Hit a nerve on a liberal and watch the fur fly.MIAMI, Fla. -- A low-dollar fundraiser here Monday felt like a throwback to the 2008 campaign.
There was the same old soundtrack including City of Blinding Lights by U2, the presidents 2008 anthem -- the enthusiastic organizers and the abundant appeals for supporters to rally behind President Obama.
The one missing element? Overflowing crowds.
Granted, it was a fundraiser, not a free rally. But the empty seats were hard to miss.
The top level of the 2,200-seat concert hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts was entirely empty, as were the seats along the side of the second and third levels.
"The expectation was 900," a Democratic official said, and more than 980 tickets were sold.
Tickets for the Gen 44 event started at $44, the official said.
"This is going to be a very tough fight," said Alonzo Mourning, the former Miami Heat player, who spoke ahead of the president. Once Obama took the stage, a protester interrupted him at one point, repeatedly yelling: "Keep your promise, stop AIDS now." But the protester was quickly drowned out by the audience chanting, "Obama, Obama, Obama."
"The reason were here today is because our works not done," Obama said after hushing the crowd. "Our work is not complete. We're not at the summit. Were just part way up the mountain. There is more to do."

Now if all those unemployed in Florida can't pay $44 bucks to see our Harvard Graduate--community organizer--most intellectual President EVER--give another perfectly pronounced speech--you know this country is in serious trouble--
Why don't you go scratch your ass on a pine pole. What a fucking idiotic post. LMAO!!! The world is ending, and you worry about a $44. ticket. Put down your Nintendo and back away slowly, ya fucking imbecile.
You people are easy.
