A Stage the Size of HIS Ego

The Obama campaign has decided to have the last day of the convention at an outdoor arena to allow for more spectators. Precious just has to have more exposure. And more adoring followers fans is exactly what Precious will get. Yes Hims Will.

Obama To Accept Nomination At Invesco Field

On Thursday, August 28, Barack Obama plans to accept his nomination at Invesco Field in Denver, rather than at the Pepsi Center.

It’s going to cost the convention committee a lot of money to make the move, but Invesco Field can handle more than 75,000 spectators and will make a much better picture.

An unnamed source close to the campaign (and we all know how reliable they can be) said that Messiah Barack got all snitty because so many PUMAs were demanding that Hillary’s name be placed into nomination.

He demanded that if “she” had anything to do with the convention he wouldn’t even “do it” unless he could go somewhere else and be recognized. Something large enough for his massive ego.

And since the Great Wall of China wasn’t available, his snobness settled on Invesco Field.

As I inferred, you can’t exactly count on the reliability of unnamed sources. But in this case I just might.

by the time he get’s there it will be an audience of ONE :D

Comment by Obama's gums look sick | 2008-07-07 20:12:11

75,000 still ain’t 17 million. (Go Hillary!)

And they will be the exact same demographics: Yuppies and AA’s

Obama has not moved past his very limited base. You know, the one that let him win all the inconsequential red states.

McCain is right. The only poll that matters is held on election day. In the privacy of the voting booth. Not in the glare of hyped up publicity and thuggery.

Thinking that African Americans and red states were inconsequential is why Hillary lost. McWar will not be as bigoted as you lot but he will still lose.

you do realize the Republicans and BO’s “Democrat for a day” gamed the caucus system which was ripe, ripe, ripe for cheating.

BHO on 5 Apr 04 – Don’t Bring the Troops Home
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kFrFIFizkU

See?! He may have stated in the past that he has a plan to bring the troops home but he’s not gonna. He has NEVER really had any plans to bring them home. He will keep us stuck there longer than McCain ever will. And why? Simple really. He’s not smart enough nor does he have the experience to figure out how to bring ‘em home and his ego won’t allow him to listen to anyone with REAL ideas and advice.

I still don’t know how Obama got where he is so fast. If that doesn’t concern you as a voter, you have more problems than just being a troll.

Comment by Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright | 2008-07-08 08:11:31

Obama got where he is so fast because he was manufactured.

Its just like American Idol.

While most musicians struggle and grind to get their break and then build a career based on their body of work and life lessons, obama was manufactured, hoisted up in front of the public, gave his speeches, and the judges Simon Chris Mathews, Paula Keith Oberman, and Randy Anderson Cooper, told the public how dreamy he was day in and day out and what a great singer he was and then weekly everyone voted in the caucuses and primaries for him.

Especially in caucus states where they love a voting system like american idol, where you have two hours to vote as many times as you can. Just keep callng and voting over and over and then amazingly it looks like a LOT of americans actually cared.

Ofcourse a lot of this also depended on the judges reminding the voters how terrible Hillary was every day too.

 
 
 
 

Comment by Jack | 2008-07-07 20:35:55

Pagan,

Obama did not need a PUMA or Hillary position for this, he would do the stadium any way.

The pundits say he is following JFK who did this in 1960 in the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium.

Big difference. I imagine JFK looked good in that historical setting and beautiful structure. The Denver field is just a garden variety pro football stadium.

Comment by fooj | 2008-07-07 20:49:56

Since when does someone who has the resume the size of a gnat get to liken himself to JFK?

It’s absolutely ridiculous. He will NEVER be anything other than a pathetic thug whose behavior mirrors that of a spoiled child.

Give me a break.

Comment by moi61537 | 2008-07-07 21:29:55

This seems more like the Nuremburg Rally. Chilling.

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-07-07 22:28:41

EXACTLY — my reaction — but I couldn’t remember where that fascist rally took place.

Thank you for naming the location!!

