There was at least 4-500 people in line when they closed the doors. Lot left then but there was a lot more that the 200 that the reporter mentioned.
There was some gut in a light beige suite walking thru the crowd with a camera to his eye taking close up movies of folks in the crowd. Those of us that had cameras or cell phones took his picture right back.
As for Spratt he came across as out of touch mostly spouting the party line . One glaring question about the many Czars being outside the government and accountable only to Obama, his reply was he NEVER HEARD OF THE TERM CZAR.
There were a few goons (at least two ) who would walk up to folks ( mostly elderly) and poke at their signs and challenging in a loud voice "TELL ME WHERE IN HR32 IT SAYS THAT". We had enough so we followed him around ( Me 6'2" 220lbs and my friend 6'6" 270lbs) and stood next to the sign carrier.. he stopped poking the signs and lowered his voice.
It was what I expected a total farce
You, my friend, are a WARRIOR! Keep up the good work...cheers...
THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE!
