It’s a big indoor space. Why are they making the peons wait outside in the cold?

One would think such thunderous approval of Obama and desire to brave hours of single-digit temperatures “just to get a ticket” would be documented by pictures of the “thousands” of loyal Obamaists.
Show some pictures or it didn’t happen

Obama's final speech. May it go as well as that of Ceaucescu.

If it’s really a chance to say “thank you” to Obama, the whole Republican party should turn out.

Closest big venue to his “neighborhoods”. Hard to imagine many “white folks” would want to go there. I bet it is a very small turnout.
