“If the DNC convention gets any smaller, my bathroom is available.”

You’d never get rid of the smell.

Were you referring to the rainforest guy?

A link would be polite since you are referring to it. I think everyone here would appreciate it.

You’re right. Scratch my bathroom - too risky.

I am not claiming it was from “this guy”. Simply that if SS has credible threats they may move it. BoA open stadium would be easier target. LOTS of crazy/angry people in Charlotte this week.

Also stated it could be optics, it is NOT weather. Obama has given speeches in rain in PA and VA.

See, all those people they shipped in and gave free tickets to thought they were going to see a Panthers game...

Imagine their horror when they find out it was for a Bobcats game.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Police arrested a Charlotte activist Sunday for a traffic violation and sought to keep him in jail during the Democratic National Convention because an officer said he is an activist on a terrorist watch list, court documents show.

Chief District Judge Lisa Bell on Monday reduced the bond for James Ian Tyson, 27, from $10,000 – an unusually high amount for driving while license revoked – to $2,500.

He was released at about 8 p.m. Monday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. President Barack Obama is scheduled to arrive in Charlotte on Wednesday afternoon, before delivering his acceptance speech at Bank of America stadium Thursday night.

The schedule calls for Air Force One to land at the N.C. Air National Guard base at 2:45 Wednesday, with Obama’s departure slated for 10 a.m. Friday. Those events will delay flights at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and the motorcades taking him from and to the airport will disrupt traffic.

There has been no official word on where the Obamas are staying, though it’s widely believed to be the Ballantyne Hotel and Resort. Spokespersons for the hotel and the Obamas have declined to discuss arrangements.

Dogs were patrolling the hotel, he said, while a line of dump trucks blocks the road that leads to the lodge and an adjacent four-bedroom cottage.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Authorities briefly detained an unidentified woman they spotted videotaping buildings near Bank of America Stadium Tuesday morning.

At about 10 a.m., police spotted the woman at a Mint Street parking deck filming buildings, according to Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department Lt. S.A. Sharp.

When police approached, she walked away and spoke to a man at the parking deck.

Soon, about 20 officers gathered at the parking deck.

By 10:30 a.m., authorities had handcuffed the suspect – a tall blonde woman who appeared to be in her 30s or 40s – and were questioning her. They released her about 45 minutes later.

“Secret Service is not going to arrest them, and we’re not going against that,” Sharp said.

Thursday outlook ... Forecasters still think the thunderstorm chances will be lower Thursday than earlier in the week. With President Obama scheduled to speak about 10 p.m. at Bank of America Stadium, and a nine-hour program of live music scheduled before that, the forecast is important.

Horne said thunderstorms will be possible. In fact, the chance of severe weather might be higher Thursday than on Tuesday or Wednesday. But the overall coverage of storms will be less. And by evening, storm chances will decrease.

Translated ... there will be fewer storms, but they could be strong. And the highest chance of storms will be during the daytime portion of the program.

He should probably consider moving to his Hawaii estate now rather than after the election to save time.

He gave speeches in the rain when plenty of supporters were there. If the rainforest guy was a threat, they would not have released him. The guy isn’t popular anymore and they are trying to fill an appropriate stadium to save face. Obama has made campaigning into a psychological event. He wants to appear popular so that the sheeple will think he is and follow the crowd.

And when they can’t fill the Time Warner Center, they’ll move it to the bathroom.

Sorry, with all the faggots in attendance, the bathrooms have been booked solid for months.

Rain had nothing to do with it, except that it served as an excuse. Chance of rain is 4%, with a 1/2 hr. duration.

Imagine all the people who've made or begun their trek to Charlotte (probably threatened if they did not attend) who can now change plans again. Your party is disintegrating.

09/05/2012 09:00 Charolette



The National Wheather Service is issuing this important Wheather Advisery.  Please adjust your schedule accordingly.

- - - - -

Gail force hot air has formed a topical depression over Charolette, North Carolina.  At this point in time, forcast models are predicting pockets of escaping stagnant back room air broken up by swirling masses of bitter angst.

By Thursday evening local time, Charolette can expect a considerable amount of moisture on the foreheads of officials at the Democrat National Convention.  Expected appearances by Leftist players throughout the region have vaporized.  Attendence at Bank of America Stadium could be deep under water by Thursday evening.

The National Wheather Service is now issuing an Inclement Wheather Warning.  Plans for one outdoor event should be canceled immediately.  Failing to do so could result in a flood of embarrassment.

Any busing plans to or from BofA Stadium should be re-evaluated.

Most Democrats should remain in their homes and wait for further alerts, unless directed to do otherwise.

President Obama has declared BofA Stadium a disaster area, and has made funds available to compensate owners who were monetarily damaged.

The Presidential Press Secretary has made public this press release:  In excess of 55 hours before Tropical Depression Obama was to strike Bank of America Stadium in Charolette, we have activated our national disaster plan.  Plans for Bank of America Stadium have been cancelled.  Democrats who had tickets, and are thus victimized, are being urged to go to Warner Cable Arena, for temporary housing. A limited number of empty chairs are still available.  Those who can't make it to the stadium, should remain in their homes, and think about how they can bail water for the best president our nation has ever had.

More information will be released as this administraton's needs warrant.

Don’t think we’d even notice strong winds — too many blowhards and hot air already there.