Comment by DAB | 2008-07-08 07:54:25

I just read that during his European trip Obama is likely to give a major speech in Berlin. Shades of Ronald Reagan (and another even more evil historical figure). Guess that JFK gig in Denver isn’t enough for one ego — he needs to cover all the bases in typical BO fashion.

My view entirely. And equally reminscent is the uncritical and highly emotional response of, well, one can only call them Obama’s “fans”. The absence of rational content in all aspects of the Obama phenomenon is equally chilling. Personality cults and democracy should not go together.

Comment by IndayHill | 2008-07-08 12:14:07

Exactly!
This is NOT a popularity contest. This is about America, which deserves the BEST to govern the country of the people, for the people and by the people. It is not for Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.(his parents gave this name to him, why be ashamed about it?)to rule as a dictator.BHO has displayed numerous “red flags” for us to take notice. WAKE-UP, PEOPLE!
GOD SAVE AMERICA!!

Comment by mummy smurf | 2008-07-07 22:02:52

Saying Obama is having a Nuremburg rally is not offensive? Calling you out for bigotry for saying it is? Great logic.

 
 

Comment by J. J.. | 2008-07-07 22:04:50

Kennedy had 14 years in Congress when he was elected. He was a candidate for Vice President 4 years before. He also spent part of World War II in combat.

But even he was relatively inexperienced and botched things up bad right after taking office with the Bay of Pigs. He later met Kruchev in Vienna, Kruchev decided he was a pushover, and started putting missles into Cuba. That led directly to the Cuban Missle Crises.

Comparing Obama to Kennedy is an insult to both of them.

 

Comment by Bonita | 2008-07-07 22:06:26

Oviously you don’t know your history. Look up JFK and his resume and get back to us.

I think in his mind that qualifies him as a Kennedy.

the denver convention committee is already having trouble with money and therefore logistics. the black national anthem was just sung there instead of the Us national anthem, to great dismay of coloradans.

i bet its not done because of money, unless obama pays for it. then it will be so damn obvious he bought his nomination.

sore winner and sore loser. either way the US is fucked with obama.

djia — who is going to pay for this? I heard that the Democratic Party is holding back because they don’t have the funds to cover this. I think Obama is a very sick man–who can’t even stand to be in the same room with any competitor. Investco Field is also a security nightmare so I doubt the Secret Service will allow this to happen.

Comment by missE | 2008-07-07 19:57:17

This is how Wonkette described the event today:

The Obama campaign has sent its latest self-important “Big Announcement” email, and it’s funny! He will not be giving his empty-rhetoric convention speech in some smoky back room with George Soros and Scrooge McDuck as his only audience, which is customary. He will hold it outdoors, for everyone to attend, but only if they turn off their Xboxes first: “Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.” But what if it rained on his parade, as they say? Or what if no one showed up, since the speech will be on the teevee and no one gives a shit anyway? Answer: book the Decemberists. Oh and also, if you give this clown more money he might let you, uh, watch him speak from a decent vantage point or what have you.

Comment by osbama | 2008-07-07 19:58:37

Thanks to the MSM, not too many people are noticing that the war is almost over. Al-Qaeda is on the run in the last city they held – they have been beaten everywhere else. In the south the Mahdi army evaporated once attacked by the new Iraqi army. There is progress on the political front. The people of Iraq
have risen up and rejected both Al-Qaeda and Mahdi. US and Iraq are in negotiations for a post war security agreement and a scheduled withdraw. By the time Obama gets his ass over there he will look like a clown.

Comment by Hadrian | 2008-07-07 20:04:04

Last Nov, Maliki went before the UN Security Council to ensure that the UN resolution authorizing coalition forces in Iraq would expire in Nov 2008. Maliki said at that time that would be the last time he would need to go before the UN Security Council. That means in Nov 2008, the foreign occupation of Iraq officially ends and Iraq gains full sovereignty over its soil

The US and Iraq are close to finalizing negotiations of a joint security agreement that puts remaining coalition forces in Iraq under supreme command of the Iraqi military and also sets forth the (for good reason undisclosed) timetable for withdrawal of all foreign troops.

