Obamas Pennsylvania stop for gubernatorial hopeful Tom Wolf was a subpar affair in terms of turnout, with only about a quarter of the seats at the venue taken a sharp contrast to the commander-in-chiefs earlier politicking days of packed stadiums. The White House pool report said that Mr. Obamas speech at a basketball arena in Philadelphia was markedly empty and that was after those prepping the venue partitioned off several hundred seats to make the speaking area smaller and more intimate. Press in attendance even noted that the floor area was dotted with spaces.

Maybe Obama just hasn’t shown proper respect to fast Eddie Rendell. No one could run the Philadelphia machine like Fast Eddie.

‘The rise and fall of Borat Obolas popularity is starting to remind me of the plotline of the rock mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap.’
The Roman Columns for Obama’s farewell speech will be eighteen inches high.

Not to worry.
Philadelphia will still have precincts voting at 110% of registered voters.
Most civic minded folks in the nation. /s

If Obama isn’t filling a stadium in Philadelphia, his party is going to have big problems in this election.

The Obozobots have learned well from their fearless leader that they only need to vote ‘present’ at their local union hall. The union leaders will take it from there and vote “properly’ on their behalf.

LOL... So true. So much of what I’ve been hearing lately is the same kind of rose colored optimism that got crushed 2 years ago.

Yeah, we heard the same thing during the 2012 election. No one was showing up for Obama......... You can count on Obama to have a complete lock on the "noone" vote.
Phantoms for Obama.
Demoncrat ideology is certainly not a mindset for the living.

Well, you see, this is what the Department of Justice was talking about, you disenfranchise voters by demanding ID. Go ahead, try to get into one of Obama’s speeches without having ID.

Well since he can’t be elected presidente again he just won’t shell out the money for seat warmers. Bet he’s sorry now though.

Not even the largest college basketball court in Philly. It was held at Temple University’s stadium
