What if they gave a campaign and no one cared? “In politics, when you’re explaining you’re losing, and when you’re explaining missed expectations, you’re really losing. Going by what occurred Saturday at Ohio State University, President Obama’s re-election campaign kickoff was a double barreled loss.” Obama’s campaign has become a Potemkin Pillage.

Did they play B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" at the rally?
That is 1 of the theme songs that Quinn & Rose. They also use "Who Are You" from The Who.
I've seen larger crowds at a Yanni Concert. Is "Dear Leader" going to bus in some more supporters from the inner city to make up for the shortfall of the easily fooled?
How pathetic, about 10,000 sad, deluded, dependent people showed up to applaud the tired lies of a professional liar.
From the picture and some basic calculations based on seat size, floor space and average body type. The place was less than 1/3 full.
I guess the administration used their calculation for the rally attendance that they used for the unemployment numbers on Friday.
The snake oil salesman has run out of suckers to huckster and lie too.
You notice how narrow the shot was? I bet if they expanded out, it was even more empty. The shot just included the crowded part of the stadium. Those who thought it was a Barry White concert, and not a Barry Obama charade.
The NY times said: President Obama sought to rekindle the passion of his 2008 victory on Saturday with a pair of huge rallies in battleground states.
The Miami Herald: President Barack Obama officially kicked off his re-election campaign here Saturday with a rousing rally for an arena crowd,
Sounds like journalists need a dictionary.
Huge: Of exceedingly great size, extent, or quantity.
Rousing: filling people with passion, emotion, and enthusiasm
Yes and our chocolate rations were raised to seven grams per day.
Sorry, Moochelle heard that chocolate leads to diabetes, so it has again been cut back to just 2 grams per day.
And she gets the excess.
They should of handed out cheese.
....and free cellphones.
Too late, most of them probably already have the cell phones.
Looks like one of those pathetic Woodstock reunions. . .in more ways than one.
Next time, they should rent a conference room.
The event was at Ohio State University, it's a huge campus, that is a new arena, it too is huge, & I guess the Obama people figured they could fill it. Afterall, it was at a college campus, & college kids love Obama...right? If I went to a concert & saw a crowd like that at an arena gig, I would be sad. BTW, I AM going to a gig tomorrow night at Target Center in Minneapolis. I exepct a better turnout for the Rammstein gig then Obama got at OSU. Similar size arenas, so I let you know.
And Rammstein is a genuine aging rock star, so it will be interesting to see how many paid for tickets to see them vs were recruited to fill seats for Obungles.
BTW, all the polls are IMO overinflating his numbers. Voter registrations are down across his demographics. Hispanic registrations are down nearly 40%, black and young voters are also not registered in the volume they were 4 years ago. When you don't vote in the off year elections, your registration expires.
Between 7,000-8,000 paid between $60 & $100 on a Tuesday night to see Rammstein, & enjoyed themselves greatly. It was by far, the biggest stage production I have ever seen in an arena. It was enormous, with 24 semis & a crew of 100, it was massive. They sounded good as well, & despite the fact they are a German language act, my guess is more people understood what was being said at the Obama rally. Nobody was bored or empty after the gig, & after 3 years of hopey changey BS, many at the Obama rally must have felt empty after hearing it all before.
Looks like the cheap seats were empty....empty seats for an empty suit for empty promises for an empty president....running on empty...
The cheap seats were down front, you had to pay extra to seat in back
Pleny of good seats are still available...
I read where the Comms said that there were 14,000 in the 20,000 seat arena. They must have thought they were counting votes.
