50 People Show-Up to Obama Rally in Ohio Today

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “Fewer than 200 people showed up to watch [Stevie]Wonder perform a handful of his hits at the early voting event in support of President Barack Obama.” The Washington Post reports that the crowd was only 50. Even though there was a shuttle bus standing by, Steve Wonder’s performance reportedly did not motivate anyone in attendance to actually head to the polls, however, although apparently many of them had already early voted.

Some people on Twitter have posted pics of Mitch Obama hoisting ol' Stevie up on stage; 'atta girl! I like the Secret Service agents in the front who are like "meh, she looks like she's got it. *shrug*"

50 People Show-Up to Obama Rally in Ohio Today

PIMP DOWN!
PIMP DOWN!

yes. they could go horribly wrong. but i like trying new things, and if romney gets elected it will be the republican party's chance to prove everything they've been saying the last 4 years, or fail trying.

How silly, considering what they've been saying the last 4 years is what they kept saying - and doing - during Bush's 8 years that led us into the crisis we've been facing and Obama's been slowly reversing, these past 4 years.

[stahrgazer]

For me, it's as simple as drawing the line when the Executive branch so thoroughly and frequently abuses their power and ignores Congress. Obama does not respect our principle of checks and balances. Obama has to go, and that is how I am using my vote.

For me, it's as simple as, Congress has become like the Lords of England that our Revolutionary forefathers fought against, which is something Obama recognizes and so he must stay in office.

Did you realize a congressman (woman) can commit crimes against his (her) office, be jailed and stripped of the office for those crimes, yet will still receive congressional pension?

Did you hear of congress suggesting a bill to give back some of the 10x raise they gave themselves during the good years, or reducing the public's costs for their supreme platinum medical care plans or pensions?

Did you hear that the Republican leadership's FIRST priority was NOT to uphold his oath by passing what's right for the people who voted him in, but instead, his FIRST priority was to ensure Obama would not get re-elected?

Don't you remember that Republicans in congress did not want ANY part of any of the medical insurance changes that came about with Obamacare? I realize not all of the plan is popular, but back then, Republicans didn't even want to vote to ensure no one got denied future insurance based on pre-existing conditions; or reduce the extreme percentages many insurers charged for administrative fees for insurance including Medicare and Medicaid (which is where many of the so-called "cuts" to Medicare and Medicaid come from in "Obamacare" - they are not "cuts" to CARE at all! Nope, they wouldn't even vote for the parts that just about every American (except perhaps insurance company execs) believe are the best parts of the Affordable Care act (including Romney).

And did you realize that most of the "plans" for everything that Romney is spouting now - which gained him a great boost in popularity - most of these popular Romney plans ARE OBAMA'S IDEAS!!!

So it's OKAY with you that, to make one guy fail, Republicans stalled and harmed the populace just so that they could wait to incorporate the same ideas once it's "their guy" in office?

That's an effective system of checks and balances to you?

For shame.

What did Bush do again? specifically? Was there anything in his last 2 years, like a Democrat majority in Congress, that might have a little bit of responsibility for what happened?

which proves an earlier point. Obama hates our founding principles, and think it's his job to "fix" our traditions, "redefine" our heritage, "change" our history, "radically transform" our country.

......."Ya see, there is no need to respect our system of checks and balances anymore, because obviously our system of checks and balances is as evil as the tyrannical Lords of England, which Obama is fighting against as the hero, in the name of reverse equality, reverse racism, and negative-Liberty"

click to 1 minute

Barack Obama has to change our history. The progressives spent 100 years changing it demonizing our founding fathers.

Anybody that thinks either party was anything less than complicit in creating the situation we are currently in is deluding themselves.

but all anybody is really saying is they are not exactly the same, and that one is better. Guess who is hogging all the delusion juice?

If I was an American, I would be voting for Gary Johnson. I heard him in an interview on CBC radio and I really liked his policies and platform.

Reason is a 50 year old print magazine named the #21 best publication in the U.S. by the Chicago Tribune and that is widely read and cited by thought leaders from both major parties.

Saxi: "So I was reading in The New Yorker ..."
Symm: "That crazy local gossip rag with the restaurant reviews?"

Your anti-intellectualism is becoming increasingly frantic/hysterical.

[nietzsche]

I heard today in the radio that the G20 was worried about the US deficit, and they mentioned that due the lack of agreement between democrats and republicans the supreme court could decide in an emergency plan? How can this news from the G-20 can impact the election?

I ask it here because I don't know much about it, don't want to start a thread without much facts.

I was going to go with the editor and former editor writing a book together, called

The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America

But I wouldn't want to make them seem partisan, so I won't mention it.

This news will hardly affect the election because Americans in general are already aware of the US deficit problem.

That's interesting speculation about the Supreme Court... could you divulge more details about that?

It's been awhile since I've read that. I guess the Supreme Court would be run by Russians, and we'll soon read 15 pages about the inner-workings of an AK47 and the struggles of the great inventor, Mikhail Kalashnikov, who battled the Russian bureaucracy in order to create a gun which forever changed the world.

Since freedom of thinking is relative, then you're implying that the Repocrats are freer thinkers.

Your trolling and baiting efforts aren't really going to work, especially since they are so transparent (MeDeFe's support of them notwithstanding). Maybe if you come up with some new material.
