President Barack Obama is having trouble drawing large crowds on the campaign trail. At the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, his campaign was forced to move his acceptance speech from the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium to the 20,000 Time Warner Cable Arena, citing weather as the excuse. But the media are always eager to help--for example, putting 18,000 people inside a 5,000-seat arena at an Obama event in Milwaukee on Saturday.

They take up less space if they’re dead. Heck, he could have had the entire Cook County death register in there with him, for all we know.

On Breitbart they have a link to a Patch (local online news) video. One or two crowd shots and a few interviews (I had the sound off - wanted to keep my breakfast down thank you very much)
This is the Summerfest grounds....looking at few people milling by in the background will give you an idea of how pathetically small this gathering was.
And on a Saturday???? I took a day off to take my girls to Danny Gokey day a few years back and the entire grounds was packed.
I would venture a Captain and Tenille Revival would have gathered more folks to the Summerfest grounds on a Saturday afternoon - with a cover charge even.

How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving...
How can you tell when the media is lying? They’re reporting on something....
Anymore, about the only thing I trust from the LSMSM are the ads. At least the law requires advertisers to be (mostly) truthful...

Obama math.
Kind of like the 11% current unemployment rate (counted the way it was 2008); being counted as 8.3% instead (today).

As always, I hope this election can end up being a referendum on the media.
To: castlebrew
But Obama is different. He is not a politician. Oh yeah, that doesn't work any more. That was last campaign's promise. Never mind....

At the rate he is going, Obama could NOT fill a one-hole outhouse & the media would claim he had an ‘overflow’ crowd of thousands.’
