ST. LOUIS - Under the Gateway to the West, the St. Louis arch, Barack Obama addressed an estimated 100,000 people in the red Show Me State just 17 days before the general election - his biggest rally to date in the United States.

RE: “I live in suburb of St. Louis and I can tell you that this picture has been faked. From the arch grounds, where Obama is talking to the hotel in the background and the courthouse, there is a highway and overpass of highway cloverleafs that lead over to E. St. Louis. You dont even see a street between Obama, the hotel and the courthouse in the picture definitely photoshopped.”

I would love to believe that this is fake — you sure about this???? I thought it looked a tad odd but not being familiar with the area, was not sure.
“How can we outdo this???????”
By concentrating on the electoral college & not the popular vote.
Aaahhh yessss, now there’s the REAL photo! Thanks for the laugh. We may not be laughing for long.
There are more than 100,000 blacks just in St. Louis City alone. Add to that the white libs in St. Louis County, the dumb old lifelong Dems, and the ditzy celebrity-worshipers, and the crowd is understandable.
However, I here in south St. Louis County had better things to do with my time, even though the Arch is only 20 minutes away.
Must be me...the buildings look fake, too, sort of painted. Also, I KNOW it’s faked ‘cause there’s an American flag flying from the building in the background and Obama wouldn’t want that.
(Kidding)
Where are the 527s?
WHO are these people?”
They are the same kinds of people who showed up at Hugo Chavez rallies when he was running. He promised them many of the same types of things and they believed.
The building on the right seem to be leaning in a funny way. Could be they used a lense to obtain the depth they wanted, for effect.
But missing overpasses is quite another thing.
ZERO POSSUMUS ARUGULA
There are people out there who are so completely emotionally wrapped up in the fact that he “will” be the next President that if he doesn’t ... they’re going to absolutely freak.
That too is right out of the Alinsky play book.
This group is dangerous!
If we can’t defeat them at the ballot box
we will end up fighting them in the streets
for our own survival.
Remember rage is a tool of the left, you have to make
the masses feel so helpless/powerless that they have
nothing to lose by violent rebellion.
I’m certain we will continue to see violence associated
with our elections in the future.
Pretty cagey...it is this huge event in St. Louis...FALL FESTIVAL
He did the same thing with the rock concerts...LOL
I bet if put Sarah Palin and Barak Obama in the same city, Sarah would have a MUCH bigger draw.
FALL FESTIVAL....ROFL
St. Louis proper is a place you know the address you are going to before you begin your trip and IF you do not watch the overhead street signs closely you are, where else but, Illinois.
“2ND ADMENDMENT, ABORTION, ODINGA!”
They’ve heard it all, but apparently don’t care. They want their messiah.
it is too low of res to tell for sure, but it looks to me that I can see a repetive pixel pattern heading to the left and up at about 45 degree angle.
The crowd on the stairs at the far back looks the worst because they appear to be the same size as those in the area of the dark shade that cuts across the whole pic. and they don’t rise up the stairs properly.
It appears to me that this crowd could actually end right about where the open spaces are directly above the stage and the rest is photoshopped in.
The people don’t get smaller as you go all the way to the back.
That IS a lot of people, how did this fly under our radar?
I don’t remember seeing any notice of a big rally prior.
How did they pull this off???
So, if 100,000 people came to an Obama rally in NYC would you people be so spooked by it? There isn’t much difference.
Palin is drawing 15-20k people in MUCH smaller areas. Working people who actually have other responsibilities.
roflmao. im still laughing
