The Obama campaign announced Monday that he will leave the hall of the Democratic National Convention in Denver and deliver a rock-star-style acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, quadrupling his live audience.
The speech will be on the fourth and final day of the convention, Aug. 28.
Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president, that’s also the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
The move means additional expense for the television networks, where executives are having a conference call Monday to discuss the expense and logistics of moving their cameras and anchors to the new location after months of planning for a finale in the Pepsi Center.
The convention hall has a capacity of 19,000, compared to more than 76,000 at Invesco.

I hope all the old hippies pick up their trash and use the porta potties and get out of town ASAP.
YUP!
Great picture!!
Ein Reich (die Sozialist Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika)
Ein Volk (schwartz nur)
Ein Obama (Heiland)
“What is with all the references to Nazi’s and Hitler, I’m tired of it. Can’t people think an original thought?”
Because it’s a valid comparison on the messiah, change, hope, , fervent believers, gun control, and socialisism levels.
Viva Zapama!

Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Seig Heil!
Ave Caesar, in any language. Coronations seem to take on their own life, and the mob psychology reigns supreme.
No but He will be giving the WHITE-OWNED & JEWISH OWNED BUSINESSES to all the blacks who don't have their own businesses. You know, redistribution of wealth!
If the jackboot fits....
I await his proclamation that "a rising tide lifts all boats". On the second thought, I would expect something to the tune of "man the lifeboats, she's sinking...".

Yep, exactly. Sour grapes are hilarious. I can think that Obama is a liberal wackjob without being jealous that he is popular and call him Hitler because Hitler spoke to big crowds, too. Garth Brooks sang to about 750,000 people in Central Park. Paul McCartney sang to over 180,000 paying fans in Rio. Are Garth and Paul the same as Hitler? It's idiotic logic.
You were reading my mind,be very afraid folks!!!
You can bet this will be a concert.
Springsteen, Mellenhead, couple others (maybe Jackson Wifebeater Browne, but I doubt it)
Multimedia spectacular also. Think Super Bowl halftime - fireworks, laser light show. And finally some stunt (releasing doves or the like) or maybe a “Planet Minute” hosted by Algore when they all light Bic lighters and burn a hole in the ozone layer...
Chris Matthews will go through AT LEAST three boxes of Kleenex...
There is a really bad joke in there but....
Maybe he should wear shorts........ya know for that "tinglin' legs" thinghy........
Then we'll see if he's REALLY the Messiah.

Actually, the last time he spoke before a crowd of about 75,000, there was a rock concert preceding his speech. I wonder if they are planning another rock concert before his speech to build up the crowds. Of course, the MSM won’t report on that if that is the case.
Perhaps it's the similarities between Obama's and the democRAT's platform and that of the National Socialist Party in Germany (aka the Nazis), circa the 1930's.
