“Meanwhile, Obama’s Chicago fundraiser gets half attendance.”

In which case, they move the rally to a smaller venue, or the Leftist media refuses to show the yawning empty spaces around the small crowd. You can always tell when it’s a union crowd or a rent-a-mob crowd because they are too lazy to clap.

Maybe they can move the Obamao rally to a smaller venue so it doesn’t look so noticeably empty — maybe someplace more appropriate like an porta-potty.

“You can always tell when it’s a union crowd or a rent-a-mob crowd because they are too lazy to clap.”

This is a great thread, so many good remarks.

What you say reminds me of an ad that ran for Jon Corzine here in NJ during his re-election campaign. I say the ad ran “for” him because I don’t know if it was his own ad or by another group.

Anyway, it was SUCH a bad ad the first time I saw it I thought it was an oppo ad. I had to run the TV back and watch it again, I really did think it was a sarcastic sort of parody. But no, it was really in support of Corzine.

Obama had come to NJ to campaign on Corzine’s behalf and there were shots of Obama and the crowd. First it showed Corzine standing behind Obama and he looked so small and overlooked, it was weird. Then it showed shots of the crowd and they were just as you say - too lazy to clap. They didn’t even look happy or excited at all. They were listlessly holding signs that said “Obama/Corzine” as if there were some ticket with those two on it.

Truly it was one of the most bizarre ads I’ve ever seen. To this day I can’t believe that several dozen big shot political/advertising types looked at that and said “Yeah, let’s buy air time and run that”.

And we all know the end of the story - LOSERS!