 

Comment by Lou | 2008-07-07 20:32:21

noticing that the war is almost over. Al-Qaeda is on the run in the last city they held – they have been beaten everywhere else

Thanks to McCains plan where he pressured Bush to adopt his plan.

 

Comment by Mary Kay | 2008-07-07 21:16:35

You know though, this is great news. Not because Obama will look like a clown… he does anyway in that empty suit, but that the men and women who have sacrificed their lives and their very youth can finally get the respect they so deserve. Many of us always gave it to them, but many Americans did not.

I never thought we should go into Iraq. I would have rather kept our eye on the Bin Ladin. However, I NEVER was one to disrespect our troops. My husband is a vet and you can’t pick and choose where you go as a soldier or a sailor. I’m sorry. I respect everyone’s right to an opinion but I do believe that disrespecting our military has any value. We may not have always made the right decisions as Americans, but I’ll bet you none of you ever wake up regretting that you live in a free society.

I’m Slovak and Ukrainian. My family escaped communism. While I believe in labor unions and national healthcare, I think there is a definite line between respecting what our country stands for and the neo-conservatism and the neo-liberalism on the left. When we start thinking that government knows more than the voters, then we’re in trouble and yes, that can happen if we swing too far either way.

But I can NEVER imagine him trolling here just to argue pointlessly with Clinton supporters, just for the nasty feeble chubby it brings on…

What do trolls get out of it, really? How pathetic they must be.

I wonder what motivates a troll? I have no desire to visit Huff&Puff or even Taylor Marsh any more.

Who wants to argue with strangers? Weird.

Are they that obsessed with Barky? Do they think he KNOWS what they’re doing …and he’s proud?

I have responded with a rather vicious email to the DNC, telling them what an ass their candidate is and how disgusting and nauseating their agenda is. These dickheads are doing anything they can to try to disguise the protests that will be taking place in the convention and outside, by PUMA members and delegates who will not be swayed. It’s manipulation of the worst kind.

I’ve become increasing disgusted with these filthy dirtbags who are the DNC and the Obama crew. I won’t even begin to talk about their low-life, scum-of-the-earth thug supporters.

These Boots Were Made For Walking Lyrics

You keep saying you’ve got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You’ve been messin’ where you shouldn’t have been a messin’
and now someone else is gettin’ all your best.

These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin’
and you keep losin’ when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin’ when you oughta be changin’.
Now what’s right is right, but you ain’t been right yet.

These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep playin’ where you shouldn’t be playin
and you keep thinkin’ that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain’t HAD time to learn.

Are you ready boots? Start walkin’!

On August 28, 2008, the delegates and super delegates of the Democrat Party will be in attendance at the Pepsi Center in Denver where they will cast their votes to select their party’s candidate for President. Over the shoulder of those delegates will be 76,000 gangsters ready to RIOT, if the unqualified one is not the nominee.

To assure that he receives the Democrat nomination, Barack Obama is going to have 76,000 gangsters at Invesco Field, the Denver football stadium, where they will be close enough to hold hostage the delegates attending the Democrat National Convention. Using the many strong arm tactics of his New Chicago form of politics, including fear, Obama is forcing his way into the White House.

Comment by Zee | 2008-07-07 23:43:21

It’s free….there is no cost for tickets.

Even the tickets are a sham, in order to get your name on a fundraising list where they beg for money.

After Unity, NH, I tried to “unsubscribe” from the list but they are STILL sending me begging letters.

Comment by Chad S | 2008-07-07 21:01:56

The problem is that in this world, there’s no way something that big could exist without coming out. There are literally thousands of reporters, oppo researchers, bloggers and political operatives who would find it and release it before the people who intended it to. At the very least, there would be secondary evidence of the event and reports of the incident floating out there. Complicating this story is that Larry claims that multiple sources independent of each other are sitting on it, thats logically impossible.

There has been absolutely zero secondary evidence of this that anyone can find. Much less any evidence of the tape at all, besides Larry’s claims.

