MSM Turns a Blind Eye to Empty Seats at Obama Pep Rally

If, in a county where President Obama won 69% of the vote less than two years ago, the President cannot fill a Community College Recreational Center with a scheduled event, you might consider that to be newsworthy. Apparently the Mainstream Media did not.

Final results from the 2008 election show President Obama won the state of Ohio by a substantial amount. A quick check of the final numbers shows Obama with 2,933,388 votes and McCain lagging behind with 2,674,491. An election night drubbing, in a state that was considered by many media pundits to be a “battleground state.”

C-Span’s feed was primarily a very tight shot giving the impression that the place was packed.

C-SPAN has a liberal slant?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya!

Which is why I consider them to be worthless, irrelevant, and not worth so much as a dime. Even the WSJ (bought with airmiles) is sliding toward the cliff.

Dirty Little Secret:

During the 2008, The media was also hiding empty seats at several Obama rallies.

On the other hand, the Tina Fey look-a-like had standing room only crowds with long lines to get in which the media totally ignored.

How many seats were in this place to begin with? Was it a large thousand or more seat place or a few hundred seats ... what’s the percentage that 76 empty seats made?

This whole thing was weird. First of all, it wasn't in Cleveland, it was in Parma. Parma is Kucinich-land, and it has a real hodge-podge of a population. The tickets to the event were carefully controlled, probably the only way to get people cheering.

I wouldn't be surprised to see OH become a Republican state, except for a few HOR reps from some cities.

For all of the visits Obama has made to the Cleveland area, I don't think he's yet gone to the neighborhoods on Cleveland's east side, where you had kids wheeling their elderly neighbors and relatives to the polls to vote. (no exaggeration). There doesn't seem to be any enthusiasm about Obama coming to NE OH anymore.

Someone needs to drop the crack pipe. Obozo got 52.92% of the vote(2008 OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS). He did get 69,456,897 votes but not 69% of the votes!

Many people thought it was cool to vote for Hussein simply because he is black. Now they are forced to accept the reality that he is in way over his head and is nothing more than a community organizer.

It reads “in a county” not “in a state”

Cuyahoga County

Cleveland and inner ring suburbs

40% minority and a large percentage of Kucinich loving Caucasians

Yes it was 69%, sadly

Haven't thought about the "Drew Carey" theme song in years!

Moon over Parma, bring my love to me tonight.
Guide her to Cleveland, underneath your silvery light.
We're going bowlin'
So don't loose her in Solon.
Moon over Parma, tonight!

There was a rally (speech) in the HSBC arena in Buffalo, during Bill Clinton's second term. So few people signed up to attend that they filled the seats with teachers and school children. People were all fed a line of "bull" on how popular Bill Clinton was. Buffalo is a Democratic stronghold and there was no support for Bill or Hillary.

So, how are these people getting in office? There has to be mega bucks going out to Dem. cities around this country for "walk about" money.

Did the Dems raid the union pension funds to get enough money to pay off these black leaders, ACORN, Union leaders, etc. ?

I did a Google search about this yesterday and there were only two stories about it, and they were pathetic.

However, it is possible that there were more stories about this in the mainstream media, but since the Whitehouse seems to control all internet search engines, unless we go to each individual news source or purchase individual newspapers, we’ll never know.

Have you ever been to Parma? I was surprised, but there really is a Parma, it’s a city, and although it abuts Cleveland it’s a totally distinct place.

Obama was reported to win 69% of the vote in Cuyahoga County which is about typical for 'rat candidates. Parma is in the county, and is pretty hardcore union 'rats. The speech was initially limited to selected invited 'rat shills. Apparently, many did not bother to show up--a sign of serious demoralization among the 'rat faithful. Hence the empty seats at game time which had to be filled with layabout JC students who had nothing better to do.
