Obama's Chillicothe Rally
The Right Reasons ^ | 10 Oct 2008 | Ray Malone

Posted on 10/10/2008 1:56:23 PM PDT by Rokke

This morning at 10:00Am Obama appeared on the court house steps at Paint and Main streets in Chillicothe Ohio. They only needed one block of a 4 lane city street to hold all those that came to see him. The Block is about 600 feet long and 4 lanes and two sidewalks wide.

Back in 1960 I covered LBJ as VP when he visited Chillicothe and spoke from the same site. It is worth noting that in 1960 LBJ filled the intersection of Paint and Main streets with people as well as half a block of South Main street and the first block of North Paint street. This time only one block of North Paint was used. I would say Obama drew less than half the crowd that LBJ as VP candidate did in 1960. This was not a good draw for Obama.

In 2004 the five or six thousand people that Main and Paint streets could hold was not enough for the 14,500 five hundred people that wanted to see Bush. So his rally was held at the Ross County Fair grounds. Tickets were required and they were all gone 2 days before the rally. We were emailing people in 2004 telling them there would be NO tickets available at the gates so please don't come if you don't have tickets.

snip....

I could not find an estimate of the crowd in the media and no pictures of the crowd on line. The only reference was in the local paper and they said the area "around the podium" was nearly full of people who were given Obama signs to wave.

If Chillicothe is still the bellwether city for the state of Ohio... Obama is not going to do all that well in Ohio.

Of course he is. The dead and double-registered will be voting, too! /s

Thanks for the report! We know the media does not show Obama’s crowds any more so must be they are getting smaller and smaller. Good news and hopefully shows that folks who were blinded by “his words” are now taking a look at his actions! Thanks again for the positive news!

Intresting.

If it had been Sarah Palin there today, it would have been like a huge rock concert.

Obama has a lame presentation. He comes across as arrogant and not likeable.

Those emails that Corsi has showing how Obama counseled Odinga on fermenting class envy and protests - that resulted in mass murder ought to really stop BO in his tracks if we can get the info out. I think this is supposed to start hitting the media on Monday - I think this is when Hannity talks to Corsi.

Obama is lying through his teeth and I can’t believe how many people won’t believe their own ears. BO is a Communist Marxist racist who intends to take us down.

I looked on WND for the emails, but only saw one this morning. Do you have a link to more info on the Corsi documents? Can’t wait until Corsi is on Hannity Monday!

Yeah, all he needs is Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, ACORN and the dead and he wins Ohio. SE, SW and S Ohio won’t vote for him.

Here is some info:

During Corsi’s trip to Kenya, WND also confirmed the role of the anonymous party source in implementing an Odinga campaign strategy which the source claimed was shared with Obama’s Senate office. The strategy is described in a document titled “Executive Brief on the Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic Movement & ‘The People’s President.’”

The document at one point suggests: “It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.”

WND previously reported Obama was in telephone communications with Odinga on nearly a daily basis during the Democratic primary in New Hampshire in January.

Remember, Cleveland does not report any precinct results until they know how many fraudulent votes are needed.

Obama’s real constituency is the dead who rise up and vote on election day.

Thanks for the information and link. Looks like we need to have SOMEONE IN CONGRESS to ask that Obama’s phone records be released for all to see! Especially since the afticle stated: “Obama was in telephone communications with Odinga on nearly a daily basis during the Democratic primary in New Hampshire in January.”

But I feel that most likely Obama will never be asked to release anything, not even his original birth certificate!

Exactly.

The Black Racist always gives me a headache whenever his speeches are broadcast.

He loves to shout into that microphone and give the audience his evil, menacing eyes.

He is filled with hard-core hatred, and I see right through him.

Doing a quick google and looking at cenus records, Chillicothe in 2000 was about 3000 people smaller than it was in 1960.

I think it's probably smaller today than it was in 2000.

I have Corsi’s email and he just told me that he is on his way back from London. We hope he stays safe...and whatever he does, he needs to protect the briefcase with the goods in it!
Hooray for Jerome Corsi! He is channeling John O’Neill from 2004. Pray everyone!
