Better Business Bureau of Southern Piedmont President Tom Bartholomy said credentials to see President Barack Obama deliver his acceptance speech at Bank of America Stadium, which were handed out recently, will likely go on sale on Craigslist and eBay.

I’m going to be out front in a booth selling pig farms. I’ll only charge $50 for some pig seeds.

Why would I want to go to SF? I can understand why someone might want to leave

The ones where the label says "CHINA" (Carefully Handcrafted In Native America)?

Scammers always prey on the weak minded. That’s why they stayed away from our convention and are targeting the Dims.

Headline: Officials warn DNC visitors of scams

WOW! You mean they're actually letting visitors know to beware of dEmo'Rat politicians? Amazing!

Jokes aside, I'm sure a lot of the riffraff that the liberals supposedly care about and love will be there; but, as usual, the liberal media will ignore them. It happens every election season.

If anybody is so stupid enough to see Obama’s acceptance speech much less PAY to see it then they deserved to get ripped off.
