Jericho9 User ID: 7913305 United States 09/23/2012 01:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Uhhhhh..... Quoting: PravdaDemocrat If Obama were really doing so well, why would the media have to resort to such distortions? And why would he be in Wisconsin in the first place? The contradiction was first noted by battlegroundwatch.com. Local media, including the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, reported that Obama had addressed "supporters who filled the 5,000-seat BMO Harris Pavilion, along with thousands more who sat in bleachers and stood on the pavement beyond the protection of the roof, even as wind and rain lashed down in the latter moments of the near 30-minute speech." The pavilion was not "filled"--a local reporter for Patch.com filmed empty seats in the bleachers at the side of the arena. Nevertheless, the Journal-Sentinal played it safe, putting attendance at roughly 5,000-plus, a small but respectable turnout. That's not how national media covered it. Darren Samuelsohn of Politico reported that the president addressed "a crowd the Obama campaign estimated at 18,000 in a city park overlooking Lake Michigan" in an attempt to "lock up" Wisconsin. Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal--whose news section, according to UCLA professor Tim Groseclose, is the most liberal of any major mainstream outlet--repeated the campaign's 18,000 claim without even revealing the source of the official-sounding estimate. Both outlets described the location of the rally as a "park," without revealing the name of the arena itself, which would have given the game away.

I think we still have the I'm not a racist thing going on here while being polled. With the economy, food prices, obamacare taxes coming soon and all the warring....I do not think people will pull the Obama lever. If they even show up....His popularity is lower than the press lets on.. of course, he does do more big venue speeches than most presidents did. |

There were some seats empty on our side but that is because you could not get to them, the crowd was so large behind the seating area and if you did not have a special color tickets for seats you had to stand. |

I think a lot of people don't want to catch shit from either side, so they leave the lawn blank. It's really interesting to me in my LIBERAL neighborhood, because in 08 it was Obamaland.

The people behind Obama already realize this thing is OVER. All you have to do is look at the desperation in +11,+13, and even +16D polling to see that. I really do think the ground is being laid to delegitimize the coming Romney Victory, by claiming "STOLEN ELECTION!", "STUPID VOTERS!", "But, THE EXIT POLLS!" etc... Remember who the people behind Obama are. Radical Academic Socialists have NEVER given up power peaceably, anywhere in the world they have taken control.

Instead of trying to find someone that was really there they will look at photo's (care be photo-shoped either way). If people would talk to real sources instead of all the hate i wonder what the world would be like. But hey at least the President didnt go on Vacation while our country is falling apart.

You can still find the occasional 2008 Obama sticker on the back of a dented, banged up Prius, though. (how's that for imagery?) |
