Empty seats haunt President Obama
Perhaps he should change his name to "Cleveland Cavaliers"?
To: ColdOne
Expect photoshopped pics of future Obama events released to the undiscerning media.
To: ColdOne
The picture at Druge and Breitbart had Obama and Michelle - on stage.

An empty suit faces an empty stadium. Nothing can be more natural than that.

The arena was certainly not empty nor even half empty, and it was not clear that the president was even on stage when the picture was taken.
Maybe not in 'that' picture, but another one showed that the upper section was 'darkened' for a reason.
Using a simple graphics editor to lighten, without changing any content, the results show many empty seats in the upper section:

Mostly, I think, they stayed away because Obama chose Karl Marx’s birthday to launch his campaign, and the people wanted to stay home and celebrate with their friends and family.

Drudge is in the tank for Romney, which is bad news for Obama. Expect headlines blaring from the Drudge Report all summer long which will translate into millions of dollars worth of free advertising for the Romney campaign and a massive PR headach for the Obamabots. It’s tough for the MSM to spike a story when it’s got a flashing alarm light on the most-viewed website.

Reminds me of that famous Country & Western song: “If the phone don’t ring, you’ll know it’s me”!

It appears a few thousand people came disguised as empty seats.

It appears a few thousand people came disguised as empty seats. An appropriate audience for an empty suit.

Not surprising.
Half his audience, as is the case with half the nation, is either out looking for work or bumming quarters on some sidewalk somewhere.
But not to worry, Mr. President; when they’re in the privacy of the polling booth they’ll still pull the lever for ya, cuz, in their hearts, Americans all want your post-Soviet socialism and because you’re just so darn magnificent, right?

Someone commented: “those seats weren’t empty, they were occupied by dead voters”.

People are just bored seeing Obama giving a speech with the teleprompter day after day; when he is not playing golf or on vacation. People are starting to catch on he is a con-artist who has run up such a high debt only higher taxes will bale us out. They know he is not willing to cut anything.
To: FreedBird
They lost their enthusiasm after he’s nearly completed his first term and not implemented their socialist utopia and killed all the conservatives.
There’s just nothing to look forward to.
