Obama Camp Panic: Frightened O Won’t Fill Convention Stadium

Tarnished idol?

(New York Post) –Top aides on President Obama’s re-election team are terrified that there will be scores of empty seats when he makes his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, party insiders said.
……
“It’s always a concern about making sure there aren’t empty seats, but this is different,” said one Democratic official familiar with the convention plans.

“This is a different time than four years ago. It’s a different convention. And the president is viewed differently.”

The understatement of the decade.

“They’re worried they can’t fill the stadium,” the official said.

As a result, Democrats have taken steps to make the convention open to more people, not just party loyalists and donors.

In June, the party announced a contest in which participants have a chance to go to the convention for just $5.

Do you smell that? Obama desperation, my fellow Patriots. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Obama desperation in the morning…
