MIAMI, Fla. -- A low-dollar fundraiser here Monday felt like a throwback to the 2008 campaign.
There was the same old soundtrack including City of Blinding Lights by U2, the presidents 2008 anthem -- the enthusiastic organizers and the abundant appeals for supporters to rally behind President Obama.
The one missing element? Overflowing crowds.
Granted, it was a fundraiser, not a free rally. But the empty seats were hard to miss.
The top level of the 2,200-seat concert hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts was entirely empty, as were the seats along the side of the second and third levels.
"The expectation was 900," a Democratic official said, and more than 980 tickets were sold.
Tickets for the Gen 44 event started at $44, the official said.
Obama’s handlers won’t let this happen again.
The One must be protected from embarrassment and the Rubes must be fed enough bovine excrement to keep them in line.
Venues will be downsized and empty seats will be stuffed by party loyalists and paid union members.
Only the compliant, Obama rumpswabbing media who know what to report and what not to report will be permitted inside.
lol. "You lie!"
One would like to think there’s still hope for America, and that the legions of cretins, socialists, and racialists who elected the idiot in the White House have had a change of mind, if they even have minds to change.
We’ll have to wait another year to find out.
And remember...
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America. nobama is the Destroyer.
Everything nobama does is intentional.
God help us all.
Good one.
I used to really like that song.
You have to make sure that whatever venue you pick is crowded. No empty seats. Obviously Hussein's popularity is not as high as they believe.
This is Florida, where the dead will once again come out to
vote.
Barry MUST win there, so all the “shovel ready” jobs he
created will be unearthing of graves.
“The expectation was 900,”
So we rented a theater that seats 2200 because we like to lose money and make the boss look bad. Now, reelect us so we can run your life too....
Also interesting to read the comments, not much O support out there.
