Wow! 200 people. Obama would not have won Ohio without the fraud perpetrated by the SOS and ACORN.

His campaign events during the 2008 presidential race attracted crowds of thousands of Ohioans; this time, President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people.

Kathy Dahlkemper: ‘It’s So Important to Have Women Representing the Pro-Life Movement’ [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I’m not sure how someone who provides firsthand witness like this — the Pennsylvania Democrat chose life as an unmarried college student — and vote for the health-care bill the White House is pushing. If Rep. Dahlkemper votes true to her conscience, I suspect Nancy Pelosi can’t count on her vote.

Especially if you’re from her district in Pennsylvania, you might thank her for what she had to say on the House floor last week and encourage her on a key vote this week.

Rich, I’d be curious how many votes you’re getting for “worse than all that.” That’s where I am.

Obama Comes to Ohio (Again), Nobody Shows Up [Matt A. Mayer]

President Barack Obama, joined by Ohio governor Ted Strickland, came to Ohio today to continue his permanent campaign on health-care legislation. His campaign events during the 2008 presidential race attracted crowds of thousands of Ohioans; this time, President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people. With his negative approval numbers in Ohio (44 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove), it isn’t much of surprise that few showed up to hear him once again talk about health care. On health care, Ohioans disapprove of the job President Obama is doing (34 percent approve, 58 percent disapprove). On the health-care proposal, 56 percent of Ohioans mostly disapprove of it, with 43 percent believing that the proposed changes go too far.

The fact of the matter is that Ohioans are almost solely focused on jobs, jobs, and more jobs. On the economy, President Obama is heavily into negative territory (37 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove) as Ohioans in large numbers disprove of his handling of the economy. Given the fact that Ohio had a net increase in jobs from 1990–2010 of just 79,100 private sector jobs in a state of 11.4 million people, these findings shouldn’t be a surprise. For Ohioans, it really is time that President Obama stopped trying to ram health-care legislation through and started doing what he said he would do in the State of the Union speech — focus like a laser on jobs.

I heard there were about 1,000 protesters. Anyone know if it’s true? Can’t find any pictures of Zero speaking before a large crowd or anything.

I believe the main reason he went to Ohio was to flip Kucinich.

I don't think Kucinich is flipping.

President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people.

Considering the capacity of a 747 he could have flown the entire crowd to Washington DC, put them up in a good hotel for the night and flown them home the next day for much less than it cost for him to go to Ohio.
