OBAMA LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN IN EMPTY ARENA
BREITBART ^ | 5/5/2012 | ALEXANDER MARLOW

Posted on 05/05/2012 7:49:32 PM PDT by bramps

During the speech, Obama ripped into the presumptive GOP nominee and discussed nation building at home, but the most newsworthy item of the day was not the talking points Obama delivered: it was the crowd... or lack thereof. According to ABC News, the Obama campaign had expected an "overflow" of people. Instead, the arena looked half-empty. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Obama organizers even had people move from the seats to the floor of the gym in order to project a larger crowd on television.

I deal with the public every day. I'm not afraid to ask how they feel about our current President and the state of affairs of this country. The opinions are 10 to 1 against the current President, his administration and the direction he is taking this country. To Hell is the majority of their answers of where we're headed. That is why I've been maintaining that the polls are a figment of the media's imagination, they are prepared with the most loaded criterion possible but they are no where close to the sentiment of this country. And, I'm talking about Massachusetts as my sounding board. If you look back to 1980 and the trouncing that Jimmy Carter got, Carter was leading in most polls prior to convention time and then only slightly behind. The rest is history. I have no doubt that this election will be the biggest landslide and turn of congressional seats in the history of this country. In closing, I have an acquaintance that I argued with ferosiously during the 2008 camgaign. He was working for Obama day and night, raised money for him and was in love with the guy. I saw him last week. Guess what?? He is now a Republican. His reason?? Democrats don't know how to tell the truth. From his lips to God's ears. I'm betting Obama loses 50 states and congress with veto proof for Republicans.

Talk about an echo chamber.

Mo more pretending he could ever draw crowds of 75k by showing up at a concert and making himself the exclamation point.

I wouldn’t count on an Obama defeat.

The votes are going to be counted in Spain by SCYTL.

There will be no paper ballot audit trail.

George Soros owns SCYTL...

“I’m betting Obama loses 50 states and congress with veto proof for Republicans.”

I’m cautiously optimistic that he’s going to get smoked in November; here in NJ most bumper stickers were gone within a year (at which point Chris Christie was elected our governor and Scott Brown your senator), and I see no compelling reason for people even in Illinois to vote for him. He has lost the confidence of every demographic save the government workers that have survived layoffs, and even they have to contend with the unreported inflation. Logically he should have lost a primary challenge to any other Dem; he spent much of last year fending that off instead of focusing on Republicans (he certainly wasn’t focused on fixing the economy).

This talk about student loan help indicates that he is aware that he even lost the “youth vote” that was delivered to him by the media masters in 2008; he simply doesn’t understand that many people want to work to buy things, not accept government handouts while their self esteem is in the toilet.

I’m terrified of shenanigans costing us this coming election, but I’ve posted several times that he’ll have to fight for every state. Very few people are better off than 4 years ago, and that has usually been a good indicator of election results.

Dream on. He will win.

There is no way to fight the massive voter fraud.

Plus the GOP are wimps. They have had four years to take on the voter fraud issue but are so afraid of being labeled racist.

I am very saddened but I have to agree with you. The only thing I personally have going is I am old and will not probably have to see the "end" of what he will bring.

I hope and pray you’re right—if elections were fair and honest, I think that would be a given. I’m just worried about fraud, etc.

The other half are the ones who don’t realize the economy isn’t any better now than in 2010, when he extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich because the economy wasn’t getting any better.

In 2010 we also heard all the time people talking the same way as you are talking now and that there is no way the Republicans would win because of massive fraud.