Jake Tapper reports that Invesco Field’s nickname is
“The Diaphragm”

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/

The stadium has a rather bizarre nickname. In 2001, the chief executive of Invesco Funds Group threatened to sue the Denver Post after columnist Woody Paige reported that one “key executive” said the stadium was internally at the company called “the Diaphragm,” because of the belief at Invesco Funds that the park resembles a birth control device. Invesco exec Mark Williamson eventually took back the threat after he discovered the nickname was true.

Lanny Davis is on Hannity and Colmes talking to Allan about the Hill Raisers not supporting for Obama. He’s saying he supports Obama enthusiastically. Saying he has been a gentlemen to Clinton and impressed with how he’s reached out to Clinton supporters.

Comment by mummy smurf | 2008-07-07 21:47:20

How about Hillary and her speech comment, or MLK did not matter white people did the legislation. Hillary should have said sorry to the Party. The fact is Obama forgave her. She is working for him to win and the Democrats will win.

Comment by josgirl | 2008-07-07 22:12:12

She didn’t say that.
LBJ did pass the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
With MLK standing over his shoulder.
Just like MLK demanded the government to do in his “I Have A Dream” speech.
Hard-working white people were voting for her.
As opposed to latte-sipping white people.
Even after BHO proclaimed himself the winner.

Please do tell us why Obama has never walked in a gay-pride parade, and even skipped Chicago’s June 29 gay parade in order to shoot hoops and get a haircut, and why Gavin Newsom himself, actually he was 5 ft away from me when he told an audience this story – said that one of the candidates wouldn’t take a photo with him after the city hall marriages – that candidate was Barack Obama.

“There were a couple hundred empty seats, even though Obama’s staff says all 1,000 tickets were given out in just two hours Saturday. Apparently, some people who got tickets Saturday didn’t show up Monday.

A member of Obama’s staff tells NBC Action News they didn’t want to overbook and have to turn people away.

And this was a much quieter crowd than at previous Obama events. “It was very quiet in there at one point, I felt like I was in church almost, right before he came out,” Raytown resident Gina Harvey said.

The quieter atmosphere may have also been because this was considered a more serious speech, not just a big campaign rally. There were no political
leaders who came out to whip up the crowed before Obama started speaking.”

Your comment sounds like a tactic to “Minimize and marginalize”. Kind of like the whole patter of the BO supporters to discredit Hillary and her supporters through the primaries. Do you get training in this?

I still cannot understand what his big event is for. I guess having 21,000 in attendance is not as impressive as having 75,000. I wonder what Obama will do if he happens to win the GE, would we then rent an island somewhere for him to have his swearing event as President?

Is this is Obama’s attitude, rather than finding ways to fix the problems of this country he is off thinking up ways of having the biggest bash he could think of, what a load of wasted money. Is that how Obama is going to run this country? Everything has to be grand spend, spend, spend all for the sake of image, while people are losing their homes, gas and food prices raising.

This total abuse of just throwing away money to give Obama his fix is disgusting, and to think the DNC is going to write people to donate money for this crap, there was nothing wrong with the convention center so what is this big importance in having Obama center stage on a dam football field?

I really don’t know how anyone who is facing the daily financial headaches of everyday living can even think of accepting this kind of crap from Obama and the DNC, I guess its still the old ways of tax my butt daily, and let government spend, some change Obama is bringing all I am seeing is big government spending once again if Obama wins.

Comment by andySF | 2008-07-07 21:59:47

Yeah right!

Read this if you care about the truth(most likely NOT).

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0707byrnejul07,0,2090442.story

So, whom do lobbyists represent? Special interests—various industries and associations wanting something from government. Here, from the Center’s OpenSecrets.org, are some of the industries that have given Obama money: lawyers, $17.8 million; securities and investments, $7.9 million; education, $7 million; real estate, business services, miscellaneous businesses, health professionals and TV/movies/music, more than $4 million each. Computers/Internet, finance, civil servants and public officials, printing and publishing, commercial banks, hospitals and nursing homes, construction services, all ranging from almost $1 million to more than $3 million
Biggest donors? Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, National Amusements, Lehman Brothers, Google, Sidley Austin, Skadden Arps, Time Warner, Morgan Stanley, Exelon, Latham & Watkins, Microsoft and GE are among the biggest corporate contributors.

