MUST-SEE: Bill Maher pushes Democrats to defend Obama and GO VOTE!
by BruinKid
Last night, Bill Maher delivered a strong defense of the Obama presidency and all its accomplishments, chided cowardly Democrats for running away from it, and urging everyone to GO VOTE!
The midterms are here in four days, and Democrats are in big trouble. Despite the fact that the only idea the Republicans have this election is, "Don't let anybody get you started on rape". But it didn't have to be this way, if Democratic candidates would just stop throwing their own people and achievements under the bus, and distancing themselves from their own president! That is never a winning strategy. Just ask President Al Gore. (audience murmurs turn to applause)
....
Well, sorry, but the one I feel bad for is Obama.
A depression averted.
A deficit reduced by two thirds.
A healthcare law that's working and lowering costs.
Two women on the Supreme Court.
bin Laden's dead.
Stock market at record heights.
An unemployment rate that dropped from 10.2 to 5.9%. If you're a Fox News viewer trying to do the math, that's less. (audience laughter and applause)
Gas prices are down.
Is it really that hard a record to get behind? And yet, the way these Democrats have been distancing themselves from the President, you would think he'd just flown in from Liberia with his lunch in a barf bag. (audeince laughter) There are beheading videos with more likes. (audience oohs)

Imagine if Romney were president now. How would the GOP and the media be playing those facts, those numbers?
We'd see commercial after commercial proclaiming it's MORNING IN AMERICA AGAIN!
