any politician, rock star, musical group, any person or group of persons, than ever before in the history of mankind.

That's what I believe, I can't think of any precedent.

1. I'd bet more have gone to seen the Rolling Stones

They've been playing for like 40 years...or is 140 years? I forgot.

2. Obama is short by a couple of orders of magnitude.

3. Read the OP... in one year

Of course Obama doesn't hold the lifetime record or the record for a single event. In a year he could be closer but I'm sure some rock/pop artists/bands are ahead.

4. Sounds like something we'd see on Colbert.

"Sure, you might look it up in a book and find the Beatles drew more people; but I looked it up in my gut."

5. Have you ever seen photos of some of Hitlers rallies?

Obama isnt anywhere close to those.

(Of course the Germans didnt really have a choice...)

6. Pope John Paul II?

He filled stadiums whenever he went on tour
