You Know Who Was Really Happy About Obama Winning Re-Election? This Crowd Surfing Mayor & His Mother

Nov. 7, 2012 2:59pm Becket Adams

Although many conservatives responded to last night’s election news with a mixture of disbelief and shock, not everyone was down in the dumps.

Indeed, as noted earlier on TheBlaze, D.C. residents were absolutely thrilled President Obama had won a second term.

But you know who else was particularly enthused about last night’s election results? Minneapolis’ Democrat Mayor Raymond Thomas (“R. T.”) Rybak.

So enthused, in fact, that he allowed himself to be crowd surfed by a crazed mob of Minnesotans:

And now from this angle!

Hey, wait a minute. In that first video — who’s that woman? According to Kare 11, that’s the mayor’s AARP card-carrying mother!

That’s some serious election night emotion right there.

People seem to ignore how strong an influence the main stream media has on the youth. These kids have been raised on television while their parents were out working for a living. They love things like American Idol and other star making shows. The latest hit recording is news to them. Not to mention the left owned schools. The destruction of our society is almost complete.

  Unfortunately, I agree. And they have become lazy. There is no desire to research and make a reasonable decision when you can get your instructions from a one minute commercial.

Yes, I’m seeing another Abe Lincoln, he’ll have us in another civil war before ya know it. The greatest divider of all time, well with Lincoln maybe it’s a toss up.

It is indeed a sad day for America and Israel. Bad times ahead! I never believed the Mayan 2012 nonsense, but 2012 IS the end–the end of America as we know it!

Makes me think of Stan’s dad in that South Park episode from the first Obama victory.

Why do the people that love Obama, hate Bush? We are now entering the fourth term of George W Bush. Now he is half-black and likes the gay vote. The spending, wars ,bailouts. All the same

Do you know who was really happy about Obama’s victory yesterday? Paul Ryan! Romney is now no obstacle to him in 2016. I think the man really had to restrain his glee last night.
