like this. These crowds are the future of America.

I talked with my daughter today. She and her husband are voting for Obama -- by absentee ballot just to make sure their vote goes in since they have some other things on their minds.

This is beautiful to see.

[Lifelong Protester]

47. Wow! All I could think of was "photos of the alleged gap"

thanks for posting and GOTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skittles]

48. I've been disappointed so far but

I'd still be excited to meet him :)

[Historic NY]

50. The little guy is like wow....

[MisterP]

54. and they're ALL there to boo whistleblowers, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Afghans, Yemenis, Gazans,

"greedy geezers" supporting Social Security, people investigating war criminals, and gays in the military

right?

right...?

[Ikonoklast]

56. These pics are showing the America that is to come.

All races, all creeds, all genders, all ages behind a man who wants to do the right thing by ALL of them; not just beholden to a few.

[AtomicKitten]

57. So that's what an enthusiasm gap looks like.
