About 750 people attended the event at Anaheim Convention Center, where Obama delivered a short speech centered on unity and the “politics of hope.” And, after a story about getting kicked out of Disneyland when he was caught smoking in the Magic Kingdom after a concert as a teenager, Obama issued an impassioned critique of Trump and the state of American democracy and encouraged the crowd to back the candidates he came to support.

Fake news media sycophants, boot-lickers and hangers-on probably outnumbered those in attendance.

Yeeeeah, baby!

Looks like he will have to bring back the rock concerts and free beer to draw an audience.

Anaheim Convention Center, Ballroom E:

Looks like that room was at half-capacity for the event (give or take). I see 1200 - 1500 seats.

#6 That room shows each grouping of chairs as 15 x 20
He cannot fill up Ballroom E. Imagine his look when he saw how few showed up. I bet most were bused in and paid $10.

Shows 8,000 person capacity.

#57 That looks like the size of a movie theater seating.
The people are disappointed at the trailer being seen.
I see they closed off the whole room by 7/8’s capacity.
