The only 2012 presidential candidate that can bring the house down on any and all college campuses is Ron Paul, so I laugh when I see not only can't Obama bring the house down, but even with help from Stevie Wonder Obama still can't bring the house down

Yet I'm to believe the American public doesn't want Ron Paul... well I guess the old folks don't like him while the youngsters do?

And a positive message, even if his fans dont care about him, no more............

Oh hell! As a conservative, I'd have shown up just to listen to Stevie.



Beez, that is exactly what I was thinking! This must have been a poorly run event, because a free Stevie Wonder concert should have drawn thousands whether it was political or not.

Bill Clinton was here Friday Night, and even as a Conservative, I would have LOVED to go get my picture with Slick Willy, but his last appearance was at 8 p.m., and I didn't hear about it until 6:30. Piss-poor planning for the appearance. He was here all day Friday at several different venues, and there was just a smattering of people each time, because nobody knew about the events.

Uh oh, starting to see the cracks in the foundation from here. Could this be the tell tale sign that the big O's campaign is getting ready to crumble? Not a good sign when you throw a FREE concert with that Obama money and nobody seems to care. Maybe he should have given out free t-shirts and gas cards or something to entice his core supporters to come out and attend the rally?

how is that relevant at all, it's more like you are trying to psyche yourself up to be inevitably let down. have you seen the polls? and not the republican paid ones.

Perhaps because very few people knew about it? Even the title of the article: "Few knew about Stevie Wonder appearance for President Barack Obama at Cleveland State University on Saturday"

Is this some attempt to claim that the president doesn't have supporters?

"It would be disingenuous to say I am here because of Obama," he said. "How do you pass up a chance to see Stevie Wonder?"
edit on 3-11-2012 by links234 because: For beez.


A lot of comments here about "even with Obama's money" and painting this as something official and a huge flop is kind of ignoring that this sounds like an impromptu event from people who just "support" Obama. The only insight here is that NOT ADVERTISING means you don't attract people. And how big was the venue? Could it hold more people?

Don't answer, I don't care. If the election is close, Romney will win it because the electronic voting machines are all owned by major supporters of the Republican party. Then about 200 white tea baggers will get on a corner somewhere and jump up and down about how their moral majority just one something HUGE - and it will be recorded by 400 reporters and cameras, as a "spontaneous event."

If you want to see a turnout, look for the Obama, Jay Z, Springstein event happening tomorrow in Ohio.



Is that real? I've got to google it now. I would never have pegged "The Boss" for an Obama supporter, but then again, I can't see him as a Romney supporter either.

Springsteen is a HUGE Obama supporter, has been all election and in 2008.

You can go right to his official website to see the events he is appearing with Obama at.

I cant believe it either shows how people are still clueless, But Under GW Bush the economy was just fine before Obama came into office.

The Obama, *get out the vote* people threw a free concert with Stevie Wonder...only 200 showed up, and none got on the buses to go vote....plus, it was at Cleveland State university...



CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Legendary performer Stevie Wonder this morning expressed his love for Cleveland during a get-out-the-vote rally at Cleveland State University.

His love went largely unrequited.

Fewer than 200 people showed up to watch Wonder perform a handful of his hits at the early voting event in support of President Barack Obama.

Funny thing is I would be willing to bet that 50% of college age students, potentially much more than that, could care less about who Stevie Wonder is. If they brought someone a little more current with college age students, I bet it would have attracted a crowd.



Like I said earlier in this thread...there have been 100s of flash mobs that drew bigger crowds than this effort.

Hell, they even had buses to take people to vote early, and bring them back for more free concert. One would think, just the offer of a free ride and concert would have sparked Obama supporters to at least tweet to their buddies to come and get it.....Not one single person, of the under 200 who attended, even got on a bus....
