Thousands of empty seats for last Dem voter rally by Obama, Biden

Quote:
CLEVELAND -- The arena where President Obama and Vice President Biden are making their final appeal to Democrats to get out and vote in Tuesday's midterm elections was far from capacity Sunday afternoon.

The crowd estimate stands at 8,000 in the arena that seats just over 13,000 and a couple thousand empty seats are visible above the stage where Obama and Biden rallied supporters.

Most intelligent people are wise to his BS by now. ALL talk with little or no results.
The only reason he's talking about the economy is it's election time. This should have been his main priority 2 years ago !!!!

Why would anyone want to waste their time listening to more of this guy's lies ????

Amazing this was in Cleveland, supposedly the heart of a segment of obama's base.

I think it's more an 'Obama voters have wised up'.

Looks like the Dallas Cowboys game today, 'cept those fans were wearing paper bags.

Folks probably figured that at least their kids could get a better return on trick-or-treating efforts than the parents would by Obama's lip service horror show. Besides, at least half of those who would have attended are on the new "enemies" list or were told to "sit in the back". Who would go given those sentiments by the Divider-in-Chief? Lemmings?

8,000?

Maybe they should have said it was a Tea Party event to protest Obamacare.

I feel it is more the naive, i have wised up to Obama.

Fool me once, fool me never again, i now knoww the real
Obama, and your agenda, which in no means, is to see
that our staggering economy get back on track. Do you even have a solution Mr. President.! Your fancy talk, and your fancy speeches, won't get me this time, so many are now saying. I heard this morning, our economy and housing situation is going to get worse, how much worse can it get.
