AT LEAST THERE WERE NO STYROFOAM COLUMNS. Obama Paid $93k for Half-Empty Stadium Kick-Off Event. “The event was widely considered a dud, and perhaps best remembered for images of the numerous empty seats.”

Oh, well, it could have been worse: Tony Robbins event ends in disaster as 21 people are treated for burns after walking on 2,000-degree hot coals. At the Obama event, there were just snores, instead of “wails of pain and screams of agony.” Yet somehow there seems to be a parallel.
