Obama Moves Acceptance Speech to a Venue So Small He Can Fill It
DNC stage managers are trucking in busloads of moonbats to provide an audience so that Comrade Chairman Obama won’t have to recite the tired lies from his teleprompter to a sea of empty seats:
College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
However, they now acknowledge that their desperate efforts will not suffice:
Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party’s nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing ‘severe weather’. …
Footage of rows of empty seats at the stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, as Obama speaks on Thursday night would be politically disastrous — an enduring image of the contrast between his campaign of ‘hope’ and ‘change’ in 2008 and his dour, negative struggle for re-election in 2012. …
As officials prepare to open the Democratic convention this afternoon, there are strong indications that the speech will be moved to Time Warner Cable Arena, which has a capacity of just over 20,000.
I doubt the forecast is unusual for North Carolina in September. But if Obama qualifies as a president, a 40% chance of rain constitutes “severe weather.”
On tips from AndyPandy, Bob Roberts, J, Mary P, wingmann, and Lyle.
His popularity isn’t diminishing; his appeal is becoming ‘more selective’.
Evolving.
Laser-focused.
Efficient/green.
Doesn’t matter how many of his little “constituents” are bussed in – every seat can be occupied, but they’re still empty as hell.
President Empty Chair seems to have a problem filling not just his own seat but many others as well.
Hopefully, that problem will translate to the polls in November.
Anybody catch the speech that bloody slag wife of his gave last night at the DNC? It was all about his struggles in life to succeed, poor Barry has had it tough, LOL. He is a mufti-millionaire and never had a job in his life. He could write a book about his struggles and just title it My Struggle, of course the German version title would then be Mein Kampf. How appropriate.
Maybe they should just move it to the local Starbucks. It should be busier then whatever venue they end up settling on.
So now TOTUS has become ECIC. Kewl.
Here’s your typical negro Dem congress critter:

What will all those bussed students do to keep busy if they are shut out of the arena? Maybe they can join up with the protesters and make their presence known.
I don’t blame him
Really
A Liberal, dishing out the typical Dem Pinnochio speech outdoors, with even a slight chance of inferring God’s wrath ?
Think about it: an incumbent President with the power of the ENTIRE MAINSTREAM MEDIA behind him, endless TV face-time, a supposed unstoppable ‘social media’ network…and with ALL OF THAT, he’s floundering.
I am now feeling pretty good that the word “landslide” for November will be an understatement.
The chance of rain has now been revised: 20% chance. Far greater than the chance of Barry’s reelection.
Regressive logic:
Small audiences GOOD! Small government BAD!
.
Wasn’t there some rain at his last acceptance speech where he proclaimed: “We won’t let a little rain stop us”?
Libs.. care to comment..?
.
They weren’t worried about filling it, they were worried the cameras would pan the audience….
New DNC video says “government is the only thing we all belong to,” while DNC convention moonbats get warm and fuzzy feeling about their belonging to the government.

Mitt Romney tweets: “We don’t belong to government, the government belongs to us.”
Makes sense the DNC overseers think we belong to the government, rather than vice versa. They sure don’t think we belong to God, having removed, for the first time, all references to God from the 2012 Democrapic Party Platform. The GOP platform mentions God 12 times. A simple comparison to past years’ platforms shows a disparity and the phase out of acknowledgement of God from the Democrapic party platform. In 2008, the Democrats had only one mention (”God-given potential”), but in 2004, God was mentioned seven times.

In place of God, Democraps add specific support for their sacrament of taxpayer-funded late-term abortions, in line with beliefs of their supreme leader, Barack Hussein Obama.

The 2012 Democratic platform does not include the sentence, “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel” – an assertion that was in the 2008 platform and has been featured in past platforms, Democratic and Republican.

Genocidal and self-loathing Jews, however, will undoubtedly bow down and support their Democrapic masters.
Going along with excising any references to God, for the first time in either party’s history, the 2012 Democratic platform calls for the “freedom to marry” and officially opposes federal and state constitutional amendments seeking to ban marriage for same-sex couples, as well as the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed by Bill Clinton.

And, don’t forget gun control: “We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms,” it states.
Not surprisingly, the Democrats’ 2012 platform abandons many of the positions it took on civil liberties just four years ago, when the party was eager to differentiate its nominee from the policies endorsed by President George W. Bush in the fight against al Qaeda. Of course, this keeps open the prospect when Obama gets more “flexibility” if re-elected, to have conservatives and non-Obamanites rounded up.

What won’t be said by any of the liars speaking tonight:
“While Team Obama lambastes GOP rival Mitt Romney for outsourcing, Government Motors is now planning to invest $1 billion over the next five years — not in America, but in Russia. That’s on top of $7 billion total in China, close to $1 billion in Mexico, and $600 million for a shirt sponsorship deal with Manchester United, the British soccer club.
The DNC will put a rank-and-file U.S. autoworker on stage to back up Big Labor’s cheerleading of the deal. Rest assured, this human shield will not tell viewers how Obama and the union bosses colluded to pervert bankruptcy law and shaft some 20,000 nonunion Delphi auto parts workers. The forgotten victims saw their pensions erode by up to 70 percent; their health benefits disappeared. The first lady is radio silent. Obama consigliere Valerie Jarrett ducked questions about the Delphi injustice from The Washington Times here in Charlotte.”

HEY BARRY!
You couldn’t fill that!
Now some will argue, accurately, that Moochelle has given plenty of reasons for some to attack her, but still, let me remind you, in MOST cases, anyway, the wives and other family members should generally be off limits. There are exceptions – I think it was fair to question Nancy Reagan if in fact she really was consulting astrologists, for instance. And Moochelle certainly has opened herself up to criticism with many of her remarks. Though jabs at her obvious lack of good fashion sense have sometimes been a bit over the top, as much so as her outfits…
There I go again!
Bob, while I agree with you on families being off limits, this will play out the same way it did last time.
Michelle Obama went on the campaign trail for her husband, speaking ill of ALL of the Republicans and America in general. She was rightly criticized for it.
Barak Obama openly chastized everyone about keeping families out of politics, and everyone else left Michelle alone.
Sarah Palin enters the race. IMMEDIATELY the Left starts in on her and her family, more specifically HER CHILDREN.
The Right said, “Remember what Obama said about families”.
The Left said “Sarah Palin put herself out there and deserves EVERYTHING she gets”.
Obama has the lowest average job approval rating for a first term president since Jimmy Carter.

What High School gym are they gonna be at?
Its not lightning from a storm theyre worried about.
But lightning of wrath none the less.
2012/2013,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Anyone who believes he moved into an area 1/3 the size because he’s concerned about the weather is delusional. This man has never been concerned about one thing other than himself his entire life. He knows, like anyone with half a brain, the turnout would be miserable in the best of weather conditions. The thrill is gone.
If God doesn’t strike these ……
He’s going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah
That empty chair is going to be Obama’s “Rosebud.”
@Ummah Gummah, you’re right! Remember the photos of him speechifyin’ on through the rain, soaked shirt plastered to him as proof of either his dedication or his idiocy to stay at a microphone in the rain?
