Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â€” A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama â€” an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.

Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.

The sand sculpture was protected from above, and Mr. Obama's face didn't see too much damage. But the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president's right side and leaving the sand pockmarked and completely erasing his right elbow.

Democrats' choice of Charlotte has drawn criticism from unions who don't like North Carolina's labor laws, and the state seems to be tilting away from Democrats politically.

The large Rushmore-style sculpture drew comparisons to Mr. Obama's 2008 convention in Denver, when he accepted his party's nomination on a stage that looked like a Greek temple.

Of course rain pelted his right side.

Maybe God is trying to tell our Democratic friends that bearing false idols is a losing proposition.

What Biden talking to Obama?

Nope, that be a fool addressing an empty suit.

Face it, they had 4 years and they cannot run on their own record.

And YOU know it, because YOU cannot defend their record!

Let me ask you this, if I said your mental prowess reminded me of Biden, would you take it as an insult?

Because it really does.

AFL-CIO Sets Up â€œHug A Union Thugâ€ Booth At DNC

And if you donâ€™t hug them they will stomp on your face until you agree to do so.

Quote:

This Labor Day, unions are trying a mix of celebrity, social media and humor to polish up the labor movementâ€™s image in the eyes of everyday people.

In Charlotte, people will be asked to â€œhug a union thugâ€ at a CarolinaFest booth sponsored by the North Carolina State AFL-CIO the day before the Democratic National Convention officially begins. Also in honor of Monday, videos are being posted online thanking workers while actors and athletes will use Twitter to express support for union rights.

The effort comes as labor has seen increased attacks from Republican-controlled state legislatures and governors since the 2010 elections. Unions were unsuccessful in their attempt earlier this summer to oust Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) after he pushed through legislation that curbed some public workersâ€™ collective bargaining rights.

Democrats To Bus In Blacks, College Students To Help Fill Stadium For Obamaâ€™s DNC Speech

Here comes the astroturf.

Quote:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) â€“ 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 Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.

Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Partyâ€™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 Obamaâ€™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 Obamaâ€™s national security credentials.

DNC Moved Obama Speech Because They Couldnâ€™t Fill Bank of America Stadium, Campaign Worried About â€œLarge Number Of Empty Seatsâ€

Obviously.

Quote:

Democrats have announced that President Barack Obamaâ€™s big speech on Thursday night will move from the vast Bank of America stadium to the much-smaller Time Warner indoor arena.

While organisers blamed weather forecasts of lightning, the switch means that Obama has avoided the possibility of having to accept his partyâ€™s nomination before a partially-empty stadium. Just hours earlier, officials had been insisting the speech would go ahead in the stadium â€˜rain or shineâ€™.

â€˜We have been monitoring weather forecasts closely and several reports predict thunderstorms in the area, therefore we have decided to move Thursdayâ€™s proceedings to Time Warner Cable Arena to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and convention guests,â€™ said convention chief Steve Kerrigan.

But convention sources exclusively told the MailOnline on Tuesday that the real reason behind the switch was fears within the Obama campaign that there would be large numbers of empty seats in the 74,000-seater stadium. The Time Warner arena has a capacity of just over 20,000.

â€˜It looks like a done deal to me,â€™ a convention worker told MailOnline on Tuesday. â€˜The decisionâ€™s apparently been taken and itâ€™s just a matter of spinning it as being forced on us by the weather.â€™ As the source was speaking, Democrats were saying publicly the event would go ahead as planned.

It takes a real political genius to do something as stupid as this. Here's Mittens holding a press conference in his home state after telling them "let Detroit go bankrupt."

There's a reason he ended up in that big stadium. Would you care to tell us? While your at it, tell us why the Messiah can't get the large crowds anymore.... :smt005

Off Topic.

Why are you desperately trying to change the subject?

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.

Majority Before Jerusalem And God Platform Vote Was Taken

Oops!

Yet edge, and chuckmo, and sparkie will continue to be true believers...that is why they refer to their own as "useful idiots"

Quote:

Check out this photo, taken as the DNC chair took a vote on Wednesday, asking delegates to vote on re-adding language on God and Jerusalem to the partyâ€™s platform.

Although the crowd seemed to not reach the two-thirds majority needed to affirm the vote, the chair did so anyways. Now, it appears that the result was already forecast, planted in the prompter prior to the vote ever taking place.
