Photo of the Day: Obama Waves to Empty Stands at Official Campaign Kick Off Rally

Bummer. It was supposed to be such a big event.

Barack Obama waves to empty stands at his official 2012 campaign kick off rally in Ohio.

Here’s the campaign’s list of excuses for the low turnout.......

On the plus side, the empty seats served to enhance the God-like reverb of His majestic voice....

What is the name of that game where kids try to
spot the people hidden in the picture?

Some one could put Lenin, Marx, tojo, ho chi Minh,
Michael Jackson, all kinds of people in that pic
and have a contest to see who gets them all, winner
gets a dinner with a choice of either Michael Jackson
or Michele Obama.

” I wonder how many of the people on the floor are media/staff/police?”

1 of 4, no doubt.

Yep, that struck me immediately -- the angles indicate that the expanse of blue derriere keeps widening for quite a distance below the crop line.

Wow - thanks for link. I watched most of CPAC but missed that. The movie preview excellent to pass around to those in my family with short attention span.

If they had opened with the comedy styling of Joe Biden, the crowd would have been much larger and in a better mood.

Perhaps some Virginians (or others) may remember this remark from an early-November 2008 campaign visit to Virginia, when Obama said:

'If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,' Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. 'I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.'”

For any who didn't notice the descriptive term used here as being a little out of the ordinary for a political candidate, consider these words from Chairman Mao:

“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.”

Later, during this Administration's early days, there was the White House's Anita Dunn's declaration that Mao is her "go to" philosopher.

What about the rhetoric of 2012?

Sweet!

BO and the Mooch won’t allow this to happen again. They will force people to fill the stadiums etc. They will do whatever it takes to protect their image. All sorts of freebies will be offered in order to fill the venues going forward.

Zombies in the cheapseats....

[dandiegirl]

College professors are probably promising A’s and free beer for their students that go to BO rallies. That’s why they are there.

Or... Bill Maher.

I liked a comment at the site:

Those seats are not empty, that’s where the dead voters are seated.

[McBuff]

BBBBWWWWWWHHHHAAAAAHHHAAAAAAA!!!

[MinuteGal]

The empty seats are because stadiums are too big and too far from the stage for the women to throw their panties to Obama.

LOL! I like the way you think :)

Seriously, is the woman unable to put her ankles together?? She stands like an old farmer. I’m no skinny-mini myself, but I know how to stand like a lady.