How can this be? Didn’t Obama say he doesn’t accept money from lobbyists and PACs? Well, that means he still can accept money from “spouses of lobbyists, non-lobbying partners who work for lobbying firms or for law firms that do lobbying, ex-lobbyists and state lobbyists,” said the Center. “Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization’s members or employees [and their families].”

Obama said he now eschews public financing because the devil (McCain and the GOP) made him do it; Obama supposedly is at a disadvantage because they are “fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special-interest PACs.”

To which FactCheck.org replied: “We find that to be a large exaggeration and a lame excuse. In fact, donations from PACs and lobbyists make up less than 1.7 percent of McCain’s total receipts, and they account for only about 1.1 percent of the [Republican National Committee’s] receipts.”

Here’s a final word from FactCheck: “[T]he Democratic National Committee has historically been far more reliant on PAC and lobbyist money than the RNC. In 2004, PACs provided about 10 percent of the DNC’s total fundraising and only about 1 percent of the RNC’s total.

Small donor indeed. Don’t you ever get tired from twisting everything just so taht your ly don’t get caught?

Saudi Arabia, China ect http://groups.google.com/group/rec.martial-arts/msg/7e603b4929b2d98c

Obama’s internet campaign started out innocently enough with basic e-mail
networking , lists saved from previous party campaigns and from supporters
who visited any of the Obama campaign web sites.

Small contributions came in from these sources and the internet campaign
staff were more than pleased by the results.

Then, about two months into the campaign the daily contribution intake
multiplied. Where was it coming from? One of the web site security
monitors began to notice the bulk of the contributions were clearly coming
in from overseas internet service providers and at the rate and frequency of
transmission it was clear these donations were “programmed” by a very
sophisticated user.

While the security people were not able to track most of the sources due
to firewalls and other blocking devices put on these contributions they were
able to collate the number of contributions that were coming in seemingly
from individuals but the funds were from only a few credit card accounts and
bank electronic funds transfers. The internet service providers (ISP) they
were able to trace were from Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other Middle Eastern
countries. One of the banks used for fund transfers was also located in
Saudi Arabia.

Another concentrated group of donations was traced to a Chinese ISP with a
similar pattern of limited credit card charges.

I don’t know where the money is coming from but I would think if you are running for POTUS and under the present time where daily people are crying about how hard it is to make two ends meet, any candidate would take that into consideration and try and at least give the impression that they are concerned.

Throwing the biggest bash to impress god alone knows sure is not going to stop a man from losing this home, bring down the price of food or gas, send anyone to college all it is doing is showing in your face attitudes as I am going to spend what I want for my personal glorification and to hell with who thinks other wise.

That sure does not look to me as a man capable or fit to be president of this nation especially not at this time when everyone is feeling the pinch.

And how about the DNC ‘going green’
for the convention. No fried foods, no individual water bottles, bio-degradable dinner-ware, etc. (I hear they’re having a little trouble finding caterers, heh heh. )
Anyway, Obama announced the use of Invesco Field
for his speech. This gives rise to some questions, i.e.
Concession stands at Invesco.
Anyone whose been to a football or baseball game knows these are NOT ‘green’.
Burgers, fries, burritos, sodas and beers in plastic cups. Are they planning on not having the stands open for 75,000 people? If that’s the case,
What about the workers denied the opportunity to make some cash because the stands are closed for this event? That’s a good move for the economy.
Are the concession workers unionized?
How will they feel about no work?
Just think of the trash left in the stadium and the clean-up after a Rockies’ game (which is only 20-25,000 fans) and imagine what it will look like after 75,000 people are there.
The trash will be enormous, plastic cups, bottles, all kinds of non bio-degradable stuff going into plastic bags and straight to a landfill.
Hah!! Goin’ Green!!
NOT!!!

This is like breaking up with 18 million psychotic girlfriends all at the same time, including Larry, who’s not handling sudden irrelevancy well.

