Dems Giving Away Tickets to Obama's Speech

You need to be at Manuel's Tavern by noon Friday.

Dunwoody Democrats have a chance to see President Barack Obama's acceptance speech in person at next week's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC.

The DeKalb Democratic Party sent out this message Thursday night.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO CHARLOTTE AND BE THERE IN PERSON FOR THE PRESIDENTS"S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH?

In Atlanta: Manuel's Tavern, 602 N Highland Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

In Macon: Bibb County Democratic Party, 835 Forsyth St. Suite A, Macon GA 31201

Here's the rules:

Everyone who is at Manuel's Tavern or the Bibb County Democratic Party by noon is eligible for two tickets. Arrive early if you want, but it won't give you a better chance to win. Just be there by 12 noon!

If less than 50 people arrive, everyone will get a pair! If more than 50 folks arrive, we will do a random drawing to determine our winners.

There is no cost involved. We're not selling the tickets, we're giving them away.

Since we're not selling tickets, you can't sell them either! If you sell your tickets to someone else, they will be deactivated.

For planning purposes, we expect that President Obama will speak at 8pm on Thursday. To insure that you are in your seat for the speech, you should arrive at the stadium that afternoon. There will be strict security at the event.

Your trip to Charlotte to see the President's historic speech begins tomorrow.

It makes a great headline when you don’t understand local politics.

Ticket would be good for not attending or for hecklers !

Yeah, it'd be cool if a bunch of people got in and started chanting "HILLARY!" when Obama comes on stage. Especially if it breaks out among the Democrats.

Since this is from the Dunwoody Patch, and Dunwoody is synonymous here with "out of touch wealthy suburban housewives", the writers may not know either.

My apologies to any FReepers marooned in Dunwoody.

Is that a queer bar, or is it ladies’ night?

” If less than 50 people arrive, everyone will get a pair! If more than 50 folks arrive, we will do a random drawing to determine our winners.”

The winners get to attend a speech. The losers get to be flown to dc and have dinner at the white house with obama.

Muslim Brotherhood must have front row seats and then the Taliban and Al Qaeda get second row. Ya think Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, Kerry, Schumer, Durbin will be in the third row?

If you’re a one percenter, the ticket is $35,000.

I would almost be tempted to go to one of those bars and get tickets just to keep someone else from going to the DNC convention! :-)

Sounds like a plan to me.

Is is a gay bar? What’s with the males in briefs?

The details are interesting but the fact that the DNC and the GA democrats have to give tickets away in bars stands alone as an indication of just how anxious people are to listen to BO’s spiel. It sure isn’t 2008, is it?

No, that's not Manuel's. Somebody on the thread was joshing.

Manuel's is just your typical old-fashioned local:

Back in the old days. That's the great man himself on the left.

Ohhhhh, okay! LOL I have to admit I wasn’t a bit surprised that a gay bar may double as a local democrat office. I lived in California back in the late ‘80s. ;) Thanks for the correction!

It wouldn’t surprise me either! Just happened to be a local in this case. I hoisted many a beer there when we lived on that side of town.
