Obama camp hunts for open-air election party site
Thu Oct 16, 3:45 PM

LONDONDERRY, New Hampshire (AFP) - Barack Obama's White House campaign is considering two big parks in downtown Chicago as it hunts for a potential site for an election night extravaganza, aides said Thursday.

Millennium Park or the adjacent Grant Park, site of an open-air mass in 1979 by Pope John Paul II, are under consideration but permit discussions with city authorities are in their early stages, the aides said.

Both parks could accommodate thousands on what is likely to be a chilly night in the Windy City where temperatures in early November average just above freezing.

But if Obama translates his commanding poll lead over Republican John McCain into victory, supporters fueled by alcohol and elation are unlikely to mind the cold on November 4.

**SNIP**

The sprawling Grant Park, which hosts many of the city's biggest summer festivals, offers stunning views of both the skyline and the lakeshore and is best known for its massive Buckingham fountain.

Millennium Park, located a few blocks north along Michigan Avenue, is peppered with sculptures and is home to a bandshell designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry.

I'm going to have a bottle of chilled champagne in the event of victory and a bottle of scotch in the event of a loss.

As a state senator, Barack Obama gave $100,000 in state money to a campaign volunteer who failed to deliver on a plan to create a botanic garden in one of Chicago’s most blighted neighborhoods. ….. what was supposed to be a six-block stretch of trees and paths is now a field of unfulfilled dreams, strewn with weeds, garbage and broken pavement. Kenny B. Smith, whose nonprofit group got the money, said it was spent legitimately, mostly on underground site preparation. But he admitted Thursday that the garden is a lost cause because other government money never came through.

Hey ... they need to get a little more mileage out of those columns they used at Invesco Field at Mile High during the ‘Rat convention in August. My sideline Bronco seats were obscured by the Obama pulpit ... I insisted the Broncos decontaminate the immediate area before I attended my first Bronco regular season game in September. No response ...

Do we want to let Obama and that shrew of a wife of his celebrating his victory?

McCain’s anemic attempts to fight Obama back is losing this election.

Flood McCain out with emails. DEMAND he fight back HARD- name names!

Flood the MSM out with emails. Send articles/videos and demand they put these before the voting public.

Please go to
http://www.protestthemedia.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7

and pick up all the email addresses to the McCain camp and HUNDREDS of emails of MSM.

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

Obama camp hunts for open-air election (victory) party site (downtown Chicago extravaganza!)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Translation:

Obama camp looks for an open-air election ( loss) rioting venue( Downtown Chicago raping and pillaging like Obama help bring about in Kenya.)

The Illinois National Guard wants to be in their armory and on stand by on election night.

This is the result of the Obama sponsored Hope and Change in Nairobi, where he campaigned for Odinga, who lost:

Photobucket

Above: Orange Party Campaign Worker in orange shirt for Obama-Odinga in Kenya, directs pillaging murder, maiming and rape. Will Obamas Campaign thugs do the same when he loses, in Chicago?

Photobucket

Above, Obama campaigns for Odinga in the Nairobi Prison Slums full of Muslims, his cousin Odinga's riding electoral seat.Odinga tried to win the Kenya election in order to impose Sharia law on a 90% Christian country, and Obama helped him all the way according to Jerome Corsi, even advising Odinga on the riot management after Odinga lost the election so that Odinga could force the government to make him "Prime Minister."Odinga engineered Corsi's deportation from Kenya while the Kibaki people helped save Corsi from injury.

Obamas tentacles of control reach all the way from Chicago to Nairobi.

What kind of president would Obama make? Its a no brainer.

Hubris. A crude attempt to demoralize the opposition. All the more reason to vote against him.
