This crap is getting just plain SCARY.... I guess it's "CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!!"?

The Obama campaign announced Monday that he will leave the hall of the Democratic National Convention in Denver and deliver a rock-star-style acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, quadrupling his live audience.
The speech will be on the fourth and final day of the convention, Aug. 28.
Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president, that’s also the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
The move means additional expense for the television networks, where executives are having a conference call Monday to discuss the expense and logistics of moving their cameras and anchors to the new location after months of planning for a finale in the Pepsi Center.
The convention hall has a capacity of 19,000, compared to more than 76,000 at Invesco.

I find it disconcerting that he’s actually considering campaigning in Germany and trying to make presidential speeches overseas prior to his election.
Michael Moore, or Oliver Stone?
My aren’t we full of ourselves..
“Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president,”
Attention Mike Allen:
Obama is actually the first HALFrican-American nominee. I know he threw his white grandma under the bus, but he can’t disown his genetic makeup.
McCain could lease a McDonald’s, and they wouldn’t even have to shut down the drive-thru.
He’s only doing the stadium because he couldn’t book St. Peter’s Square.
Will they be breaking windows out of Jewish owned businesses afterwards?
More like Red Square...
This is nothing compared to the Democratic Underground or Huffington Post, or John Murtha on the floor of Congress.
Invidious statements are the standard course with liberals.
What is so hilarious is Obama actually makes me want to support her as the nominee...
Come on Hillary, let the ashtray's fly!!
“More like Red Square...”
He’s ALREADY got CPUSA members on his staff...
May I just say, that graphic is OUTSTANDING.
Up until now, Obama to me has just been another garden-variety stealth liberal socialist. But with moves like this, in all seriousness, the man is starting to scare me. We’ve avoided cults of personality in this country’s Presidential history, for the most part, and I damn sure don’t want to see us start now. The sheer hubris of this is just mind-blowing.

“The move means additional expense for the television networks, “
Could mean less coverage. The Obama verbal magic does not seem to work over the airwaves as well as it does in person.
Add this to the chaos Code Pink, MoveOn, and Recreate68 are planning, and this could be a massive Charlie Foxtrot.
