I’m laughing so hard I’m having trouble typing. The Obama campaign has crowd-size envy, but they won’t admit it. They say that they’re purposely limiting crowd sizes to save money and resources. LOL! As if they’ve ever cared about saving money.
The New York Times reported that the Obama campaign said that it is intentionally limiting crowd size at their events because of security and cost:
“We have plenty of time for big rallies,” a campaign spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said between the rallies on Thursday. “Our focus right now is on exciting our supporters and winning over undecided voters and the smaller and medium-size events are the best venue to accomplish that because the president can closely engage with the crowd.”
Big rallies are expensive, especially given the logistical and security challenges for a president as opposed to a mere United States senator. And Obama campaign operatives, both at the Chicago headquarters and in swing states where Mr. Obama recently has stumped, say the campaign intentionally limits crowds by restricting tickets. The reason is to allow the president to better connect with supporters, aides say.
Bwahahaha!
Update: Linked by Scared Monkeys – thanks!
The only reason I can think he is telling the truth is if campaign donations are really down and he has to cut back on spending.
Now get that long laugh out of your system, I’ll wait.
Yeah, I don’t buy this crap either. It’s really hard to be enthused when you’ve heard the lies this clown has been telling America while everyone except his cronies have been hurting.

“Closely engage…”. I’ve read Obie even disses his $37.500 donors! At fundraisers they complain he fails to engage. In fact Obama often delivers a few words of thanks, shakes a few hands, and often doesn’t even eat dinner before he takes the money and splits.
How can anyone believe he’d be MORE eager to engage just normal folks???
This is possibly the flimsiest, clumsiest spin I’ve ever read. It’s also the most hilarious!

I’m sure the real reason they’re limiting crowd size is because the crowds just aren’t showing up.

The claim that Bammy is drawing lower crowds is a flat-out lie!! He has asked his adoring worshippers to attend dressed as empty seats.

[...] the rallies to save money. What type of fools do they have this time in 2012 at Team Obama? As the Lonely Conservative aptly states, since when did Obama ever care about saving money? All one needs to do is take a look [...]

You can fool some of the people most of the time, and some of the people some of the time, but the truth eventually leaks out!
Hope and change are dead!
