Brian Williams: Obama Crowds Down To 5,000 From 50,000 In '08
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/25/2012 7:00:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Back in 2009, Brian Williams literally bowed to Barack Obama. Today, he's telling like it is from the Obama campaign trail: the size of the crowds is way down from last time around, and the candidate is not the same man he was in '08.

This is a stunning admission from a man seen as deeply in the Obama tank. Williams made his admission to Chuck Todd on today's Daily Rundown. Takeaway line: "palpably obvious to you: this is not '08. These are not the crowds, this is not the candidate."

View the shocking video here.

For Brian Williams of all people to be saying this has got to send a shudder through the Obama camp. Ping to Today show list.

Obama also has to go to colleges (young and ignorant) or bring musical acts to get a crowd. There for him or the free show?

WTH?

Is Barry-O wearing a pink bracelet, or is somebody else picking his nose for him?

Only 5,000?

Stick a fork in him, he’s done. There is nowhere near the kind of enormous enthusiasm Obama had on his side in 2008.

And that why every poll is way off since they use a 2008 turnout model.

This election won’t be like 2008 at all and Brian Williams just gave the game away!

That’s got to be a real blow to his, very sensitive, ego.

I sounds like the Obama tank is running on empty

Facing reality. They all want to have jobs after THE ONE is thrown out of office. But we already know who they are and what they stand for.

The Obamabot media is deserting the badly sinking Obama/Biden ship. Shucks, that idiot, Joe Biden can’t muster a thousand supporteres at just about every stop!!!

The media is not exactly climbing out of the tank, but, they are sticking their pinkies out so when obammy is gone they can point to their even-handedness when raking Romney over the coals.

Did you note how he hedged on the 5,000 number... my instincts tell me the actual crowd size he is referring to is probably more like 1,500 to 3,000.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

On a serious note, as I can't see where he has ever had to deal with adversity or rejection before, I am afraid he may become suicidal.

My daughter was only about 2 when she learned that song off the radio and began belting it out from her car seat.