By all means, stay down with the struggle. Bake Hillary-shaped pastries, boycott the makers of Obama’s bicycle helmet, place prank phone calls to his grandmother in Kenya, and refuse to use the letter “O” in all conversations and correspondence until Howard Dean admits to doping Hillary’s Evian Water with roofies so that she would run a hare-brained campaign, lose the nomination and become his helpless booty-slave.

Together, your victimhood will be a beacon to the world, and the scourge of those sweaty, bare-chested men on the Rules Committee who ravished and violated you. Plus, you get cool cat T-shirts and the mental fantasy of being the heroine in one of those Lifetime Channel revenge movies.

If Liberty weren’t a statue, she’d slap that smug smirk off your face you brownshirt wannabe. A lot of us have died overseas fighting for your right to become one of those we had to kill over there.

Thank you for your service.

Now, WTF are you talking about?

Comment by Steven Mather | 2008-07-07 23:40:16

Your uncivil, anti-progressive prattle, your post-dialogic, drive-by methodology, and your self-obsessed, drunken college yob attitude toward the primary, to name a few things I garnered from your two posts, RDL.

wow, the sexism continues from Obamaland.

Comment by Steven Mather | 2008-07-07 22:40:53

Probably a Republican troll. Obamabots are lightening up on the sexism.

Comment by Amalia | 2008-07-07 23:10:59

sounds like an Obama person to me. and, they only seem to be
lightening up on the sexism when it comes to all the sexism
that poor Michelle has endured, re their bible, the Chicago tribune.
what a crock.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-07 23:26:04

yeah I don’t see any lightening up of sexism. I think its because they have to focus on threatening and fearmongering. Its hard for bots to focus on a couple things at a time.

I agree. probably Republican troll stirring the pot…as PUMAs, we’re angry enough.

 

Comment by RunningDogLackey | 2008-07-07 23:33:05

Yeah, that must be it. I couldn’t possibly be a lifelong lefty who just doesn’t get what all the grief is about. The Hillary Clinton I remember is Bill Clinton’s crooked wife, whose resume isn’t that much thicker than Obama’s. She’s a master manipulator who should have taken the nomination in a cakewalk, but screwed up, tried to cheat the system and lost.

Obama is also a crook. But for some reason, she’s a saint (because she lost) and he’s a goat (because he didn’t). I watched the primaries closely, and I think all the talk of racism and misogyny is a crock. Both candidates slugged it out below the belt, and Hillary betrayed the party by siding with McCain, so tough noogies.

PUMAs talk “principle,” but they act like a bunch of jilted prom-dates who want to dress up like Xena the Warrior Princess and shout to the heavens that their virtue was stolen by the DNC. They’re about group therapy, not useful political action.

It’s just not productive, considering that John McCain is a deranged madman, and it would be nice to keep him out of the White House. But that doesn’t matter to the PUMAs, because they’ve been “hurt” and “dissed” and they believe Obama flipped Hillary a “bird.”

You can understand my frustration.

Comment by Steven Mather | 2008-07-07 23:57:02

Our firing squads are held in an inward facing circle, admittedly. I, also, saw Bill as a centrist Democrat, and I am not centrist.

Notwithstanding, the sexism in this campaign (media much more than Obama campaign) drew me away from Nader and towards decency for Clinton and Clinton supporters. The race-baiting (Obama campaign and media following up) put it over the top.

I’ve seen time lines of declared negativity from both camps. I believe the Obama campaign started the scorched earth policy we underwent. You probably believe it was started by the Clintons. No matter. We are reaping its fruits. We best leave each other alone, if we want any chance at healing because neither of us has anything good to say to each other at this time. Picking at scabs only works if we want more pronounced scarring.

so move to Canada where everyone is pure.

I hope you can understand my frustration – my misogyny/sexism-radar just reared its head as you spoke – and most of what you said brought back memories of the way the press treated Clinton, with the kind of double-standards they would never use against a male candidate.

intimating that we’re hysterical, over-emotional “prom-dates” and deluded, vengeful Warrior Princesses, meanwhile, you seem to know the motives of Clinton, and even the secret motives behind the motives and indeed the uber motives of all of her actions.

Good stuff. Sexist, indeed. Therapy is something you need.

