Unless he is admitting he is not eligible to be president, I could care less what this empty suit has to offer.

RUSHING TO GET TICKETS

The spokesman said advance team told him that they wanted a venue that would be appropriate for a “policy speech.”

That no entertainment has been booked

Civic center’s capacity can vary from 3,500 to 5,000 people, depending on the configuration.

NEED WE HEAR ANYMORE?

[Sooth2222]

His grandmother confessed to him that he was adopted?

[joma89]

Sorry, I am busy. I have to go to work to support myself, unlike the people who will undoubtedly go to this rally. I am sure a vast majority of them do not work because they are receiving my and your tax dollars that allow them to stay home and not have to work.

Most likely he is feeling a little heat from Palin saying he will take your money...and he has to try to come up with some words that even though will not say anything, will sway some votes his way. Plus the same old, the republicans are so bad, blah blah blah, we are the ones that are lying and attacking while he is running a “clean” campaign. It’s the age old game, accuse the other guy of exactly what you are doing. Make yourself look innocent (the victim)while doing what you are accusing the other guy of doing. Plus tell everyone he is not liberal and we have nothing to fear with his presidency and maybe, just maybe, Biden will be stepping aside. Just a guess... All I can say is democrats have been showing us in bits and pieces what they are really like... Do not trust them! Not one bit. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if he claims he solved some world wide problem.......

[COUNTrecount]

“There-Ya-Go” Joe dropping our for medical reasons.
Colin P. to step in.

[TheCipher]

Maybe he’s announcing his withdrawal from the campaign since he couldn’t find his original Birth Certificate.

More likely that he "found" it in his dying grandmothers papers attached to a picture of his dear mother.

[My Favorite Headache]

This idiot thinks he is the President already. It will be NOTHING. As usual...these kinds of “events” are created to bring any interest back to the candidate.

This will be more “Can you afford 4 years more of George W Bush” garbage we have heard 3,000,000 times.

[tioga]

He just might play the “Hillary” card.

which card? the one where she cries and wins NH? LOL

[csvset]

Important address ? Sounds like one of those 1/2 hour long infomercials that run on weekends.

Stay tuned for information about an important breakthrough in weight loss!

[teletech]

Look for a switcheroo in the VP candidate.

"...Several other large companies operate in the greater-Canton area, including are Belden Brick Company (brick and masonry producer) and Diebold (ATMs, electronic voting devices, and bank vaults)..."

C.J. Cooper, 19, of Dover, a Walsh University sophomore, originally went to the office looking for tickets to a pro-Obama rally in Cleveland on Wednesday featuring rapper Jay-Z and Cavs star LeBron James. He ended up settling for tickets to see Obama on Monday.

Yeah, I'll bet he's disappointed.

Next sentence

"It's a little disappointing, but still encouraging at the same time," he said, tongue in cheek. He said he'll be skipping statistics class to attend Obama's speech. But he doesn't think his professor will care. "I think he's for Obama."

Knew it. He was there for the free rap tickets. Like all the other people who show up to see BO. Say in Germany.

[Caipirabob]

Are they going to set up "early voting" booths at the ralley? is it permitted in Ohio? (as if it would make a difference to the messiah!)

[MDformerDem]

Why doesn’t McCain give ‘policy speeches’ for some free press? It’s always Obama on the teevee, not a good thing.

[Born In America]

He will share with America a Thanksgiving day dinner guide for how to have a traditional Family Thanksgiving dinner. He able to get from his grandmother in Hawaii on his recent visit with Grammy....

Mind you, this will be a 'typical' white family tradition.

[Netizen]

Good point. He could very well be getting ready to tell them about his Perot like infomercial.

[upchuck]

Ophelia Owens, 60, of Canton,... “I think he’s going to bring back the economy.”

Sweetie, you ain’t seen nuthin yet!

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tomorrow Barack Obama will deliver a major policy speech to be carried live on all networks and cable channels. In a bold move, Barack Obama will once again change the focus of his campaign. The theme of the campaign will no longer be "Change We Can Believe In" and it will now become "Hope For The Future". Focus groups and real world poll numbers show that "Change" is not resonating with voters. Change is too often falsely associated with the unknown and more specifically with socialism. We feel that "Hope" is the new direction that will carry us forward through to election day.
