Watched Joe this am and when he said the POTUS had 5,000 people at his rally for Coakley in Boston yesterday

I caught that remark too. Notice he threw it out there immediately? I think it was the first line in his script.

Some less-generous person might even call it a lie.

This article in Politico is one Morning Joe must have missed............
Obama and a parade of Democrats who appeared on stage before a crowd a local fire official put at 1,100 at Northeastern’s modest gymnasium spent much of their time trying to explain to the audience, and to themselves, how they had lost their grip on the public “anger” – a word that has replaced “hope” as the emotion Democrats are trying to channel.

1100 is a far cry from 5,000, but why let facts get in way of what your bosses are telling you to say.
