President Obama officially launched his 2012 Presidential re-election campaign on Saturday with a rally in Ohio. Speaking to a crowd of over 14000, the president hit all the right notes leaving the crowed fired up and ready to go.
But soon after the event was over, pictures began circulating from the right-wing and the Romney campaign depicting the crowed at the event as non-existent, as this tweet from the Mitt Romney Campaign Spokesman Ryan Williams said;
View from floor during @BarackObama speech. Not the “overflow” crowd he promised tinyurl.com/7fcozsu#not2008anymoretwitter.com/RyanGOP/status…

And the headline on the Breitbart conservative website read, “Obama Launches Campaign in Empty Arena.” If you are a low information Fox News viewer or someone who gets your news from Breitbart’s website, then you’ll walk away thinking the President has lost his touch. You will think the American people have tuned him out and you will think there is an enthusiasm gap for the President.
And then there is the truth. The video below shows a different story.
