CHARLOTTE -- The first difference I've spotted between this convention and the RNC is the ready availability of candidate kitsch. Real passion eludes Mitt Romney. He's like the median presidential candidate -- his base will vote for him, but not venerate him.
But the Cult of Obama staggers on. North Carolina is 21.5 percent black; Charlotte, 35 percent. In 2008, Obama won North Carolina by a scant 14,000 votes. He carried Mecklenberg County -- Charlotte and suburbs -- by 100,000. (That was up from a 12,000-vote margin here for the Kerry-Edwards ticket.) My plane into the city was chock-a-block with black delegates, and the streets near the convention zone are dotted with vendors selling for-us-by-us Obama merch. Below is James Hickman's "Keep the Dream" calendar, which I was offered by a man who identified himself as the maker's nephew and gave his name as "Red Storm."

The guy is a loon. I thought the gay look with the dog was a bit much but the birth certificate shot takes the cake.

“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”
I know there are a ton, but I think that is the least Presidential picture that I have ever seen from ANY president. That is completely atrocious. Why the dog? Couldn’t he stand somewhat at attention next to Lincoln?
“Why the dog?”
That’s no dog that’s the media.
Is that dog on Obama’s lunch menu?
Ah, beat me to it, and yours is much more clever than my comment.
Good one!
Obama is just holding his lunch.
