[A]n estimated 150 people were treated for heat-related illness, including 17 who required hospitalization... DSI volunteers sold water for $2 per cup at three locations near the plaza...Water bottles were not allowed into the event because bottles can be thrown...

So the great party of the "working people" tried to charge 'em two bucks for a lousy cup of water?
No wonder so many almost died of thirst!
What a metaphor for what will become of this country when the "progressives" are in control.
Makes you wanna start throwing bottles, eh?

Water and sanitation contributes to Global Warming - so the Obama campaign is right on this. < /Drunken Sarcasm >

Perfect model for liberalism.

Spend millions building a temple to a glam neophyte. Ban water bottles in case Hillary partisans decide to throw them. Hire a local company to provide water by the cup (which will be plastic, no doubt) at $2/cup (with a percentage going back to the DNC, no doubt).

$2.00!!!

No $2 in Change, no water! Change is bearing down on us!

Probably Bush’s and Bob the Nailer’s fault.

Obama campaign approached the Red Cross earlier in the week about supplying water for the event, but the organization declined because the organization was neutral and does not provide for political rallies, only disaster relief.

Well, it's kind of a disaster after all...

Interesting... Back on Monday I was listening to the DPD scanners, and sure enough a call came through saying that the protesters were saying they needed water. Now, I said at the time that these people were idiots for not bringing their own, but perhaps I wasn’t being fair to them if there were told it would be available at the protest sites...

This brings an awful interesting thought to my mind though:
Bush was blamed when people didn’t have enough clean drinking water after Hurricane Katrina despite the fact that getting supplies in there was a logistical nightmare in Louisiana, but Obama and the Dems couldn’t even get their act together when they knew MONTHS in advance there would be crowds that needed water? That really bodes well for what he would do in the case of an emergency, doesn’t it?

"Lack of Water availability an issue at Obama event"

"What a metaphor for what will become of this country when the "progressives" are in control."

Well if the Obabassiah gets elected, at a price of up to FIFTY-BUCKS a bottle insome places, the brand below will probably suit the progressive "limousine liberals" just fine.

Bling Bottled Water

That’s because Our Most High, Exulted, All-Knowing and Merciful Lord, Redeemer, and Savior Obamessiah Almighty (PBUH) turned it all into wine with a wave of his dainty, benevolent hand.

Do not disturb the One with sob stories about the lack of water. The One only needs enough water so that he can walk on it.

1. Typical libs - $2 per cup of water. They’d tax the damn air if they had meters.

2. If this is how they charge their supporters, guess what you’ll be paying for stuff later on...

3. If they didn’t keep the water supply low, they won’t have enough people falling over fainting at the Obamassiah.