Do you really think the PUMAs are just women – or do you mean to impugn the men in this movement by reducing them to feminine pejoratives? You really underestimate our diversity.

I hope a lot of PUMA’s show up for the speech in Denver so that the event is not a love fest, but rather an accurate representation of the divisions within the Democratic Party this year.

 

Comment by catherine | 2008-07-07 22:19:14

Obama is disgusting. Let him rent out the biggest football stadium in America for his ego. It will not change the fact that he is an arrogant fraud. The fact that he would even consider his opponent Hillary Clinton not being recognized on the first ballot (even though she received 18 million votes, won the popular vote in the primaries and the electoral vote) at the convention is evidence of his deep insecurity and arrogance- something that typically goes along big time with incompetence and insecurity. Americans need a basic course in Psych 101. They might wake up and see what many of us PUMAS see as obvious flaws in personality and character.

 

Comment by We Will Remember in November! | 2008-07-07 22:19:29

I think it is as good of an idea as Obama’s now defunct faux presidential seal. The america people will be turned off by such a arrogant show. It is gaudily, tawdry display of NO CLass. By the time late August rolls around gas will be around $5 a gallon and even McDonald’s will be cutting back…that big fat party for Obama’s ego will not set well when parents can’t even take their kids to McDonald’s anymore. Good luck with that your “oneness.”

BTW, My son is not using “The Barack” in place of the “the one.” For example, he says you are not the Barack or that is the barack that I want. It is hilarious try it. Tell your significant other he/she is the barack. HA,HA.

Hey, as a diehard PUMA I want to say that the racist or threatening posts are way way out of bounds!!!

How very…..Hitlerian.

What is he hoping to get out of such an unseemly, expensive display? A few campaign commercials?

 

Comment by Michelle | 2008-07-07 23:37:04

Folks – Obama is doing this because the DNC Convention is BROKE – they have no money. So what are they going to do? Sell tickets to his stupid speech to pay for the convention. This – by the way – was one of those “not discussed” facts of his campaign – he CHARGED $10 per person for a whole bunch of his rallies.

You know – the Democrats wouldn’t have to do this, if they had been smart and nominated Hillary! I would be happy to be donating to the convention, if she were the nominee. But as it is – I don’t EVER want to contribute a dime to the Democratic again (btw – I have been a Democratic donor since 1992).

No HRC – No democracy – No Deal!

He’s broke so he’s renting out a stadium?

Your radar detects what it’s tuned to see, and nothing else.

So does mine, I’m sure.

I’ll take your word that there are male PUMAs.

Sorry you find feminine descriptions pejorative. You should ask yourself why.

 
 

Comment by samb | 2008-07-08 01:25:30

I could not believe that this person would think that he is so god like that he should have a stadium all for himself, the ego, and if what he would say was so inspiring, this guy thinks he is the second coming.

 

Comment by Anonymous | 2008-07-08 02:26:17

Ironically, this decision by Obama will have a severe psychological impact on his supporters. For a couple of weeks now, Obama has been having trouble filling venues where he is speaking. His support is flagging…badly. With such a large setting, it’s going to look horrible is few people show up…..especially if he is heckled. Something I think is overwhelmingly likely.

but he does have 300 million dollars of special interest cash money that he can use to pay people to show up…

2008 Final Primary Results: Hillary Clinton = 17,802,300 votes. Barack Obama = 17,501,751 votes. Winner selected by the DNC and its superdelegates? Barack Obama! Thanks for the new math, Chairman Dean. It’s change we can believe in!

I am writing as a former Hillary staffer. We are asking all blogs and people writing on them to join one group. We are attempting to send letters and what not to one solid group of people and flood the superdelegates with letters. Unfortunately, we are not having much luck with this unity thing. Let’s get the ball rolling. We need 175 Super’s at the convention to vote for Hillary and in order to do that we need the power of numbers. Let’s get started, and bring all of these blogs together.

Here is the site to find supers:

It’s insane that Obama wants to give that presumptuous speech at a football stadium!

Yes, we all know how that will appear:

Comment by DAB | 2008-07-08 08:05:09

When I first heard this, my first reaction was that BO wanted to blunt any PUMA protester impact in Denver with his own minions. You know, safety in numbers.

