Barack Obama Can't Fill Roosevelt Ballroom for Speech - The Daily BeastSix weeks before the election, President Obama couldn’t fill the ballroom at the Roosevelt Hotel, despite cheap tickets on offer. And then he was met by hecklers.
Who would have thought that six weeks before a cliffhanger election, President Obama would have to reach down to the D list to fill a room to listen to him? Most of us low rollers arrived early to see President Obama up close and personal. Our tickets for the general reception at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York were only $100. Some thought the email invitation was a joke. Some bought tickets for $50 from their desperate Democratic committeeman. Some bought the same day
And how many people came?
450 out of 650. And they were given only an 1/2 hour to meet with him, too. Heck, I think an in town carnival show can bring in more people than that.
Priceless.
*sniff!*
I smell fear from Democrats this coming November election.
