The DNC has moved President Obama’s acceptance speech indoors. Organizers are blaming bad weather. Some in the media have been skeptical that the real reason was fear of having a lot of obviously empty seats. After the Clint Eastwood skit, the Obama campaign hyperventilates at the thought of an empty chair.
My concern is what the DNC is going to do for those 54,000 people who sacrificed so much just to get a brief glimpse of the Annointed One? Are they now left to huddle outside in the cold and the rain? Surely the DNC, which cares so much for all the little people, has done something. At a minimum, there must be an alternative venue available where they can at least watch this on closed circuit television.
I think we should all join in a campaign to help find the missing 54,000 and offer assistance. They thought they had opportunity to listen to President Obama, in person, give one of the most important speeches in American history. The disappointment must be staggering.
One final thought. The DNC decided to leave God out of their platform. I know they don’t believe in God any more, but perhaps they should consider what God would do, if He did exist. He might just take Hurricane Isaac and miraculously make it turn mysteriously to the west to drench New Orleans. Hmmm. Lots of Democrats in New Orleans. A lot of liberal Democrats were royally pissed because Isaac didn’t wreak havoc on the RNC in Tampa. Then, to reinforce the point, He might send a thunderstorm to Charlotte, NC where President Obama is scheduled to speak in an outdoor stadium. I mean if you were President Obama or part of his campaign staff and you knew how many lies you had told lately, would you really risk lightning? Just saying!
