Occupy Charlotte crrowd kisses up to Obama and DNC!

Politics is rotten at its heart.

amen

Is it the same type of news you keep inventing as about the gas price?

Here's one that's not "invented". Obama can't get the crowds he wanted to fill up for Thursday, so the DNC is paying to bus people in. :)

His crowds have been dwindling. Romney and Ryan's crowds have been growing.

Yesterday, Rasmussen's poll showed Romney 48% and Obama 44%. It's about time.

Marilyn: first of all when considering statistics it is important to know who issues them because it changes the report: Rasmussen is obviously partial and driven by the GOP. CNN, same period gives 47/45 OB/MR and less than 4% difference is not significant due to the many lack of objectivity involved.

Indeed for the time being MR crowds have been growing but, the time coming he will have to explain how he intends to create 12 million jobs when, just by refusing health care the people refuses 3 million jobs.

Facing reality it seems to me that 12 million will be disappointing.
On another hand I didn't got how he intends to deal with Iran. Syria is the test field and if ever one follows McCain bombing idea, this will end in war with both Russia and China. And America has not the means for it ... even if NATO is involved.

Whoever the next President is, people will be disappointed because the excutive dept depends anyway from the lawmakers and I don't believe that Congress will decide to start working, whoever the Prez is.

And a war with Iran will put for sure millions of people at work, enriching again the industries and killing a lot of people.

But, as far as I am concerned, I believe it is quite a good thing for Obama if Mitt followers are increasing now: this may become quite different after the 3 TV shows.

Did I iinvent the crowds of Hollywood kiss-ups?

Neither the kiss-ass crowds. The good thing about it is that, after diner, these over-feeded millionaire ... fart!

Que?

Que? Que quieres? Mientes unicamente por personal odio y racismo.

Lo bueno es creerse amparada por culos ricos.

Uh .... here is the text of the quoted article. It says that Democrats are handing out tickets, not that they are grabbing random people off the streets and paying to bus them in.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.

Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.

Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama's crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies.
Obama advisers insist the stadium will be filled when Obama delivers his speech. Vice President Joe Biden also will speak Thursday night, along with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who will vouch for Obama's national security credentials.

"The response we've seen from the community has been incredible and it's obvious that people have a big interest in owning a piece of the most open and accessible convention in history," said Adam Fetcher, a campaign spokesman. "President Obama's speech on Thursday night will bring this election into focus for the American people, and it will be even more significant because so many North Carolinians will be there to see it."

Convention delegates, volunteers and other Democratic officials already in Charlotte for the party gathering could make up as much as one-third of the crowd. But filling the rest of the stadium is a piecemeal process.
About 200 students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are taking buses to the stadium Thursday night. Another 100 are expected on buses from Duke University.

Lonnie Randolph, the president of the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP, said several large black churches in his state are planning to send busloads of members on Thursday to watch the president's speech.

"There are plenty of people who wouldn't miss it for the world," Randolph said. "How often does this happen this close to South Carolina?"

Obama aides say several thousand tickets also have been given to new campaign volunteers in North Carolina. People who complete three volunteer shifts totaling nine hours got one ticket to the final speech.

The volunteer ticketing program also helps Obama boost his grassroots network in North Carolina, a battleground state he moved into the Democratic column in 2008 for the first time in nearly 40 years. But Obama is facing an uphill battle this time around in North Carolina, where the unemployment rate exceeds the national average and voters approved a gay marriage ban the day before the president announced his support for same-sex unions.

Tens of thousands of other tickets have been handed out to the public on a first-come, first-served basis, the campaign said, though officials would not provide an exact number.

Thursday's event is certain to draw comparisons to 2008, when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination before a capacity crowd at an 84,000-seat stadium in Denver. There was little concern back then over whether Obama would fill the stadium, in part because he was easily attracting tens of thousands of people to his campaign rallies across the country.

This time around, Obama's crowds are far smaller. He drew his biggest audience at his campaign kick-off rally in May, a 14,000-person crowd at Ohio State University. About 13,000 people attended Obama's rally on Sunday at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

The campaign says the size of Obama's events this summer have purposely been kept low. Large rallies are more expensive and security requirements are more intense for a sitting president than a candidate.

Convention organizers in Charlotte may have more control over the crowds than their other big concern: the weather. Heavy evening rains doused Charlotte over the weekend, and thunderstorms are forecast for Thursday.

Obama deputy campaign manager Jennifer O'Malley-Dillon told Iowa delegates Monday: "If you believe in weather gods, you should pray to them."

She hates so much Barack Obama - and love so much Mitt - that any invention of her or suporting her love - becomes reality for her.

Any math showing her being wrong is refused but she attracts some people who are, as well, somehow extremists.

Don't pay too much attention to them: for a lie to perdure, it needs much more clever people.

Your picture makes me smile, Gilbert. You look like a nice man... then I read your words - and I get disappointed.

"Don't pay too much attention to them: for a lie to perdure, it needs much more clever people." What lie and who do you mean?

Obama has been elected on an expectation but not on a "timed expectation": the situation was far worse than even expected but slowly improving. Too much slowly but still.

