Welcome back. We now continue
our coverage of the terrible aftermath
00:00:13.050,00:00:16.250
of Barack Obama's victory which has left
Obama supporters across the nation
00:00:16.450,00:00:17.950
with nothing to talk about.
00:00:18.350,00:00:20.820
For an update, let's go to
Jane Carmichael, Jane.
00:00:21.420,00:00:23.190
Thanks Andrea.
For the past year and a half,
00:00:23.390,00:00:25.460
thousands of Obama’s
most obsessive supporters
00:00:25.890,00:00:28.630
have devoted their every waking moment
to the Obama campaign.
00:00:29.030,00:00:32.000
Last night they were celebrating
his victory, but today they woke up
00:00:32.400,00:00:35.900
to the cold realisation that they have
nothing to fill their pathetically empty lives.
00:00:37.600,00:00:41.410
This is Peter Kendly. For months he has talked
about nothing but Barack Obama.
00:00:41.810,00:00:42.910
Turning unrelated conversations
00:00:43.110,00:00:46.380
in coffee shops, bars and elevators,
into discussions about
00:00:46.580,00:00:50.050
the democratic candidate’s vision for America.
This morning Kendly’s roommate
00:00:50.480,00:00:54.050
found him in an almost comatose state.
-Up until yesterday he was so annoying
00:00:54.450,00:00:55.980
and I wanted to kill him,
now I just want
00:00:56.190,00:00:59.260
my old condescending
Obama-obsessed friend back.
00:00:59.660,00:01:03.100
Experts say some voter’s fixation
with the Obama campaign ran so deep,
00:01:03.560,00:01:06.900
they’ve lost the ability to process
non-Obama related information.
00:01:07.570,00:01:11.040
Across the country today, authorities
are reporting throngs of Obama supporters
00:01:11.240,00:01:14.180
wandering without direction
or purpose in streets and parks.
00:01:14.610,00:01:17.210
We’ve been here all day,
I tried to reason with them…
00:01:17.640,00:01:21.180
They just keep telling me to
check out some new Obama video
00:01:21.650,00:01:24.020
on some Obama blog or something.
00:01:24.450,00:01:26.650
Many seem unable to understand
that the campaign has ended.
00:01:27.050,00:01:28.180
You don’t want to regret not voting,
00:01:28.620,00:01:30.320
you want to make sure paperwork is in on time,
and that you are registered
00:01:30.760,00:01:32.290
in the state and that you want to vote in.
We are not going to rest,
00:01:32.730,00:01:34.970
we are not going to do anything
until Barack Obama is the next President
00:01:35.360,00:01:39.030
of the United States.
We are full steam ahead until election day.
00:01:39.470,00:01:42.270
Jane, it just looks devastating out there.
-Yes. –Who will take care of these people?
00:01:42.470,00:01:45.570
We really don’t know. Many have
already driven away their friends and families
00:01:45.770,00:01:48.340
with months of endless praise
for Obama’s latest speech,
00:01:48.540,00:01:51.580
and constant reminders to vote.
-That does sound annoying.
00:01:52.010,00:01:53.780
Clearly they have no friends,
nothing to live for.
00:01:54.280,00:01:56.110
Right. What about Obama,
do you think he’ll help these people?
00:01:56.450,00:01:58.750
No, absolutely not. –Really?
-In fact, Obama has said that
00:01:59.150,00:02:02.150
he finds these supporters
"so irritating I can't even deal with it”.
00:02:02.360,00:02:04.830
Do you see an end to all of this, Jane?
-Well, you know, Andrea,
00:02:05.030,00:02:07.500
I think a lot of people just hope
these people will die.
00:02:07.890,00:02:08.990
I think you're right.
-But, you know, worst case scenario
00:02:09.460,00:02:11.830
is that someone with evil intent
seizes control of them.
00:02:12.260,00:02:13.800
Sure. –They’ve proven
their minds can be taken over
00:02:14.000,00:02:15.970
by empty rhetoric.
-So if someone would have come up
00:02:16.170,00:02:19.270
with a catch phrase as simple and vague as
"Yes we can”... –Oh, awful. They would have
00:02:19.740,00:02:23.510
an entire army of extremely energetic,
insufferably annoying mindless pawns
00:02:23.910,00:02:25.650
at their command.
-OK, well we are going to be praying
00:02:26.080,00:02:28.550
that that does not happen. Thank you Jane.
-Sure, thank you.
00:02:29.110,00:02:31.190
Later in the hour we’ll tell you
how to spot and avoid
00:02:31.590,00:02:34.090
an Obama supporter by looking for clues
on their messenger bag.
00:02:34.520,00:02:37.390
And in other election news,
the nation is preparing for an onslaught
00:02:37.590,00:02:39.290
of an obnoxious kids named Barack.
