Obama attempts to get lazy Cousin Pookie off his couch to vote -- AGAIN

At a rally for Hillary Clinton in Nevada Sunday night, President Obama begged voters to make sure the fictitious “Cousin Pookie” gets off his couch on votes:

If this sounds familiar, it should. President Obama begged voters in 2014 to get lazy Pookie off the couch, but to no avail as Republicans cleaned up in the election:

We assumed Dems had a better ground game than hoping Pookie voted. Apparently not and that’s good news for Donald Trump.
