The Rock Star Plans His Coronation
In an effort to generate maximum hype at his coronation in Denver, the Obamessiah has moved the event to a stadium, where other shallow rock stars have performed for vast crowds of mindlessly adoring fans.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean acknowledged the decision to move Obama's speech on the final night of the Aug. 25-28 convention to the giant open-air football field of the Denver Broncos would raise security challenges, but said he and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper had agreed such concerns won't deter the change in venue.
Dean, in a conference call with reporters, also batted away questions about logistical challenges and added costs the change would produce, saying those things would be worked out in the coming weeks.
Obama, speaking to reporters in St. Louis, said he was excited about the move.
"Sometimes our conventions don't feel like they are open to everybody," Obama said. "For us to be able to do it in Invesco Field is an opportunity for 80,000 people who might otherwise not have been able to participate to get involved."
You have to hand to authoritarian statists: they have a knack for pageantry.

Although it isn't often mentioned in the news, the Republicans will have a convention too. Reader Matt L reports on John McCain's plans:
I understand John McCain will also have a change of venue for his acceptance speech. It will be in banquet room #3 of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Bowl-O-Rama. After the speech, entertainment will be provided by Nick Dbufosweshniski and his Accordion Daredevils who also appear every happy hour Thursday thru Sunday at the "Ya Sure, You Betcha" lounge. McCain's staff promises that "well drinks" will be $1 for anyone registering as a Republican that evening.

I guess Nuremberg was booked up.

The DNC has already overspent the convention budget by 30%. I wonder how much more buying out the stadium is going to cost? Or is the City of Denver making an in-kind campaign contribution to Obama 2008 in the form of station access, security, and traffic control?
Wouldn't it be awesome if the 'Recreate 68' crowd made asses of themselves in the stadium, during the Obamassiah's speech?

Ah, Port Angeles, another bastion of Monbattery.

Darcey Hudgens,
I went to noquarter and checked it out. It's clearly an anti Obama website, but what hate and racism are you referring to? I didn't see any on the site, unless simply opposing Obama is racism and being critical of him is hate.

Hey "Darcy", it's all over for Hillary. Posting here with this advertisement won't help. (Can you remove this, Van?)
By the way Darc, learn how to use punctuation and write a comprehensible sentence. I'm guessing you're a graduate of the public school system...

simply opposing Obama is racism and being critical of him is hate.
Yes, that is the rule.

...and he isn't even PRESIDENT yet, V. Between the "you can't say anything or your a hateful racist" crowd and the "he's a lightworker and from another dimension" crowd, there will be ZERO room for anyone to disagree with the pearls of wisdom or high-vibratonal actions of His Holiness.

I heard John Williams will be playing the march from the Empire Strikes Back and they're producing a movie remake about the speech and convention... Triumph of the Will 2.

Yep, and Hatecrime = Thoughtcrime = DoublePlusUngood.
I wonder what the carbon footprint of this stadium coronation will be? And why aren't the usual greenie whackos outraged at this? I'm outraged at it, but that's due to its pompous and utterly ridiculous nature.
You Obama supporters and Bush haters (but I repeat myself) wanted a messiah, and it looks like you're about to get one. Does anyone else remember the scene in "Jewel of the Nile" where the corrupt dictator stages a big rally with the help of a team that usually produced rock concerts, so as to make him appear as a god on Earth? He got his in the end - we can only hope that life imitates art.

I guess Obama is definitely about "change" since the man changes his position on an hourly basis.
Posted by: Kilroy at July 8, 2008 11:58 AM
I echo Coder's question - I thought this was to be the 'greenest' convention in the history of the DNC. Those stadium lights, plus the logistics of bussing 70 or 80 thousand Obamanites around is going to leave a hell-of-a nasty hole in the O(bama)zone layer over Denver.
But hey - that's why it's an ObamaNation!
As far as McPain - "Nick Dbufosweshniski and his Accordion Daredevils"??? No Sh*t??!!! I hope it's on TV. I'll Tivo THAT, for sure.

Since the theme is a 1968 do-over for leftist radicals I would greatly enjoy some radical hacking into the sound system playing a loop of his 'greedy white people' over and over to forever ruin the messiah's moment.

Great idea IOpian! Any volunteers??? Just think of the comedy value, especially if one played "This Magic Moment" in the background!!!

Obama had to move his speech to an outdoor venue, because the indoor setting was too small to fit his ego
Posted by: ToddonCapeCod at July 8, 2008 2:34 PM
Now that is funny because it appears to be soooo true! Good one TCC.

The official song of this year's DNC is "Taxman" by the Beatles.
Perhaps they can get René Marie to sing the Black National Anthem there also.

Since ObamaNation has a problem with using Barak's real middle name, maybe we should just call him "Flip Flop" Obama! He's probably changed his stance on every major issue 10 or 12 times in the last week or so. Maybe they could play tiddly winks at the "Coronation". They could even sell commemorative sets at $20 a pop, his moonbat groupies would buy em like hot cakes!

I'm amazed that Doh-bama didn't schedule his "acceptance" (by whom?) speech for Beijing, just before the Closing Ceremonies, where all the world could bow down and kiss his messianic feet (Damn! Feel the love!) and grovel before his massive intellect -- give up your freedom and live the Doh-bama Way; let our benevolent federal government take care of your every need (just keep sending in that tax money, folks -- more and more and more of it as time goes by!).

Now the Elitist Monarch, his majesty, King BHO has mandated that Americans should feel "shame" for not being "bi-lingual". With the Minutemen winning in court concerning securing our borders, this probably has more to do with Mexican's not wanting to speak English, than more Euro's being bi-lingual and Americans not. Hey Barak, if all 50 states spoke different languages, we would all speak 2 or 3 languages, but that's not the case, so keep your opinion to yourself! We have spoke one language from the beginning... English. Get over it!

V, I don't think we'll see that one on any campaign materials or the BHO website! LOL!!!

I wonder if Lene Reifenstahl is still available to film this event...
