Brian Williams: Obama Crowds Down To 5,000 From 50,000 In '08
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/25/2012 7:00:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Back in 2009, Brian Williams literally bowed to Barack Obama. Today, he's telling like it is from the Obama campaign trail: the size of the crowds is way down from last time around, and the candidate is not the same man he was in '08.

This is a stunning admission from a man seen as deeply in the Obama tank. Williams made his admission to Chuck Todd on today's Daily Rundown. Takeaway line: "palpably obvious to you: this is not '08. These are not the crowds, this is not the candidate."

View the shocking video here.

Oh PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
Rush/Hannity/Beck: play this over and over!
Fox: show this over and over!
Team Romney: make a commercial from this!

Brian Williams must be in the WOOD SHED now, and the Lames are going to try to forget this ever happened!

BTW: did anyone notice how F.Chuck Todd was trying to get him to move on at the very end by going “Yeah”, but then Brian closed it up anyways...

Obama and Biden were in Dayton on Tuesday and the local media has studiously avoided giving an estimate of crowd size in it’s reports.
The venue chosen required parking downtown, difficult to access and expensive, then hopping a shuttle bus to the venue. The photos posted on the newspaper’s website showed three buses with perhaps 30 people in line.
In another photo, it appeared that a mere three portable toilets were provided for the crowd. The venue itself would not hold more than 1000 people comfortably. It is also the local homosexual hangout.

I would like a defeat of the democrat party that is so crushing that it will be politically impossible to have another democrat party elected to office. IOW the democrat party goes the way of the bull moose, whigs, tory, or commies.

Sadly I have to say that I am not afraid that he becomes suicidal.
But I am not wishing for it.

“It is also the local homosexual hangout.”
Is he going back to his roots?

That is because, after 4 years, people realize those Greek styrofoam columns from 2008 have more substance than the guy who used them has.

After all the grandiose rhetoric, the bellicose speechifying, the promises, Obama spends more time playing golf than working in the Oval Office.

One thing I like about Newsbusters is that they publish transcripts with their vids, I can read and comprehend a lot faster than the vid or audio and that way i don’t have to hear the annoying sounds of Obama or his Amen Corner in the media. I wish Hoft over at Gateway would do the same.

Won't happen.

After 2000, many predicted the end of the Democratic Party.
After 2004, many predicted the end of the Democratic Party.
After 2006, many predicted the end of the Republican Party.
After 2008, many predicted the end of the Republican Party.
After 2010, many predicted the end of the Democratic Party.

See a pattern?

==

The Democratic Party does, however, need a take over, a cleansing, a reformation. The Libs/Progressives have gained control and they are driving the party on the road to socialism. Unless the ole blue-dog, Reagan democrats can muster forces and take over the party, it will continue, with every election, on that road.

Of course, the GOP has the same problem. It is just a few steps behind. The moderates [that is conservativespeak for Libs and Progressives] are moving the party along the same road as the Dems -- just not quite as fast.

LOL MY thought too. That park has such a reputation, I’m still puzzled by it’s choice.
Heck, I was priviliged to be part of a huge crowd downtown at Courthouse Square when Reagan spoke years ago.
