President Barack Obama, joined by Ohio governor Ted Strickland, came to Ohio today to continue his permanent campaign on health-care legislation. His campaign events during the 2008 presidential race attracted crowds of thousands of Ohioans; this time, President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people. With his negative approval numbers in Ohio (44 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove), it isn’t much of a surprise that few showed up to hear him once again talk about health care. On health care, Ohioans disapprove of the job President Obama is doing (34 percent approve, 58 percent disapprove). On the health-care proposal, 56 percent of Ohioans mostly disapprove of it, with 43 percent believing that the proposed changes go too far.

The list, ping
Is there enough crowd control by the Obama people that we couldn’t have perhaps a Ceauceascu moment, when the people are booing him?
It would be wonderful to see the attendance differences if there were a Palin counter rally at the same time in the same town as one of these Obama stage shows.
The MSM tap dancing would be wonderful to watch.
Bwa hahahaa
Transgender conference?
And I heard him say that employers premiums will go down 3,000 percent under Obamacare, and was cheered for that.
Does the president know his math? By definition, nothing can go down more than 100%.
I wonder if you will see this on your evening news. Can you imagine if “W” had said that an amount was going to drop 3,000 percent? Can you imagine that Jon Stewart and Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow would get math professors on to explain that concept??
Welfare brood mares, ACORN workers and SEIU union thugs.....
A lot of people showed up, they were all outside yelling “Kill the bill”. There is a video at this link:
Do we know how many people the venue could have held, or did they move it to a broom closet to say it was a capacity crowd??
200? That’s sad. =(
LOLOL ROFL
Soon, he’ll be dusting off his Greek Wall and bring it out.
...anybody else get the feeling he had to make this Ohio fly by so he could “feel the love”...?????.....this trip unlike recent ones seems totally unnecessary...unless he just wants to “get away”....which he seems to do more frequently now a days. Maybe he senses total failure. and being “out of town” he can always say “he wasn’t around”.....*grins*....and thought he’d call it in
“Nobody Shows Up” - kind of like the response to Obamacare.
Nobody (or not enough) are making their voices heard - so it will be imposed on them regardless.
More and more people realize that this Obamacare bill has nothing to do with getting healthcare to people....Surprised he drew as many as 200!
Now might be a good time for Palin to quickly get to Ohio and give an anti-Obamacare speech..... to thousands.
That must have bruised his prodigious ego.
The 200 must have been well paid, high on something or as big a fool as Obama. This is surreal.
