MADISON (WKOW) -- President Obama said Democrats are not just going to win the election, we are going to bring back the American dream.
President Obama told the thousands of students he needs them fired up to vote.
UW Police estimated 26,500 people attended the President's address. Library Mall had approximately 17,200 people, the rest of the people were on Bascom Hill and in front of Science Hall, East Campus Mall and a portion of State Street Mall.
UW Police say prior to the gates opening, people formed a line that stretched for 1.1 miles waiting to enter the event.

PING!!!
That’s like 1 person for every 1,000 that are going to watch Bristol Palin on Dancing With The Stars.
Did they lure them in with free beer?
Must be really fat people!
That’s a lot of union thugs all in one spot. Sounds like the union thugs didn’t get any work done today either.
So 0bama says he wants to “bring back the American dream”?
Does that mean he’s going to eliminate the Federal Income Tax and allow us to spend our money as we choose? I’m all for it...sign me up!!
Wow, that’s like a million times more people than what showed up in D.C. for the Tea Party/Beck event.
lmao
Well it is Wi.
Sorry to my FRiends there but the place is swimming with stocky folks.
“Going to bring back the American Dream?” More like a NIGHTMARE.
I used to be one of those who ascribed to the idea that Obozo was a malignant narcissist. His recent behavior causes me to rethink that.
He’s a DELUSIONAL malignant narcissist.

With Ever Dropping Approval Ratings, President Obama Looks to Rally Support – at Universities – Students Recruited to Fill Seats
Bill Clinton on the Stump for the President - drawing crowds of 3,000 to defend Incumbants image huffington post
From Real Clear Politics :the Presidents approval rating, once again, hit a new low. Real Clear Politics, is not a poll per se, rather a combination of all polls taken in a given period. Therefore, there are high and low approval ratings (depending upon the pollster) averaged to come up with an “overall” approval. The combined “score” is now at a 44.5% approval.
With that in mind, knowing that the 2010 midterms are at stake and shortly thereafter, he must begin to campaign for the Oval office in 2012, he is taking to the road - in an “attempt to recapture Democrat Enthusiasm”. (New York Times). His first stop is the University of Wisconsin and the Times is heralding this particular rally as having the draw Obama was used to seeing at rally’s in 2008. The word “Thousands” and used in context with the size of the crowds.
Easier said than done, a recent rally held in Ohio was so poorly attended that Obama rally organizers were desperately trying to recruit students to fill the seats. Perhaps the Obama has a better following in Wisconsin, or buses standing by to insure the seats are filled with thousands, which said, perception is half the battle.

There is probably that many people in the vicinity at that time on any given day. That’s nothing anyway, anything less than 100,000 is a joke.
It’s a good excuse to get out of class. Professors might have even offered extra credit.
And, feelings about him aside, he is the President. When younger I’d have gone to see a President if they came to my campus. I wouldn’t have bought a ticket or gone out of my way to meet one elsewhere but if they came to me sure.
To set a bar for this rally, in 2004 Kerry got about 150,000 in his rally 5 days before election day in Madison.
I grew up in NE Ohio.
Bleeding heart Blue dogs back there hate him more each time he appears there with promises and slogans.
It’s easy to whip up rich dumbass college kids.
Good luck with working family’s Chump.
Please make that LEECHES.. Jeesh.
Bingo.
Unlimited unemployment benefits, Section 8 housing, food stamps good for fast food and pot, a Government Motors automobile with free gas and unlimited pensions for union members. That's the American Dream for Zero.
So what was the concert before the _resident spoke?
