323 POST A COMMENT

President Barack Obama is having trouble drawing large crowds on the campaign trail. At the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, his campaign was forced (http://www.dailymail.co.uk /news/article-2198206/Democrats-set-Obamas-big-speech74-000-seater-outdoor-stadium-20-000-seater-indoorarena.html) to move his acceptance speech from the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium to the 20,000 Time Warner Cable Arena, citing weather as the excuse. But the media are always eager to help--for example, putting 18,000 people inside a 5,000-seat arena at an Obama event in Milwaukee on Saturday.
The contradiction was first noted by battlegroundwatch.com (http://battlegroundwatch.com/2012/09/23/how-big-was-obamas-crowdin-wisconsin/). Local media, including the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, reported that Obama had addressed "supporters who filled the 5,000-seat BMO Harris Pavilion, along with thousands more who sat in bleachers and stood on the pavement beyond the protection of the roof, even as wind and rain lashed down in the latter moments of the near 30-minute speech." The pavilion was not "filled"--a local reporter for Patch.com filmed empty seats (http://shorewood.patch.com/articles/video-obama-rallies-supportersin-milwaukee#video-11457586) in the bleachers at the side of the arena (see above). Nevertheless, the Journal-Sentinal played it safe, putting attendance at roughly 5,000-plus, a small but respectable turnout.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/09/23/Media-Put-18000-...

That's not how national media covered it. Darren Samuelsohn of Politico reported (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81556.html?hp=t1) that the president addressed "a crowd the Obama campaign estimated at 18,000 in a city park overlooking Lake Michigan" in an attempt to "lock up" Wisconsin. Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal--whose news section, according (http://www.timgroseclose.com/) to UCLA professor Tim Groseclose, is the most liberal of any major mainstream outlet--repeated (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/09 /22/obama-makes-pitch-to-wisconsin-in-the-rain/) the campaign's 18,000 claim without even revealing the source of the official-sounding estimate. Both outlets described the location of the rally as a "park," without revealing the name of the arena itself, which would have given the game away. The images provided by news wires are predominantly close-up shots such as the one above, showing Obama surrounded by a small circle of supporters. Only Getty Images has a wider shot (http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/president-barackobama-speaks-to-supporters-during-a-news-photo/152588728), similar to images (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251104051) at the left-wing message board Democratic Underground that show the inside of the arena. That's a full-ish arena, but nowhere near 18,000 people. There seem to be no images at all of the 13,000 people who supposedly made up the difference outside the BMO Harris Pavilion. (I'll be happy to correct this article if anyone can find any.) Meanwhile, the nation is being told that Obama drew a massive crowd--nearly the size of the crowd at his acceptance speech in Charlotte--in a crucial swing state six weeks before the election is over. If Obama were really doing so well, why would the media have to resort to such distortions? And why would he be in Wisconsin in the first place? ________ Obama Hammers Romney at Wisconsin Rally

How does this jackass talk about "spending 5 trillion" on tax cuts when the fu--ing government does not HAVE 5 trillion, and will first TAKE 5 trillion FROM taxpayers? Do they even comprehend the english language any more? You don't spend money on a reduction of taxes unless you belligerently assume as most democrats do that next year, everybody else's money already belongs to you.

they just keep lying. i guess they can't stop. it's depressing that i have/had been fooled for so long. My eyes were opened sept 2nd 2001 and I saw the world with brand new eyes and a healed spirit. All that i thought was good before, was shown to me to be false. Those that I had trusted were revealed to be untrustworthy. After 11 years I know what Lot felt like. Not that I am righteous. But he who delivers me is. Blessed be the Lord Jesus ever more. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished

In 2007-08, I was a detective in suburban Ohio. We saw all the candidates many, many times. We were pressed into service during Obama's campaign when he visited a local high school. The gym holds about 3,000 people and the speech was in the middle of a school day. To my shock and surprise, no one from the high school attended the speech. About 20-25 busses full of Obama supporters arrived and filled in all the front rows of the gym. A woman briefed them all on when to clap, cheer, etc. Someone else made all the media position right behind the Obama supporters, numbering no more than 300, creating the illusion on TV that he was speaking to a full house. I thought surely the media would eat this guy alive. I had no idea they have been in on it since the beginning...

The 2012 election is a turnout battle, pure and simple - just like 2004. The polls do not matter because there are no undecided voters. Everyone chose sides long ago. No one is changing their minds. The only "undecided" issue is whether to show up and vote at all. Overestimating crowds is one technique of ginning up enthusiasm in Obama supporters who might be too lazy to vote if they thought Romney was sure to win. And likewise, it demoralizes Republicans who assume their guy is going to lose, so why bother to vote? That is what this is all about.

You mean the media isn't listed as part of the Obama-Biden campaign staff? They do work for Obama don't they? Look how much free campaign time they give him where he doesn't have to send any of the dollars he has collected from his Hollywood/Hip Hop/NBA crowd. David Letterman tops the list. Then there is CBS with their editing of his interview so that none of his answers could be construed as being negative, inaccurate or incorrect. And then you have MSNBC which does nothing but campaign for Obama morning, noon and night. Chris Matthews even lies and distorts the facts in Obama's favor, live unemployment percentages. The FEC should rule that NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and CNN should be listed as contributors to the Obama-Biden

This exaggeration is another reason we ought not to be so worried about poll data coming out that seems to show Romney standing even or behind Obama by a few points. Most of those polls reflect phone calls to the elderly who are home to answer surveys, not so much the younger or working class that are somewhere else. Obama is having trouble selling "change," since all change so far has been for the worse. That he keeps running the show circuit ('The View', etc), and not engaging in statesmanship, is another reason to not be alarmed. His appeal is to emotion and ignorance and painlessness rather than to policy and substance. It's all part of the being the master image-maker for the left. But "forward" is looking now as empty as those empty seats. People see his apathy and his hollowness.

An Obama fan who commented earlier said he was both (1) at the rally and (2) was familiar with the site -- and he claimed only that "14,000 to 15,000" attended. If that's the report from an admitted Obama fan, then why did the MSM add an additional 30% to the crowd size?

The people in Charlotte were tooled unmercifully by the Obama team at the DNC. It was apparent for weeks that the Bank of America Stadium could not be filled. The DNC staged lines of hopeful ticket recipients, as if the demand was enormous. The lines moved very slowly, vetting ticket holders who they crassly knew would never have an event to attend. Behind the scenes, tickets were distributed in bars, restaurants, and churches. Advance men were in South Carolina and Georgia trying to see if logistics to bus in a crowd would work. It was like a lackluster pre-season NFL game between the Chiefs and Browns...no matter how many tickets were distributed, the stadium would be half full. The weather that night was ideal, although there was a brief shower earlier, typical of summer rains in the South. Even the complicit press can't disguise this smoke and mirrors campaign "as if" Obama is still wildly popular and that he a great leader. In truth, our president is an indecisive, thin-skinned extremist who hasn't a clue how to lead and more and more informed people have lost their love for America's multi-cultural icon. He suddenly seems to have no stomach for the job, preferring to hang with celebrities, sports figures, and dwindling crowds of admirers rather than meet with his Cabinet, Jobs Council, or Congressional leaders. The polls in Wisconsin all showed a toss-up in the Scott Walker recall, but he won by 7 points. The same will happen again. On Wisconsin! R&R 2012

Obama is toast. The LSM can't save him. His union thugs can't save him. The NBPP and Acorn's vote stealing can't save him. The fact is too many of the American people have awakened to what an inept, incompetent, ignorant fool the man is for him to be re-elected. People won't say it out loud because that would be racist, but the US bought a pig-in-a-poke in '08 to assuage white guilt and to be cool. The pig they got is our first Affirmative Action President. When it comes to Presidential authority it's hard to grade on the curve or give preference points for race, though the media is trying it's hardest to do just that.

Media Put 18,000 in Not-Quite-Full 5,000-Seat Arena for Obama in Wis...

I believe this is shaping up to be the Little Big Horn for the LSM. They are fully invested in barry and will end up like everything else associated with this poser, ruined. The pace of their journey to irrelevance and wasted carriers will be expedited immensely. I am really looking forward to witnessing what the bright light of truth does to these slugs.

If Obama cannot draw 20,000 in Milwaukee, home to collective bargaining, then he is much deeper trouble than thought. This is a state loaded with union thugs and Milwaukee has the highest percentage of African Americans in the state....rut roh Shaggy things aren't looking so good for president Dope and Blame.
