Colorado natives The Flobots will open with Obama’s fave song “Handlebars.”

Hillary and the Bruisers? ;)

Sadly, the media will cover this like the second coming of you-know-who.

I hate the Left and all the phoney-baloney cr@p they stand for. Truly, I do.

Remember "Food-Aid," for starving Ethiopians in a communist regime, or "Hands Across America?"

This will be bigger, I'll wager.

Not Food-Aid, maybe “Live Aid.” Ah, who cares, it still sucked.

Can you imagine the “carbon footprint” Obama and his comrades are going to leave for his coronation at Invesco. I’ll bet it’s going to be at least 500 times the “carbon footprint” Uncle Adolf and his pals used to leave at Nurnburg.

Like the convention itself, this will not happen. The dems are too incompetent to pull it off.

You may be correct,will it be Neil Diamond?

Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group tellin' you and me
It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show

Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Ev'ry ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go,
Half the valley shakes

It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show

[Sermon]

Take my hand in yours,
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know, I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle
Halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies and ev'ryone goes
I say, Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies and ev'ryone goes...

According to Al-P here is the agenda for the second coming..ahhh..I mean acceptance speech of Obama.

Opening prayer by Mullah Omar
Pledge of Allegiance by Hugo Chavez (flag to be announced)
Video tributes from Fidel Castro, Osama Bin Laden and Reverend Wright.
Music from Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)
Introduction by President Comrade Bob Mugabe of Zimbabwe

Clouds part...convention delegates rise into the air to meet Obama....

Speech.

Olbermann and Matthews ejaculate all over themselves.

I think DMB is scheduled through August. However, they have done concerts for him before, so I would not be surprised.

You can narrow it down by considering who’s on tour and who has dates near then.

The opening song, a James Brown classic....”Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud”. Nah, but that just might be playing at the after party.

Saw a van yesterday with an “African American for Obama” bumper sticker. Racist speech that will cause issue's, wait and see.

Laura Ingraham said that the Grateful Dead will be reforming to play the DNC convention. Jerry Garcia will not be joining them. I wonder if he’s voting for Obama.

A better James Brown political message song:

http://www.funky-stuff.com/jamesbrown/Interviews/Hammer_interview.htm

HAMMER: My favorite song of yours is “I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open the Door, I’ll Get it Myself).” How did that song come about?

JB: That song still remains, because of the fact that there are a lot of things closed to blacks, Hispanics, women. There are a lot of people who think they’re in the system, but they’re really not in the system. Uh, any time an Afro-American kid, 9 or 10 years old, can get up and say “Mama, I think I’m gonna study hard because I want to be president,” and have a shot at being president, then we’ve got America. Other than that, we’ve got a name and we’re trying to find out what it means.
Uh, one day, when you can go on any side of town and not be frantic, or curious, about what might happen to you, and be at home at any place in America, we won’t have to worry about “Say It Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud).” We won’t have to worry about those songs by, uh, Joan Baez or Janis Joplin and John Lennon, that they made in the Sixties. That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to let people know that, hey, don’t give me nothin’, just open up the door, and if I don’t earn it, then I don’t earn it.
I want you to quote me as saying this — “If I become a bum, then let me become a bum by my own choice.” Then, if I become a bum, don’t label me as a n***** bum, just let me be a bum. Now, that’s pride.

HAMMER: Uh...

JB: That didn’t make you jump when I said the word “n*****,” did it?

HAMMER: No, sir.

JB: We’re talking about situations. If we’re talking about the lower South, they called the whites the “crackers.” That still is there, but hopefully we don’t use those words any more. That day should be over with. We should judge a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin, like Dr. Martin Luther King said. But now, we don’t have to worry about that, they worry about what their social security number is and are they paying taxes.
