People pay a gazillion dollars to go see Springsteen and Jay Z and they can’t even get people to fill it for FREE?
look at that second picture- not only is the upper bowl empty but the middle level is as well...
Compare that with what Romney got today:
“ROMNEY CAMPAIGN at George Mason Univ in Fairfax, VA, Nov 5 2012”

That is an AWESOME sight. I bet Paul Ryan will get a bigger crowd tonight in an airport hangar at Sterling Aviation in Milwaukee that Obama got in Columbus. The Columbus arena holds about 18,500 so probably not even 12,000 people there.
Arena capacity is approx. 18,500.
I was hoping he’d end it in a soccer stadium. If you know what I mean.
If Bruce Springsteen couldn’t fill it, you really have to wonder. Either people can’t stand Obama, or the planning for this event was miserably handled.
Actually, Obama’s rallies in 2008 were not very large, either. Sarah Palin regularly outdid him in numbers and crowd enthusiasm, whenever she was able to work around McCain’s bogus handlers. The only really LARGE rallies were the ones in Berlin, Oregon, and elsewhere where Obama was introduced by huge rock concerts.
Apparently not even that is working now.
Snooooooork! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Did Brucie sing the old Jackson Browne song “Running On Empty” changing it to “Running On Half Empty”?
I’ve seen community college basketball games with larger crowds!
Bookmarked.
Obama will be spending tomorrow in Chicago playing basketball. Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler says he is voting for Romney. Brian Urlacher said he doesn’t like to get involved with politics, but hinted what his vote will be by saying he doesn’t like paying alot of taxes.
I see enough room for a thousand Chris Christies up there!
No! The arena was half-full!
Like it or not, the Illegal is POTUS and wasn’t in 2008. Lots of people will go to a rally just to see a POTUS. That being true, it’s astounding that the Illegal is profoundly failing to ge the crowds he got in 2008. GO MITTENS, GO!!!
There does appear to be a little ‘irony’ here (other than the Clint Eastwood ‘empty chair’ multiplied by many) the fact that you would know that if one such as Springsteen was a ‘supporter’ of yours he would probably be happy to ‘headline’ for you the day after the election, the point that comes up though is that BO ‘needs’ the help.
Kind of like
It is a great thing to be able to truthfully say I am healthy enough to work at 73.
The turn off is if you HAVE to work at 73.....
