Today was National Dance for Obama Day, in which flash mobs were organized as part of a get out the vote effort in numerous cities.
The weekend before Election Day, we’re turning up the heat and encouraging people to get out and vote with flash mobs across the country.
In Manhattan, the flash mob took place at Herald Square, 34th Street and 6th Avenue in the heart of Midtown far from the chaos elsewhere in the city.
Nonetheless, only about 12 dancers showed up in this GOTV effort.
Legal Insurrection’s correspondent was there to film the dance and interview some of the participants.

goofy…
Well duh, they forgot to bring in the heavy hitter who always assures enormously large crowds, the one and only Sandra Fluke.
In the interviews they seem defensive and apologetic – and embarrassed – at how silly this is. I think they are starting to realize their impending loss, perhaps only subconsciously for now.
NYers like to see themselves as trendsetters. I think they are surprised that in the heart of NYC, the President is out of fashion. The coolness factor of this political fad is gone.
If “we” lose Tuesday night, heaven he’p us!
The parents of these kids must be soooooo proud…
There’s certainly a logical explanation for the low turn out. If the NYC Marathon has been cancelled, it just wouldn’t be right to hold a dance! (how does that go? /sarc off)
They’d have to up their game to be merely foolish,
Gangnam style – Not!
New Yorkers have patience for this?
For the real National Dance on Tuesday, do you have enough fireworks ready, Professor? This is going to be great.
The one young lady talks about “renewable energy.”
Wind and solar … renewable.
Hope and change … that 2008 energy, judging by this “turnout,” is definitely not renewable.
Well, they had plenty of wind and the sun is out now.
Seems to me like they’re fighting for gas.
Oh my God! Fossil fuels are needed.
HE FAILS, HE FALLS, HE KNOWS HE’S TOAST, YET DEFIANT TO THE END, HE PLAYS WITH THE “STARS” AND HIS “LATE NIGHT WHORES”
“THEY CALL BARACK , PARIAH”
[To the tune of “They Call the Wind Mariah”]
Pariah,
Pariah,
They call “THE WON” Pariah
In DMV* they got a name,
For Liar, Dolt and Loser.
The Liar’s Reid, the Dolt is Joe,
And the Loser’s called “Pariah”
Pariah blows his Choom** around,
And makes the Kool-Aid stronger,
But fewer groupies are now found,
They can’t trust him any longer.
Pariah,
Pariah,
They call “THE WON” Pariah.
When crowds first heard Pariah speak,
Some swooned like rock star groupies.
But now, the “Man of Steel” is weak,
And his “fans” are simply loopy.
Our seniors lost, their heritage sold,
Our children’s birthright squandered,
His “Hope and Change” were just fools’ gold,
How far from truth we’ve wandered!
Pariah,
Pariah,
They call “THE WON” Pariah.
And in the East, they burn our flags,
Our embassies are shattered,
An envoy and soldiers in body bags–
Our very Liberties battered!
The Media Whores cry: “All is well”
“THE WON” was never stronger!
But our “lying eyes” say, “This is hell—
AND WE WON’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER!
Pariah,
Pariah,
They call “THE WON” Pariah.
*District – Maryland – Virginia =”DMV”
** “Choom”, both a noun (marijuana) and a verb “to smoke marijuana”
HIS CROWDS HAVE FLED. ONLY BOGUS POLLS AND MEDIA WHORES REMAIN TO “PROP UP” HIS FAILED PRESIDENCY.
ROMNEY & RYAN WIN BIG…next Tuesday.
Growing up in that city, I’m surprised New Yorkers haven’t stomped them flat.
Where was Jay-Z in all of this? Beyonce? I would have thought that the Entertainment Czars would have set this up better.
Myabe it came down to only 12 dancers or Janet Reno in a hula skirt. They chose wisely.
…a power outtage of the best kind.
stood in line for 3 hours to vote yesterday. if the demographic of the line is any indication of election results Obama will win 85%. something fishy about that turnout. my bet is that they attempt to vote twice.
I’m praticing that same dance for Tuesday night. When this nightmare ends.
“opened a whole new tomato can about climate change” says the girl at 1:17. Funny but sad.
Yeah, but the million muppet march was able to draw…150?
Oh wait…..
CHECK YOUR VOTE! For those of you that haven’t voted already, reports are coming in daily now that when you push the vote/submit button on the electronic voting machine and the list of whom you voted for comes up the VOTE is CHANGED to obummer. CHECK YOUR VOTE!
Somehow, I don’t think that the folks on Staten Island without food, water, proper sanitation, etc., think that they are better off because these fools are dancing.
And I think it’s, like, really important, and like, WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Lost and clueless. Take that 5 minutes of energy and channel it into something serious for once. Volunteer and help those poor folks that are standing in what’s left of their homes, cold and desperate for help from their neighbors.
On another note. the only guys there are gay or trying to get laid. Grow up boys.
so who flew to all of these cities to teach these useful idiots this dance ? …and who paid for it ??
12 lost souls in this world of millions.
[…] was apparently National Dance For Obama Day. In Manhattan it attracted all of twelve dancers . Of course, New York has been devastated by Hurricane Bloomberg, but the attendance in […]
