Photo of the Day: Obama Waves to Empty Stands at Official Campaign Kick Off Rally

Bummer. It was supposed to be such a big event.

Barack Obama waves to empty stands at his official 2012 campaign kick off rally in Ohio.

Here’s the campaign’s list of excuses for the low turnout.......

THANK YOU COLUMBUS!!!

Anyone have a count on the number of out of state busses that were on campus? I would bet there are more than one or two.

sometimes....life can be pretty sweet!

Dateline Columbus, Ohio

Today obelezebub and his dark angel played to a crowd of tens of lukewarm supporters and other assorted nuts.

No doubt a bunch, but not enough. I've read in the past that SEIU co-ordinates the bus mobs. This one was a fail. :)

Another view, this one taken by a non-state media photographer (from the Breitbart site). I wonder how many of the people on the floor are media/staff/police?

Where were the Greek Columns and the Togas for the Emporer and Empress? They couldn’t find any unused circus tent for Michelle the Mooch?

[Texas Eagle]

Not to worry. The people will be photoshopped in like a fake birth certificate at a later date.

They shouldn’t have scheduled the job fair on the same day.

Take the time and go here for an excellent video:

Second Deck Empty. Obo and Mooch play to half empty house.

[Son House]

They’ll have to start busing around the Occupy Wall Street crowd to fill the venues.

[RightOnline]

Yes....and fainters; don’t forget to add the fainters.

[2111USMC]

OMG! They couldn't find enough drooling commie kids at OSU to fill an auditorium for the Great One?

Doesn't look good for Barry Soetoro.

[DJ Frisat]

All those seats are empty because everybody was working that day, having acquired jobs under Obama's robust job recovery programs and the booming economy!

I hope this isn't really necessary, but... [/sarc]

[SampleMan]

I’ve seen other photos showing a well lit stadium, where the empty seating was clear.

I wonder which AP hack decided to darken the background on this photo before releasing it.

Notice how photo is cropped so as to not show the Wookie’s WIDE LOAD posterior?

[Artcore]

Looks like these young people who voted for Obama when they were Freshmen and Sophomores (and who opted not to join the maggot infested OWS crowd) are out looking for jobs.

Obama is a POS!

[tet68]

That pic just cries out for photoshopping.
I can see looterman on the floor, Algore in
two or three places, even Bin Laden working
the concession stand. The opportunities are
priceless.

[Artcore]

ROFLMAO!

Actually, I wouldn't put it past these losers. This whole thing is an illusion! The media comes out one day telling us a new poll shows Obama leading amongst college aged young people, while at the same time he's feverishly visiting every college campus he can. Sorry, but the media template and the Kenyan’s actions simply do NOT jive!

And to think this skinny, crack-head has never, ever had a “real” job! What a POS, loser!
