Obama Ends Campaign in Half-Empty Arena [Ohio]

President Obama’s big rally tonight turned out to be just like his first, opening salvo of the 2012 campaign: a half-empty arena in Ohio. According toRealClearPolitics’ Scott Conroy, there were “empty seats scattered around the upper-level of Nationwide Arena … Four years ago, after all, Obama was easily filling venues larger than that …” The event even featured Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z, and Obama still couldn’t fill it out.

As it turns out, the empty seats didn’t look exactly “scattered.” They looked like substantial portions of the upper bowl of the arena, according to photos tweeted by those in attendance:

I like that, given the Preezy is the kind to see the glass half-empty anyway...

The ending “Obama” campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa is also a bust, Bruce Springstein, included!!! The audience of Obamabots assembled there, had all the energy of a dead fish!!! Joe Biden and Bill Clinton today were both major busts. No crowds, no energy, no gusto, no emotion, no passion!!!

Say, how did that million (x 0.00001%) puppet thing go?

This probably looks just like it, only the signs are probably better here...

I bet a miilion people start camping out with countdown clocks in Washington DC after tomorrow.

For when he gets the boot, the Hut gets flipped for Romney and Air Force One flies without The Empty Suit from now on.

I watched very little of Moochelle speaking in Iowa. They never showed the crowd. The few times she got applause it indicated a very small crowd. I don’t think there could have been more than a thousand. If that many.

And she looked very depressed.

I’ve been there many times to watch the Blue Jackets. Nice arena but even as bad as the Jackets are, they draw way better than this.

I really think that Republicans should read Machiavelli more. If for no other reason than to understand Democrats better.

I saw a speech of Michelle Obama today. It was frightening. Her voice was screeching like a possessed demon. Her arms were flailing around like she was in a desperate fight of her life. It was pitiful. You would never see Ann Romney behaving like that.

Michelle: If I told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times. It’s President Obama first, and Puppet Show last.
