‘Best weather of the entire week’: Local meteorologist puzzled by Obama speech move

Orwelian government propoganda - or more plainly, untruthful excuses. They couldn’t fill the stadium for Der Fuerher, so rather than embarass him on national TV, they’r going to a smaller venue and blaming it on the weather. Of course they can get away with it; who belives the TV weatherman anyway.

Sarah Palin should offer to use the stadium. She’d have it filled to overflowing.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, okay, you caught me. I did miss a big opportunity there.

[TigersEye]

I see you’re busy protecting the Dems from humiliation.

[cld51860]

It’s as believable as John Burton’s root canal appointment that had him departing Charlotte early.

[TomGuy]

Brad Blakeman, a Bush guy, says on FoxNews that his Dem friends (who want to remain anonymous) are admitting they could NOT fill the stadium, even with free tickets and transportation. Thus, rather than have a media disaster with a half-empty stadium, they are biting the bullet and moving to the smaller venue.

lol

Alan Colmes invokes Pat Robertson, says the rain is G_D’s fault. LOLOLOLOLOL

[DBrow]

Gotta have valid picture ID to get in. Naturally they can’t find 50,000 democrats.

[MrB]

He has to express his “puzzlement”, or simply ignore the discrepancy, or else the Ministry of Truth will come down hard on him.

Maybe Fauxcahontas can do a rain dance to make heap big downpour on Thursday evening.

[kevkrom]

It ain’t the “weather”, but the “whether”, as in “whether they can fill enough seats as to not embarrass themselves”.

[D-fendr]

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said, Tuesday:

“We plan to be there rain or shine…”

[twister881]

If the GOP had any sand (which they don’t), they would fill the stadium w/ their own supporters and give a speech under clearing skies.

Maybe this is a job for the Tea Party?

[muawiyah]

Once the Secret Service realized what Karl Rove had proposed (murdering Representative Akin), they undoubtedly talked the Democrats into going indoors for the speech.

Not that Karl was a threat to Obama but the whole idea someone could threaten to do a political murder with no repercussions from any quarter, and that political professionals might be involved probably chilled them right down to their little toes.

So, thanks Karl, now it'll look like the Democrats have a crowd rather than a half empty stadium~~~

[concerned about politics]

Maybe Fauxcahontas can do a rain dance to make heap big downpour on Thursday evening.

LOL

[Rennes Templar]

lol!

[UCANSEE2]

“What are your plans for the disappointed tens of thousands of people who will be milling around in the rain?”

No need to worry. They are still at the stadium.

[LouAvul]

Bwahaha...do they really think we believe the weather story??????

His constituents do.

[UCANSEE2]

"The boss said, 'find a reason we can't use the stadium. Cost is no object.' Well... I hope they don't mind the water bill."

[UB355]

Actually the CMS was to be a Labor Day welome event which they cancelled due to lack of funds.
