Of course, we do allow comedy acts on campus so we will allow Joe Biden to appear.”

The Obama campaign needs to be more creative.
Just as Grigori Potëmkin had his beautiful and impressive fake villages, so the Obama campaign could have fake crowds. They could make imaginative use of cardboard cutouts of people (thousands of them - moved from campaign stop to campaign stop) and possibly green screens and some movie magic from his Hollywood friends.

Added bonus: it was Thomas Jefferson's University that told Obama to go pound sand.

EVERYTHING is “Left” to Obama.
It has to be so there is no “Right,” and thus no “Wrong.”

Didn’t Thomas Jefferson design a lot of that campus? It would stand to reason that Obama would not find a welcoming crowd.
