An Allegheny County labor leader said on Wednesday he's to blame for unfilled seats during President Obama's speech to about 300 people in a South Side union hall.

At least 50 seats in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 5 hall were empty when Obama took the stage about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday to pitch the jobs plan that senators later rejected. Obama toured the IBEW's training center, met with members of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and delivered a 25-minute speech pushing for passage of his jobs bill.

Allegheny County Labor Council President Jack Shea said he misjudged the seating capacity and didn't invite enough people. Several floor seats that were supposed to be filled remained empty because, he said, about 45 people took spots behind the president's podium.

"I guess you can blame me for that," Shea said. "I have people mad at me now because I didn't invite them."

The sight of empty seats makes for unwanted visuals for the re-election campaign of a president who became known in 2008 for filling arenas. Television reports ran shots of the empty seats, and Republicans seized on a photo a Tribune-Review reporter posted on Twitter. A Republican spokesman e-mailed the photo to reporters beneath another photo of a packed 2008 Obama campaign rally at Mellon Arena.

What he means is that he didn't order enough members to be there.

Don't tell me they were all working.  I'm not buying that excuse for a second.

Not in this terrible Obama economy, for sure!

I just figured that people would be lining up to see him without invites.
