Wow. Even then, it boggles the mind that he can still generate even that large a crowd.
How many were given tickets by Big Labor? How many were bussed in, free of charge, courtesy of Big Labor? Any “doctors” in lab coats? lol
Exactly.
How many in that huge crowd are Secret Service?
Answer: None. They are all up in the hotel room doing something else.
Here ya go rip300rog..
“How many in that huge crowd are Secret Service” Hookers?

Rope and Chains
Ohio is so over Obama. At least when people faint medical attention can reach them quickly.
I forgot…happy Cinco de Quatro, Senor Presidente!
“Quint, we’re gonna need a smaller boat.”
It doesn’t really matter.
Now that the Obama campaign has turned off the credit card verification process, the donations from Doodad Pro and efjvhfshju and Hamas and other illegal contributors will be pouring in. They did this in 2008 and that moron McCain wouldn’t even speak up about.
Where is Romney on this?
Sarah Palin could fill that place. We would cross a few states if she was in it.
I bet Team Obama won’t let that happen again.
They will bus in people or give away free things to get people there.
How dumb are college kids to cheer on the guy that has saddled them with massive debt and left them a future with no jobs?
OK, but I think his speech shows that he’s got some strong positions, and I think is a much better campaigner today than four years ago.
Romney is going to have some trouble differentiating himself and attacking in any kind of conceptual terms. Romney’s campaign is going to be (a) where are the jobs, (b) gas prices have doubled, and, um, that’s about it, oh yeah (c) I’m not Obama.
Yeah, something about “the opportunity economy” but I don’t see that carrying a lot of weight. Obama’s “fair shake for everyone” or whatever it is, I think is rhetorically stronger – even if it is either meaningless, or a disguise for socialism.
Romney better get a good VP candidate, not to mention a great campaign staff.
OK, but I think his speech shows that he’s got some strong positions, and I think is a much better campaigner today than four years ago.
Really? What positions? What positions that don’t emminate from a junior high school student?
And how is his “campaign” better than the invoked parasitism of 2008?
Get a clue, junior.
Josh, please be more subtle. Many of the writers and commenters at PJ Media are considerably more educated than you are. You are damaging the cause and I may have to transfer you to World Net Daily.
Best not to jump to conclusions about commenters level of education. You might just be wrong here.
Please don’t argue with Mr. Soros, he has a point.
If you are saying what I think you’re saying, Josh, then you’re a commenter of rare honor. I’ve had more than my share of arguing with high-school kids who claim to be professionals with multiple graduate degrees. As they say, “on the Internet no one knows you’re really a dog”…
Still, if you have something to say and are prepared to say it politely and to back it up, feel free to bring it on!
Haha- good one! what exactly are Obama’s “good positions?” Jobs? Economy? Middle East? Obamacare? Deficits? Taxes? Keystone pipeline? it’s more like Obama wants to say “oh, look at that bird there!” rather than talk about both what he’s done and what he believes. Nobody like either.
Turn out the lightsssss, the party’s overrrrrrr.
Good to see racist-commie rallies aren’t quite as popular as a few years ago. Still, this moron will win in Nov., thanks to your pal and mine, political correctness. That’s the real enemy. Illegals will continue to pour into this country, socialism will continue to thrive, monies will continue to go out to Kenyan politics and the Palestinian Arabs as de facto global reparations for effortless Western success and wreck America until PC is put down.
In order to have an over-flow crowd, don’t you need to fill the seats first? Did anybody faint??
Reminds me of a Charlotte Bob Cats game.
So sad when that happens.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Obviously with Cinco de Mayo and Derby Day occuring on a college campus on the same day everyone was just too wasted to get to the rally.
If they had offered free mint Julips and Tequilla shots they might have done better.
They could have had a derby themed video on the big screen with Obama as the lead horse while Romney is in the parking lot trying to tie his horse to the roof of his car.
Here I though Democrats were supposed to be the cool creative party types.
Axelrod was on ABC Stephanopoulosa this morning (Jake Tapper filling in), claiming they filled 14k seats out of 18k.
Axelrod is as scuzzy a piece of merchandise as has been seen in DC for many years, maybe ever. Every word out of his mouth is a lie. His number one argument for Obambus is that “in the last months of Bush we were losing 800,000 jobs per month, and now we’re gaining 100,000″. This is like Wiley Coyote bragging, “Ten seconds ago I was falling 800,000 miles an hour, and now I’ve bounced off the rocks!” Good going, Wiley.
But what really gags me is sending economist Austan Goolsbee out to be a general purpose campaign flack. Goolsbee is a smart guy and a good economist, but he’s only an amateur politician or liar. WTF does he think he’s doing? Geithner is another financial type trying and failing miserably at being a political flack, but Geithner has about half Goolsbee’s intelligence, Geithner has always been someone’s buttboy, but until now always in the back room.
So who else was on ABC, supporting the administration? Tavis Smiley, declaring Martin Luther King, whose bust Obambus has in the Oval Office (did it replace there the one of Churchill?) was the greatest American there’s ever been. Also very weak.
Yet Obambus’ speech in Ohio about “fairness” is going to have huge resonance in this week economy, and with a rich guy as the Republican candidate. Obambus in shirtsleeves and open blue collar, I dunno, I thought that was maybe going too far.
Here’s the transcript:

I think it was a little different in the other location. It’s probably also the most socialist speech ever given by an incumbent president. But it has some strong rhetorical lines, and we know even the worst of the stuff appeals both to the MSM and to at least a third of the electorate. And the question is, what does Romney actually believe, that does NOT live up to the worst in this speech? I don’t know. So two points. One, Obambus has a new speechwriter (or six) who write great stuff, in there with several other speechwriters, possibly including Obambus himself, who writes his usual terrible stuff. Two, Obambus is counting on Romney to validate some (any) of the points Obambus makes about “the rich”. Judging from history so far, Romney will (a) fall into the trap repeatedly, (b) not counter the bad stuff very effectively, and (c) not advance any clear and catchy alternative.
Hopefully it won’t matter. Romney’s campaign will mostly attack Obambus and not engage with any of his points, and that will be enough, just point to the jobless numbers and the price of gas, and that Romney isn’t Obambus.
Jay Leno should get some props too about his reaction to “Forward!” as Obambus’ campaign motto. “It means don’t look back at the economy and jobs and what he’s done so far”.
…Comment, please keep it up. Thanks for the transcript too. Had heard this:
“Corporations aren’t people. People are people.”
— as the soundbite played over the radio. We must ask Obama, the Constitutional Law scholar, “But are corporations ‘persons’?”
Could it be that this a$$hole has been in a campaign since even before he became, and people are getting tired of him already? There are many who will not verify it except to close ally’s that they despise this guy and when election day comes will vote to oust him from the political scene.
There are many polite people out there but some are almost ready to outright come and say “Hey you can call me racist if you want but we need to get rid of our President because he is the worst president ever!”
