The Price to Pay for Obama Stadium Tickets

Correction: Obama decided to hold the acceptance speech at the huge, outdoor venue so that there won't be an audible chorus of Obama deniers.

If they had it indoors, half the delegates would be screaming for Hillary or McCain.

[seekthetruth]

I can just see it now. Obama is preparing to go on stage at the stadium to give his acceptance speech, and at the Convention center the super delegates lead all the other delegates and vote Hillary into the nominee position. What a sight that would be!

Still can’t find anything on what band will open for obama at Invesco Field at Mile High.

Reminds me of the Hitler Youth.

"“We’re going to ask those 80,000 people in that stadium to march out of there and go with very specific instructions and goals to register millions of new voters,” Mr. Hildebrand told the newspaper."

An altar call for Obama. I bet Obama shows up with a choir dressed in robes and carrying Das Kapital.

[nmh]

Wouldn’t that be a hoot if hardly anyone showed up and he had to spend more money RENTING PEOPLE!!!!

Yes, they rent people and bus them in to make it look good.

How far are they in the red with this thing so far?

Mein Kampf more likely.

"Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" Neil Diamond
I can just imagine it being played at the democrat convention in August.

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group tellin' you and me
It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show

Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Ev'ry ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go,
Half the valley shakes

It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show

[Sermon]

Take my hand in yours,
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know, I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle
Halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies and ev'ryone goes
I say, Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies and ev'ryone goes...

I hope it rains and the stadium crowd looks like one a Florida Marlins game...LOL.

[AmericaUnited]

Most college kids will just take the convention ticket and then blowoff/shirk on the required “work payment”.

[AmericaUnited]

That would be the most incredible thing if there was a monster thunder and lightning storm during Barry's big moment.

[Fresh Wind]

You can be sure Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” will be looking for slackers.

I have prayed for rain at this event almost as longingly as I have prayed for salvation.. :)

[AmericaUnited]

I’m going to start praying for hail and a touch of brimstone, just to make it more exciting for the TV audience... :)

How about a "freak" August blizzard, complete with a white out

Then even the weather can be called racist.

[aruanan]

With all those vacuum-filled heads present, there ought to be low pressure area to rival anything found in nature.

[AmericaUnited]

Hey it's possible. I was once in a 2-3” snow storm late August in Colorado Springs.
