Democratic officials confirm to POLITICO that President Obama's prime time address will be moved indoors to the Time Warner Center.

The Thursday address was scheduled to be at Bank of America stadium — an outdoor venue with more than 70,000 seats. But forecasts are predicting thunderstorms, forcing a last minute change in venue.

Well, regarding the Panthers, football games are played in the rain. So no way they cancel a football game due to weather.

I hope those charter bus companies required a nonrefundable deposit in advance.

Psst: When was the last time a Charlotte football game was canceled because of a chance of lightning?

Exactly. I can't remember that ever happening.

You mean to tell me that the man who promised to heal the planet and slow the rise of the oceans couldn’t ensure even one dry evening?

So this means that 50,000 people won’t be able to get in who were going to get in. Which poor soul has to decide which of the groups get in and which to keep out? How do you pick, who gets priority? Unions, Abortionists, LGBT? Trans-species? La Raza, Black Panthers? Reverend Wright? Dancing Vaginas Local 102? Marxists R Us? This could get real ugly, okay it already was though.

..

and Bankrupting America Stadium sits empty

lol lol lol FOAD Hussein you and Moochelle are going to be evicted on November 6th. Your regular voters will not be voting for Romney but they will be sitting it out at home which is almost as good. Because you did jack for them, the thrill is gone for your valued constituencies

Tell Moochelle to start packing for Hawaii your permanent golf vacation home

Lol I had completely forgotten that their first site for this was Charlotte Motor Speedway. They actually thought they could fill that here in NC.

I lived in NC not more than 20 miles from the location of the Stadium. In the summer and fall EVERY single weather forecast without exception contains these words,”chance of afternoon and evening thundershowers”, The only thing which will change is the % assigned to the chance of showers. As an example the forecast for Thursday is a 30% chance in the afternoon and a 20% chance in the evening and that is about as low as it gets.

The change of venue was for one reason, they could not fill the stadium. Unlike in the past they would not be able to fake it with camera angles because to many people are there with their own cameras.

The threat for rain on Thursday night has been steadily decreasing all week, but they wait until today to move it when the actual threat is only 20%. SMH

OMG!

What are they going to do with all of those naive college kids they bussed in along with the blacks they found to pack the (propaganda) stadium? What will happen to the large “Obama” sand sculpture?

We need to call in FEMA to deal with this IMMEDIATELY!

This completely wrecks the Obama propaganda campaign that falsely “packs” the seats for better propaganda exposure.

This is terrible...just terrible!

gays? LGBT?

Give them priority for admissions to the smaller 15000 venue. Gays and publik schoolteachers. They are the pillars of today's godless Democrat party. I read that 2008 Dem convention delegates, 20% were public school teachers

The DNC now renting the equivilent a clown car to prove Obama can still pack 'em in!

(Note: Paul Ryan easily got >10,000 people to an impromptu meeting recently.)

They shall look for individuals who can satisfy as many grievance groups as possible.

Example: Lesbian Transgendered Eskimo Furry.

Locking out 50,000 people could cause a riot.

Well maybe, but they will get to keep the free DNC Convention Edition EBT cards and Medical Marijuana Coupons as souvenirs, and that's what they all wanted anyway.

R&R should run an ad about how Obama has disenfranchised his own supporters with this move indoors.

Show the empty football stadium.
