Obama Relection Rally or Spontaneous Celebration ?

Posted on 05/02/2011 12:20:50 PM PDT by Chaffer

My apologies if this subject has already been posted.

I watched the events unfold last night, but found one
thing very odd.   How do a thousand people materialize
on the Washingto Mall late at night, simultaneous with
the president's speech, all of them roughly in their late
20's and early 30's, many holding Obama campaign
signs?

I've been to the Washington Mall, and it is not exactly
party-central late Sunday night.   From Georgetown
maybe ?   Very curious.

Frankly I found the display in front of the White House last night completely disgusting. I’ve been irritated at the number of conspiracy theories that sprouted up this morning, but that thing last night reeked of flash mob.

Is this true? I haven't seen any pictures or video.

Initially they were from George Washington University and the commentators on CNN stated that. Probably got extra credit from the Profs to give Urkel a boost.

Washington is a company town that thrives on government spending, so I’d expect any random crowd in D.C. would be at least 90% pro-Obama.

I’m going with staged by our own National Socialist Democrat Party. The timing of the crowds appearing minutes after the announcement at that hour on a Sunday evening was just too out of the norm. My son who used to live in Alexandria said that to get a bunch of kids that age down there that late on a Sunday evening there had to be something like free beer just to get them there. Looked and smelled like BS.

FUBO & FAD

You are not alone in your suspicions. The only thing I believe out of all of this BS is that Bin Laden is officially dead. How long they’ve had him on ice will never be known. There is a very simple reason the government and MSM treat the public like we are stupid.

it certainly is an amazing coincidence that those signs just happened to be available for the crowd members to hold up for the cameras.

Magic?

I saw 2 people in the crowd holding Bush/Cheney campaign posters & 1 wearing a Bush/Cheney T-Shirt.

Today’s stock market rally shows just how much the economy is affected by the death of obl.

I heard someone speaking on WABC radio this morning and he said he was outside the white house with students who were protesting. I have no idea what that was all about.

Budget cuts? I just don’t have a clue.

Well there was the long delay so my bet is it was a set up..nothing spontaneous about it.

It's a 4-1/2 block, 7 minute walk from GWU to the White House.

Something to do Sunday night for the slackers with no Monday morning classes.

Thank you for taking precious time out of your busy day
to reprimand me.

I sure hope I spelled "reprimand" correctly.

Fox showed one of the cheerleaders that was whooping them up.

Staged pure and simple.

Occam’s Razor. I agree, PM.

I also thought Obama’s speech was extremely ungracious in suggesting that the killing of bin Laden was the most significant event in the terror war since its inception.

I’m not talking about the politicians or parties Obama stepped on with that arrogant, ridiculous statement.

I’m talking about all the brave troops who have given years of blood, separation, and hardship to bring about what was, in effect, a single operation extremely well executed.
