(Washington, D.C., 5/6/12) Responding to unconfirmed reports President Obama kicked off his re-election campaign in a half-empty stadium at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, response to the photograph has been swift. Ohio will play an important part in the election of 2012 as it's considered a swing state.
According to our sources, a spokesman for the campaign called the allegations of a half-empty stadium “ludicrous”. His statement, made on condition of anonymity, follows:
“Attempts to paint this kickoff re-election effort as a failure fall far short of reality. Had the photographer taken his picture 3 hours later, the world would have seen the arena was filled to over-flowing with enthusiastic, adamant fans of Obama. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous.”
“Take any photo of an NFL stadium 3 hours before kickoff and you'd assume no one cared. Such is the case here. Fans were overflowing outside the stadium but adequate security measures prevented everyone from being there at the time this photo was taken. Our dear, dear leader deserves better than this blatant racism being displayed and the right-wing ought to be ashamed of itself for choreographing this charade.”
Developing...
It would seem that these are the types of crowds that Obama either thinks were there or that he aspires to.
Our dear, dear leader plays the race card!
What a surprise.
“Enthusiastic adamant fans”
Fans?? Really??
Bump for Obama lies!
Our leader? I thought he was our president.
Wow!
Working, ya'know
Dollars to donuts the half-full stadium was for Obama and when it filled up 3 hours later, I’m thinking rock concert time. After all, that’s how he worked it when he ran for his first term.
Stadium... the event was held in an ‘arena’ that holds 18,000
Pics or it didn’t happen.
All of Barry0’s composite girlfriends were there.... yeah, that’s the ticket. :D
Well-placed! LOL!
Obama’s campaign ignored the first rule of staging political events: Make sure the crowd either fills up the venue or over fills it.
Good catch.
Its been reported the campaign staff was moving folks down to fill up close in so photos would not show truth.
Its getting closer to “poke em with a fork” time. Shuck n jiv ain’t selling so well this time.
Of course the stadium was filled. You just don’t see the dead voters who were in attendance.
CP time perhaps?
If I'm not mistaken, his preferred term is "Dear Leader" (or maybe that's some other delusional dictator).
