Proof the Right Used Pre-Rally Picture To Claim Obama Arena Was Empty

[Galraedia]

The right has tried to claim that the arena was empty for Obama’s Ohio rally, but an analysis of the photo reveals that the picture was taken before the president went on stage.

Here is the picture of the “empty” arena:



Here a picture of Obama taking the stage at 1:20 PM ET:



Here is a view of the upper bowl that the right didn’t want you to see:

1. Having seen this already I'm wondering ...

Who is "the right" here. I mean I know they like to smear Obama at every turn but if I use this as an example I'd like to know specifically who is doing this...

2. Excellent question.

I'd like to know that too. And what the chain of deliberate fabrication is.

3. The first picture was used this morning on MSNBC

Alex Wagner show. Blew my friggen mind.

4. Maybe I'm crazy

But I saw left right and center using the "empty" photos.

Pic 1. They are all looking at someone
(maybe its the warm-up guy)
Pic 2. The upper deck is clearly empty
Pic 3. Conveniently, the stage is out stage is out of frame

Just sayin'

7. One man is pointing upwards with his hand. I doubt that he would do that if

he were watching someone on the stage. That is more likely a picture of the stadium with something going on on screens or someone preparing the podium (thing Obama stood on). They could have been pulling the podium up. That would explain why the man is pointing like that and why they are all looking up.

5. "they" are pushing the Karl Rove theme that the success was a failure

I live in Columbus, OH less then 2 miles from the event .... I had to work ....
14,000 people turned out to a 18,000 seat arena .... 20,000 if you count
floor seating ..... to go to the speech you had to be there 3 + hours before the
event. The empty seats were in bad sight lines or at the top of the stadium.

Mitt Romney has never had >10,000 for any event he has had during his entire
campaign.
