Obama humiliated as black Democrats stream out of fundraiser while he speaks
Obama went to Maryland to campaign for Mulatto Gubernatorial candidate Anthony G. Brown. The event was held in the gymnasium of a majority black High School. According to the New York Times, the crowd was mostly black.
However, according to Reuters White House Correspondent Jeff Mason, the crowd began streaming out in large numbers when Barack Obama took the stage. Mason called the spectacle “weird” on twitter.
Mason also stated that the people waited hours to get in, only to leave when the star attraction began speaking. Mason called the exodus, “noticeable and noisy.”
Lots of people, at least up front near where journalists are sitting, appear to be leaving this rally now that Obama has started speaking.

Steady stream of people leaving Maryland rally continues as Obama speaks. It's noticeable and noisy. They would have waited hours to get in.
