During his speech on Library Mall, which drew a crowd of 26,500, the President drew an elaborate analogy of America as a car stuck in a ditch as the Democrats get down to work pushing the car out and the Republicans are peering from above “sucking down slurpees.”
“We finally get it out of the ditch and the Republicans are asking for the keys back, you have to tell them you can’t have them because you don’t know how to drive.” said the President.
The President’s forty-minute speech was especially geared towards getting students fired up and getting them to the voting booths on November 2nd. These students helped elect him two years ago, but many have lost enthusiasm after the changes the President promised seemed to have eluded him during the first half of his term.
“We didn’t get everything done,” said the President, “I’ve only been here two years. If you look at the checklist I’ve covered seventy percent. Figured I needed something to do for the next two years.”
That doesn’t seem to be enough to give Democrats confidence in this mid-term election, as there is the potential for a loss of Democratic control of the House and Senate.
