A giant black curtain was draped to hide half an arena of empty seats during an Obama campaign appearance Sunday in Philadelphia.
“A long way, for the president, from 2008 when he had Greek columns, and adoring crowds,” said Fox News White House reporter Ed Henry.
Meanwhile, there was pandemonium in the hall during an appearance earlier in Bridgeport, Connecticut as immigration activists heckled the president.

Yoh-oh–the citizens are getting restless.
They were plants…it’s all about the MSM news…tryin’ to make the President look bad…mean ole conservatives/Republicans.
They were, indeed. I watched the video without sound. There was NO visible reaction from Obama when the heckling started. Clearly he expected it and it came right on cue.
Same thing with Hillary heckling, all staged.
My favorite heckling “story” was when they asked us to believe that Hillary (I think it was) was heckled by a guy with a microphone. Yep, those microphone thingies we all bring with us undisguised and at the heckling ready.
I think it was a bull horn. Are they one and the same, microphone and bull horn?
Oops, I meant megaphone which I assume to be a bull horn or at least in that ‘family”. For this particular case bull horn sounds more appropriate.
: – D Like.
If we could read Obama teleprompter as he speaks, we would see these words:
OBAMA: As I have said many times before…….(pause for hecklers, in the upper left area of the room, then chuckle lightly after they’ve yelled at you.)
OBAMA: Well, looks like we have some folks here who are riled up. As I was saying…….
Obama=Obama’s
I was going to say the same things, a set up to blame Republicans again.
I thought that too: trying to create sympathy for poor embattled Obama.
Well, at least it wasn’t a racist “white” curtain. The Cold War had the Iron Curtain that destroyed millions of lives while an elite few wielded power and filled their pockets, The Obama era has the Government Curtain where a radical President takes it upon himself to shred the Constitution and use the administrative regulatory complex to destroy the lives and opportunity of millions of Americans.
It took half a century to win the Cold War but at this point I don’t even know if Obama’s war on America is even winnable. At every turn he’s embedded ideologues to oversee our destruction. ISIS is nothing to what’s coming down the pike from D.C. these last two years.
First thing is to secure the borders, stop amnesty and deal with the problems we have with the illegals. Everything else can be dealt with — if we don’t run out of time. But a tsunami amnesty will be a death knell. As it is our electoral process is seriously compromised and our entitlements are out of control. To say nothing of the cultural damage to the country.
How ironic that the very thing that America has been praised for — the melting pot — give us your tired, your poor — has been so perverted that once a strength is not a deadly liability.
The difference today vs then is that all those that went into the original melting pot did so as “new” Americans. They all wanted to assimilate, respected the rule of law and revered becoming “American” first with their country of origin second.
The millions of La Raza minions put Mexico first and demand America be second.
It’s going to take millions of us willing to stand up and be called racists, bigots, xenophobes and worse if we’re to stop it. But in context of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I and II, Afghanistan, being called a few words by radical leftists is a small price to pay considering the sacrifices so many before us have already paid.
Of course that is the big difference. A desire to assimilate and to be American. I am a first generation American and I know that well.
I have no problem standing up and taking the slurs. I think it is a huge threat to our very fabric. And LaRaza should be investigated to its bones, all the way to the WH where many ex LaRaza members work — in powerful positions.
I am hoping that Senator Sessions can be a gathering force.
Exactly.
Well said sir, well said.
The numbers are so close. I am very concerned. There should be a much bigger difference between the people running in tomorrow’s election.
I would like to hear from a great deal of people who have come here the proper way. Show there effort. Show the LEGAL way.
What is the plan? Gracepmc just mentioned, Secure the border first.
its always the liberals that heckle.
Conservatives don’t heckle. They are polite (generally speaking). We use facts.
‘Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain’ or the one facing it.
“You can’t say we’re going to give an honest days’ pay for an honest days’ work and then not vote!”
What the heck does that even mean?
He must be telling the paid shills to make sure they earn their payola?
Made myself laugh with an image of ValJar behind THE Curtain, arms and legs all akimbo, entangled in puppet strings , lurching awkwardly to and fro. It’s very satisfying — all the more so, since I fail at visualization.
One can’t be part of the audience, or gain entry into the venue without proper ID, assumed to be American issued ID.
We are to believe that American citizens are demanding that the American President allow foreign nationals to enter our country at will, and be given all rights granted to legal citizens.
Staged, phony, faux, and most of all, insulting.
All your comment needs is a flourish. !
I think it is fake as well. He did not have that sneer face he puts on when he is displeased about something.
Even the part of the arena that was not hidden contained a large number of empty seats.
It reminds me of a rally back in 2012 in which the organizers forced people out of their seats and onto the floor in order to create the illusion that FCMABBHO was speaking to a packed house.
But then, the big surprise: he won after all! I don’t trust the Dems or the MSM stories about any Democratic politician being heckled or boycotted.
I do no believe that Obama won 2012 without fraud and intimidation.
Was this one of the events at which only pre-credentialed reporters were allowed to film live?
The Emptiest Seat of All
We live in S. IL My husband and I were noticing that we could not find one Quinn or Dirkson sign anywhere. Plenty of dems with signs for local people but nothing at the state level. Know that it doesn’t matter; Chicago will control the elections, but it will be interesting to see the results in counties down here.
Durbin…good grief..sorry
nellas, thanks for the info from your area. Oh, how I would love to see Quinn kicked out. It will be difficult with all the games the Dems play to turn out the vote. Plus, the fraud of course.
Thanks Snark that you are concerned; we are too; just don’t know what to do about from our lowly end of the state!
Open question to ‘the panel’.
Boehner can be voted out of the Speaker position in the House,…but can McConnell be replaced as majority leader if he is re-elected ?
I would hope that he could be.
The main reason I ask is because he has openly said that the Tea Party is to be eliminated.
Found an article:
topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/…/mitch_mcconnell/Senate miniority leader McConnell who hopes to be the next Senate Majority.
I just love it when the amnesty communists eat their own children and yes Dictator Obama is their communist love child.
Always great with words Junius, excellent.
OT and Keith has mentioned this. Post Election the AWOL Ebola Czar Ron Klain to replace Podesta or McDonough.
Proving further that the Administration, still lacking a Surgeon General, ha no clear epidemic public health policy much less an Ebola policy.
Suspect if the issue of Evirus and illegal C.A. crossers ever manages to fight its way to one mention of it,it too will die on the Obama vine.
