Even when he blows his Pinocchio nose he can get 200K to applaud.

Isn’t it really a question of whether they were there for “the one” or for a rock concert that apparently took place at the same time.

Another miracle!

Obama turned 20,000 fans into 200,000 fans! And there were enough leftovers to fill twelve baskets!

Either way, the difference is just a bunch of zeros- ie, people who have zero votes in the US.

Regardless of the actual number the crowd was there for a 2-band free benefit rock concert. Obama was a added to the line up of special celebrity speakers. If you watched the news last night, you would have thought 200,000 adoring fans show up to touch the robes of the Messiah

He just lies.

20,000 people with 19,000 of them part of the US media.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

200?

That would just be his media supporters and his “peeps”.

I was wondering actually about the applause. If there were 200,000 people present in front of Obama, the sound from the applause should have been blaring, it should have covered all other surrounding noises even Obama’s voice. The applause in the sound bites do not sound resonating, it sounds like a couple of thousand people actually.

Any thoughts?

Obama rally...

Promise Keepers' Stand in the Gap rally, close to 1 million.

I think we need to face the reality. It’s clear it was closer to 200,000 than to 20,000, and trying to make it seem like 20,000 just sounds silly. I heard the larger estimate on TV as coming from the security/police there. Since they were in charge of controlling the crowd, they probably had a good handle on the number.

It’s just a hard reality that he attracts scads of people, while McCain doesn’t. Obama’s presumptive nomination is historical in our country. Just because of that, he attracts people who want to see and hear him. Add to that his charisma and oratory skills, and well, you get huge events.

I try to watch McCain, and am interested in the subject of whatever he’s talking about, but I can’t help but get sleepy. He’s just so boring. And he’s getting things confused a lot. Maybe he’ll pick a VP who has some pizzaz, to spice up the interest.

It looks like 2,000,000 people showed up in Germany for the Messiah.... Or was this a Pre-Denver showing?

Over the years, I’ve observed that quantities quoted by left wing pathological liars are usually off by a factor of 10.