Would also be interested to know if the stadium has to be rented or if it is free? With the DNCs budget stretched right now and Obama begging for funds from cash-strapped supporters, is this absolutely necessary?

Call me mean, but I’m hoping for a snowstorm on that night (could happen in Denver) to shut that possibility down so he can’t exhibit yet another example of the Audacity of Audacity.

 

Comment by DancingOpossum | 2008-07-08 08:14:41

This is yet another in the long, long, line of similarities between Obama and Dubya! Remember the Chimpster prancing around in his padded flight suit pretending to fly a plane and his big “Missiona Accomplished” soundstage? Remember him standing in the rubble of 9/11 (after conveniently not showing up until days later when it was safe), screaming threats into a bullhorn? Or my personal favorite, parading down the streets of post-Katrina New Orleans with a group of firefighters who were not actually there to fight fires but solely to perform photo ops? Ahhhh yes, all the sweet memories come rushing back…

Obama is amazingly similar. Like Dubya, he clings to stage props and costumes to hide the utter vacuousness of his thinking and the emptiness of his actions. Big productions instead of big (or any) ideas. Rallies and fist-pumps instead of hard work and analysis. They are both insecure about their lack of accomplishments and they hide it under a bullying veneer. They know everyone in the room outsmarts and outclasses them in every way, and their response is to belittle and trivialize (Dubya with his nicknames and his unwanted familiarity, Obama with his “sweetie” and dismissiveness). Jeebus. I CANNOT do another four years of a Dubya in the White House!!

“[million man march] he was only there as an observer, not a participant. (That has always been a personal favorite about how he gets to have things both ways.”

Kind of like Bill Clinton and smoking but not inhaling weed don’t ya think?

“Denver? Denver’s a place one has to touch down in if you don’t get a non-stop to L.A.”

Yep, and Obama is supported by elitists that don’t like people in “real” america…

“shake your keys”
“wave waffles”
“turn your back on him”
“Seed the clouds, cut the power”

yep, Obama supporters are the childish immature ones!

“…. as funny as a bombe scare, lol”
“Rumble at the convention, do we bring our guns and knives”

INDEED!!!

HA HA HA!!!

 

Comment by Theresa | 2008-07-08 09:13:24

The arrogance of this man is amazing. Even more amazing is that he seems to be in charge of the DNC instead of the people. I thought he was just a candidate, not the all powerful, but once again, I was wrong. This isn’t just about money, it’s about showing us all who has the power, which should belong to the DNC and the people, not Obama. The Denver Mayor only mentions the FBI and Secret Service as approving the move. Hmmm…last time I checked they don’t have anywhere near the manpower to handle all the venues being used for the DNC without a great deal of assistance from other law enforcement entities from around the nation. It’s absolutely ridiculous and another slap in the face. He wants us to believe it’s all about including more people but that’s far from the truth! So much for unity! What a joke.

 

Comment by Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright | 2008-07-08 09:49:48

The reason they want to have a large venue is to give the impression that there is massive support for him. By getting the talking heads on MSNBC and Huffington Post to talk about THE BIG CROWDS, they can divert attention from all the other pesky little details about how the convention is a fraud, the candidate is a fake, and the party is in shambles.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-08 09:51:22

I agree, its propaganda and diversion.

There is still hope between now and august that one will rid humanity of this embarassment.

If “the Messiah” was really *that* smart, he would have rescheduled the dates to be post the RNC convention as he was rescheduling his venue.

But “the Messiah” isn’t into strategic analytic thinking….

NOBAMA! Not now – Not ever.

BHO wanted to give his “acceptance speech” (partially copied from MLK)on the last day of the convention to coincide with MLK’s anniversary of his famous speech, “I Have A Dream”.
BHO likes to copy and he has NO IDEA of his own.He even copied the rapper JayZ’s lyrics and he said he likes the gangsta style.He even copied Hitler’s venue set-up of the famous rally at Nuremberg (sp).
BHO is the wannabe copier president. America does not need him in the WH.
