What if you put on a presidentially sponsored climate rally, and nobody showed up?

It appears that is exactly what happened today, from Obama’s “Organizing For Action” website (now disappeared) there was this announcement:

OFA_climate_rally_8-13-13

Reality is a bitch sometimes:

See http://freebeacon.com/ofa-gets-zero-attendance-for-climate-change-rally/

Timing is everything I suppose. Checking the forecast helps too.

OFA’s climate change ‘rally’ has zero environmental impact, zero attendees | Twitchy

To be fair, there were multiple rallies scheduled today, and some did attract tens of people.

Oh, this is amazing! Not ten minutes ago, I thought to myself, “We’ll know it’s over when no one shows up to these meetings, protests or lectures.”
Yes, I know one isn’t the whole, but it does seem that attendance is very clearly lighter nowadays.
Then this! So nice! Thank you! 😀

Was this planned before or after he flew his dog on a private helicopter to their summer vacation house?

It’s obvious that Climate Rallies cause cold, rainy weather. To prevent future Global WarmingClimate Change we must institute a feverish schedule of Climate Rallies.

The money hucksters were off spending their gains somewhere else and did not have time for such loose change events.

That does not stop the regime from forcing CO2 rules and Obamacare down our throats.

See, that’s the problem with bots. They can’t actually show up in RL.

It’s hard to protest global warming when you’re cold and wet.

If anyone makes a big deal of this in the media, they will just shrug it off saying someone goofed in the publicity (propaganda) department.

It was a “virtual rally”…. attended by millions. See the clicks?
You deniers are such Luddites, Welcome to the the 3rd millennium
That was sarcasm for those of you who don’t know me.

Well it wasn’t a helicopter; it was an Osprey; the stupidest piece of flying scrap metal, ever to leave the ground.
You would never catch me riding in one of those junk piles..
As for “the dog”, actually it was BO, as in Barack Obama; the Presidential alter ego.
Anybody with that much of a self aggrandizement fetish, ought to take a page out of Icarus’s book, and not fly up towards the sun, in a pile of alloys, just waiting to plummet to earth.
If I were BO, I would chooses that much older flying bedstead gizmo, that looked like a jet elevated pulpit. It would be fitting for BO to be seen in a flying pulpit, specially fitted with stereo Tele-prompters.

No wonder the dog travels separate from the president, in the interest of national security the two are not allowed to travel together. Was there any canine present at the climate rally or maybe Biden was their holding the dog by the tail?
Rumor has it all the warmists were busy attending the Nazi Climate Bondage Show in Vegas.

I thought that given his background he would be using a flying carpet for this…. So much less environmental impact.

But the polls show a majority of people are concerned about our change of climate. LOL. What a bunch of climate clowns.