Mitt could be elected on the basis of certainty to create 12 million jobs in four years with a limited budget and certainly without foreign investments because investors now fear the consequences of Congress inaction. If it is too difficult to raise 12 million jobs, only a war (with Iran?) will hide the problem. This was the GWB expected solution in order to extract 6 millions barrels of light oil every day.

Dig a bit into the matter, you will easy find out how oil drives the wars in these areas. The only key I can provide you with, is that for each soldier on the field, one needs at the least 5 supporting employees working inland so an army of 2.4 million soldiers, implies ab. 9.6 million jobs.

On the other hand, the Iran main nuclear plant is located deeper than the Israelian one which reaches already 100 yards deep. The use of nuclear breaking bombs on Iran would justify Russia and China entering into the conflict, but nowadays no war can be achieved without the help of China as it is the sole and exclusive supplier of rare earths needed for any electronic item.

So America is facing the choice: expensive blood consuming jobs or slowly improving joblessness peace.

Hasn't that always been the diversion? War? Rather than focusing on the problems at home, going to war at least keeps people's minds on a larger threat, i.e., our security. At least - if Romney gets in, the only way he'll be able to gloss over not being able to fulfill his promise of creating 12 million jobs in THIS country is by going to war. "Trust me," he says, "trust me". What is YOUR first thought when someone says, "Trust me"?

To call for my bodyguard! (LOL)

It is somewhat ironic that events are to be held in Bank of America Stadium, but the bank does also manage the campaign monies and contributions. Most in the party prefer it be referenced as Panther stadium to avoid that little issue in association. The DNC have taken some heat for it... but that's politics.

John Arizona, maybe the BOA gave them the space free gratis, given what I've read about the DNCs money being so tight, lol. I didn't know the BOA managed DNC's money, hmm.

I have no clue about any of that, but doubt it was free. I'm not sure about the entire DNC and BofA connections either, they might, only what I read about the reelection campaign funds management as I remember. Part of the story was an issue over BofA arranging/creating a system that internet donations made by credit cards wouldn't need that three digit security code on the backs of credit cards as is normal practice when using a card online. I think part of the issue was that it also makes the transactions/contributors harder to track/audit as well, and why go to those lengths to eliminate that step in validating proper use of the cards?

The DNC and their followers are two faced... Its ok for them but boy dont anyone else do it... As for the occupoopers, they are a bunch of left over hippies, and a bunch of kids who need to be potty trained or someone should buy some diapers for them...

The DNC is the occupy movement, Vickey.

And Obama is all about the poor folks!

And Obama is all about the poor folks!

All about keeping poor folks poor.

More likely that Romney's tax increases on the poor are going to keep the poor down, or removing the social safety net, or privatizing education, or getting rid of any hope of health care ... are you people for real?

I won't write too much because I know you Republicans just delete stuff you disagree with.

Offend Obama...! HELL YES...! Let us offend him every way that we can....!!! Vote the lying, anti-American bastard out of office...!

Proof of what? He has a phony birth certificate, has phony Soc. Sec. number, went school under either false documentation nor ha sbeen elected under the same....! Obama is aphony.....! Obama is a Geortger Soros puppet....!

Donald, there you go with that b/s. That is why you and other birthers along with other nimwitted republicans always seem to vote against their own self-interest. You would vote an almost 2,400 dollar tax increase for yourselves in order to give millions in tax breaks to people like The Koch brothers and Romney. They are masters of exploiting the self-indulged ignorance of the republican middle class and poor. But, it makes sense to you because you are a birther and your hatred of the president trumps the fact that Romney hides millions of money he made off the backs of the working class in overseas accounts. How American is that birther?????

Could you explain what you mean by "kisses up" ... if you are going to write and article, at least explain what you mean, or is that something Republicans just don't bother with anymore?

;-)

why not get the real reason for why it not anywhere else you would bitch if it was in Oklahoma City or Tidbut too,, you just need to complain about something AGAIN

It would help if you would read your comments before you post them. I honestly cannot make heads nor tails about what you are saying, meaning, for example, "Are you FOR or AGAINST what she wrote?"

Please clarify so that others can respond sensibly WITHOUT NEEDING TO GUESS at what you mean. Guessing usually means the guesser guessed wrong.

I am not even going to try guessing.

sir merlinn,, If you can't figure it out that I am for either, then that is your issue, please don't tell me how to write or tell my comments for you are not my parent or husband(thank God),, I just stated she complain about everything,,
so do try to guess and butt out then if you don't like it,,
ither will do the same.. this is your way to be perfect and no one not even me is perfect

I am not perfect. I do not mean to imply I am perfect.

I simply don't like playing guessing games because a post is not clear for whatever reason . I was simply giving you a heads up that what you wrote is not clear and therefore should be re-stated. Whether you take that heads up as positive criticism or not is entirely your choice.

Since you apparently do not care whether people can understand what you read, I will simply ignore your comments, even if they are perfectly clear. Thank you, and have a good life.

I do care about my friend and they understand me, also want to thank you,, for you are now helping me boost my points with a rant about your bitchiness, so thank you

Anyone that supports Obama is none too bright.

Anyone that supports romney and the Koch brothers are just plain stupid. I did notice they (koch brothers) managed to buy a little diversity at the RNC though.
