A Little Rain, Then and Now
As noted earlier, moving Comrade Obama’s big speech was about avoiding empty seats, not about “severe weather.” Via Breitbart:
Yesterday, the Obama campaign repeatedly stressed that their decision to move Obama’s acceptance speech out of Bank of America stadium had nothing to do with fears that they couldn’t fill the 75,000 seat venue. They had more than enough supporters to fill the stadium, they claimed, but were very concerned about the possibility of rain or, even, lightening. Yesterday, there was a 30% chance of rain in Charlotte. Of course, there was also a 30% chance of rain when they announced the move to the outdoor Invesco Field in Denver in 2008.
Back in the Styrofoam Greek column days, the Man Who Could Control the Rising of the Seas didn’t worry about a chance of rain:
Planners of the Democratic National Convention … said presidential candidate Barack Obama will deliver his nomination-acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High come rain or shine.
If the weather got bad, Dems were prepared to let the audience sit around in the rain until the clouds parted and the Moonbat Messiah could ascend to the stage.
Then again, given the way Democrats have been thumbing their nose at God, maybe they really have developed a terror of lightning strikes.
On a tip from The MaryHunter.
Fear, something that damndemocrats “fear” (heh, heh, heh).
Be afraid, be very afraid.
(So afraid, in fact, that those magnanimous specimens of humanity, otherwise known as the democraps-I mean, democrats, have permitted not only God, but Israel, to grace their platform, once again.)
they’re ingenuously out there ‘apologising’ to all the unfortunate folks who won’t be able to get into the phone booth with Obysmal.
Rain? Isn’t that the name of the unshaven hippie broad who will be leading the kum-bay-yah in the closing drum circle?
A little something for ya…
Obama: The Wannabe Authoritarian
“Authoritarianism is a form of social organization characterized by submission to authority as well as the administration of said authority. It is usually opposed to individualism and libertarianism.”
Authoritarianism is characterized by (obama and his cronies are guilty of all of these things):
• Highly concentrated and centralized power maintained by political repression and the exclusion of potential challengers (recent examples of this: Democratic leaders are pressured to not speak bad about Obama’s performance as president, if they do, they will change their opinion shortly thereafter, ex. Maryland’s Democratic governor, Martin O’Malley).
• It uses political parties and mass organizations to mobilize people around the goals of the regime (ACORN, NAACP, mainstream media, SEIU, the fake war on women, illegal immigrants).
• Authoritarianism emphasizes arbitrary law rather than the rule of law (Holder’s selectivity in enforcing the rule of law, i.e. no accountability in operation fast and furious). Holder is the first sitting member of the Cabinet of the United States to be held in Contempt of Congress by the House of Representatives, for withholding documents related to the ATF gunwalking scandal.
• It often includes election rigging (two instances of voter fraud occurred this week alone by people associated with the Democratic Party). Obama and his cronies are against voter ID laws since that would curtail voting fraud, which would of course provide for less Democratic votes. Obama is also attempting to prevent members of the Armed Forces from voting since they will vote largely Republican. Obama is also providing mass amnesty for illegal aliens since they will likely vote for him.
• Political decisions being made by a select group of officials behind closed doors (no transparency from obama, his enablers, pelosi, and Reid in their decision making). Obama and particularly pelosi said in the past that this administration would be the most transparent in history. That was a total lie.
• A bureaucracy that sometimes operates independently of rules, which does not properly supervise elected officials (i.e. going around congress, executive privilege).
• Fails to serve the concerns of the constituencies they purportedly serve (high unemployment, high debt, no accountability, wasteful spending, lowered standards of living, giving large amounts of money to known terrorist regimes, stifling energy production, etc ad nauseum).
• Authoritarianism also tends to embrace the informal and unregulated exercise of political power, a leadership that is “self-appointed and even if elected cannot be displaced by citizens’ free choice among competitors”, i.e. obama’s czars.
• The unreasonable deprivation of civil liberties (obama is against the Constitution as proven by NDAA 2012, HR 347, the individual mandate in obamacare, taxpayer-funded elective abortions and contraceptives that go against ones religious beliefs, supporting the overturning of Citizens United v FEC, the Executive Order — National Defense Resources Preparedness, the use of Operation Fast and Furious to make the case against and to destroy the 2nd Amendment, the unlawful intrusion of personal privacy by the FBI, CIA, and NSA, etc ad nauseum).
• Little tolerance for meaningful opposition (obama uses the law and malicious left-wing federal agencies (the EPA is a common one) to attack and destroy those who do not support him or his evil agenda).
• A range of social controls also attempt to stifle civil society (example: the uninterrupted and ongoing gang violence in Chicago, and Detroit is used to control populations and keep them in constant fear by creating a “justified” police state coupled with a sense that without a larger government there would be total chaos. Additionally, the intentional increase in unemployment by the obama regime allows for ever growing societal control by increasing individuals’ dependence on welfare and government. Also, the widespread overuse of mind-altering prescription medications).
• A bureaucracy staffed by the regime (obama selects his staff, where the more radicalized they are the better, and appointing radical Supreme Court Justices).
• Creation of allegiance through various means of socialization and indoctrination (example: indoctrination occurs regularly in public schools and in our lives, i.e. teaching kids about sex and promiscuity at very young ages, teaching kids to accept depraved and dangerous lifestyles, teaching kids about global warming and how without more government and increased taxes the world will be destroyed by man, removing the pledge of allegiance from the classroom, widespread hiring of pedophilic teachers, the use of mainstream media to spread sinister lies and radical propaganda, the constant promotion of abortions, the fake war on women, demonizing opposing viewpoints, removing God from our lives and replacing it with government, etc… ad nauseum).
• Authoritarianism is marked by “indefinite political tenure” of the ruler or ruling party (often in a single-party state) or other authority (example: the appointment of radicalized left-wing Supreme Court justices).
Authoritarian political systems may be weakened through “inadequate performance to demands of the people.” The tendency to respond to challenges to authoritarianism through tighter control instead of adaptation is a significant weakness, and that this overly rigid approach fails to “adapt to changes or to accommodate growing demands on the part of the populace or even groups within the system.” Because the legitimacy of the state is dependent on performance, authoritarian states that fail to adapt may collapse. The obama regime WILL fall because of this.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, other notable authoritarian states include Armenia, North Korea, Chad, Iran, Burma, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, and Burkina Faso.

or according to Patrick Cleburne, it could be because they are rascists.
If Barry is worried about not filling a huge stadium, why did he not ask one of his Hollywood buddies (like George Lucas) to just use some CGI and have that stadium filled up. I know George would want to fill it up with Jawas or Storm Troopers and various aliens but it would look kinda cool. But of course every few years George would want to re edit it or add some more effects and just ruin it. Then of course re release it in 3D “BARF”
That is one SWEATY SOB!
Here’s a thought: have Squaw Elizabeth Warren do a rain dance. Obama will save face ’cause it rained, and the Squaw will gain Indian status ’cause she made it rain. Naturally someone should make sure the rain dance is done outside ’cause we don’t want it to rain on the big “O’s” speech.
Maybe they moved the speech indoors because they knew they were going to dis God and wanted to avoid the lightening.

Matt – or you could just say Obama is a criminal.
But I thought O could control the weather, after all hasn’t he lowered the ocean levels.
