While President Obama was mobilizing a large and loud crowd of thousands of supporters in Wisconsin, Mitt Romney was fundraising off of a crowd of 650 in California.
Here is how Fox 11 described the Obama rally in Wisconsin last night, Then the President continued his attack on the GOP ticket in front of an estimated 18,000 people at the Summerfest grounds along the lakeshore.
While Obama was rocking the crowd in Wisconsin, Mitt Romney was off trying to raise money for his cash poor campaign. According to the AP, Speaking to roughly 650 supporters gathered at Grand Del Mar, a luxury hotel north of San Diego, Romney said his campaign schedule has been hectic. Im not even going to be able to go home today, he said of his second home in nearby La Jolla. Were just coming to town to see you and keep the campaign going. Its nonstop.
Obama spent his day talking to tens of thousands of supporters, while Romney was complaining about not being able to visit his second home at a fundraiser. The right is outraged and claiming that there is no way that 18,000 people came out to hear Obama. They are accusing the media of pushing Obama propaganda. They believe that the real attendance at the event was 5,000. They offer no proof to back up their claims, but for the sake of argument, lets assume Obamas attendance was 5,000-10,000. Does it really make a difference?

(16,612 posts)He and his wife seem to be complaining an awful lot. Why did he run in the first place. He and Bush had 'Daddy issues'. Poor bastid, "Im not even going to be able to go home today, he said of his second home in nearby La Jolla. Were just coming to town to see you and keep the campaign going. Its nonstop. Boo hoo
We don't need another rich cowboy clown for president.

(24,721 posts)He was told by a couple that when they saw a picture of Obama, they asked their 4-year-old, "Who is that?"
"That's Barack Obama", he said.
"What does Barack Obama do?"
The 4-year-old thought for a moment & said, "He approves that message."
Love my Barack. Love the 4 yr. old.
