Obama Campaigns in Ohio - Another Bust!

Last night, Obama campaigned at the Wolfstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. In a 13,000 seat capacity stadium, he managed to fill only 8,000. Compare this with 2008, when a couple days before the election, 80,000 people showed up. A decline of 90%! I'd say this is pretty representative of how many Americans are currently feeling about the President.

Nonetheless, he continues campaigning, and in Cleveland last night, he shouted out how things would be different under Republicans:

You don't have a job? Tough luck, you're on your own. You don't have health care? Too bad, you're on your own. You're a young person who can't afford to go to college? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, you're on your own...

Ummm... this is what Obama just doesn't get! This is precisely what most Americans want! They want to be left on their own. They like pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, and the feeling of accomplishment when they do something on their own.

More government is not the answer, Mr. President. Some people in your party will begin to understand this on Wednesday.
