Obama camp - We are intentionally limiting crowd size at rallies

The presumptive GOP presidential and vice presidential nominees Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan are attracting thousands of supporters to their campaign rallies since Mr. Romney named Mr Ryan to the bottom of the ticket.

However, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not drawing the crowds they once could. The New York Times is reporting that the Obama campaign is saying that it is intentionally limiting crowd size at their events because of security and cost:

“We have plenty of time for big rallies,” a campaign spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said between the rallies on Thursday. “Our focus right now is on exciting our supporters and winning over undecided voters and the smaller and medium-size events are the best venue to accomplish that because the president can closely engage with the crowd.

”Big rallies are expensive, especially given the logistical and security challenges for a president as opposed to a mere United States senator. And Obama campaign operatives, both at the Chicago headquarters and in swing states where Mr. Obama recently has stumped, say the campaign intentionally limits crowds by restricting tickets. The reason is to allow the president to better connect with supporters, aides say.

No. Those are actually Obama supporters sent to Romney/Ryan rallies to give them a false sense of security (Sarcasm)

Anyone can see its b.s. Since when are they concerned about costs for anything, especially their own security?

Bottom line.....It doesn't matter how many people show up for a speech, remember it's who counts the votes. With the votes from this coming election destined to be sent to Spain for counting, why worry about the faces in the crowd? Consider who OWNS the company that will count the votes in Spain, it Geo. Soros.

Unless we all get on the phone and demand that votes be counted IN AMERICA by non-biased American counters (Is there such a thing?), we are all plainly stated, “Screwed”
