Brack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden made their last campaign rally appearance in a nearly half-empty college arena in Cleveland today.

CBS News' Mark Knoller Tweeted that the Democrat National Committtee says that the 13,600 seat arena had about 8,000 in attendance for the rally held at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center.

Before the rally, the Associated Press speculated that the crowd was not going to fill the arena.

Obama's (sic) was expected to appear about 2:30 p.m. at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center. A crowd was trickling in about an hour before the president was expected, raising questions whether the arena, which can hold up to 14,000 people, would be filled.

At 1:30 p.m., only the lower bowl was full, though hundreds of people had crowded onto a portion of the floor before the stage.

Knoller's Tweet:

DNC says there were 8,000 people at the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State Univ. Full capacity is about 13,600.

I too am amazed there is not a single US flag visible. Proof positive the Baraquis hate America and all it stands for.

Ironically, The Cleveland Browns had a bye yesterday, and the Steelers played at night.

There was no sports competition yesterday afternoon. People are just tired of being shouted at by the Alien Usurper.

Biggest bloc attending was the purple clad SEIU thugs and assorted racist swine. Relatively few students care about Obama. It was their big brothers and sisters who voted for him after all.

Why is there a sign for BarackObama.com

I noticed that too. Conflicts with the Usurper's lie that "2008 wasn't just about electing a man to be president."

You gotta love it.

I bet Sarah Palin and Herman Cain both beat those numbers with their respective tea party rallies this weekend.

*snicker*
