Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama officially begins his 2012 campaign speaking to a crowd of 10,000 when he expected 35,000.

Obama officially begins his 2012 campaign speaking to a crowd of 10,000 when he expected 35,000.

May the 5th, the birthday of Karl Marx, happens to be the same day Obama decided to pretend that his campaign was now "officially" begun. They held the opening ceremonies at Ohio State University. In 2010, Obama came to this very campus to campaign for Governor Strickland in a losing effort for re-election. Strickland lost the election, but Obama/Strickland packed the house with 35,000 attendees. The area is designed for 20,000. The folks were hanging off the upper deck seating and filled the floor, below. Today, you are looking at the crowd. The upper deck is empty and those on the floor where asked to get out of their seats and stand on the floor, in an effort to give the impression that there was more in attendance than was the case -- per true, blue Obama.

I don't believe it. Here is what I know. Over the weekend and throughout this morning, May 7, the pundits have debated the significance of the photo above (a pic taken by the Romney people) and what it means. Here is the important part: EVERYONE in the debates, folks from both camps, are in agreement with the pictured crowd in our photo . . . . . everyone. All agree that the attendance was between 10,000 and 14,000. Not one person on MSNBC, CNN or the several liberals debating issues on Fox, have chosen to use your video or make reference to it. Case closed.

Understand this, however, if I become aware of credible evidence that the Romney picture of the Obama rally is wrong headed, I will make that clear on this blog. I care nothing about publishing lies.

A couple of observational points: if the rally had not started, what are the people pictured in the Romney picture listening to. And where are all those banners in the Romney photo? You think they waited until the people began to show up before they hung the banners and got ready for the big day? Nice try, but not even close.

I guess this means I won the argument over the picture fiasco.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
