Lackluster crowds for Obama campaign events

http://twitter.com/#!/ByronYork/status/198889914706829312

Saturday was the first official day of campaign speeches for President Obama. He spoke to Ohio State University students before traveling to Virginia for an event. One of the things that made his 2008 campaign so successful was the enormity of each crowd he spoke to. If today is an indication, those attendance numbers will drop significantly this time around.

RT @MarkLandler: Obama in Columbus. Crowd count: 14,000. Arena capacity: 18,300.

Some #AMAs viewers wonder why show is being hosted by ‘non-American’

http://twitter.com/#!/shastings6/status/404780385155813376

There are many viewers of the #AMAs who questioned the choice of rapper Pitbull based purely on his hosting skills, but there are many more who don’t think he should have been allowed to host the American Music Awards because he “isn’t American,” which isn’t true.

Pitbull was born in Miami, Florida to parents who were Cuban immigrants, but obviously a lot of people don’t know that or take the time to find out:

Many even want to send the Miami-born rapper “back to Cuba”:
