Speaking to more than 9,000 at North Carolina State University, Obama got some “love” from the crowd — and dished some right back.
“I love you Barack!” a voice in the audience called out at one point during Obama’s speech.
“I love you back,” Obama replied as the crowd screamed in approval. “But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you’ve got to help me pass this bill.”
To the students in the crowd, Obama said he had a “homework assignment” for everyone who missed class to hear him speak.
“For those of you who did skip class today, I’ve got a homework assignment for you,” he said. “Tell your congressperson that the time for partisanship and politics is over — now is not the time for it.”
Urging students to join him in the fight for the bill, he added: “I just want to make sure everybody understands their homework assignment. Tell them. Tell them that if you want to create jobs — pass this bill.”
Obama touted the American Jobs Act as a way to get the country “back to a place where we’re creating good, middle-class jobs again.”
Kinda sounds like hitler talking to the hitler youth. POWDERMAN.
