The Obamessiah Has Lost His Touch

WELCOME TO THE “HOUSE BARACK COULDN’T FILL”
Despite an improving weather forecast, Democrats have decided to abandon Bank of America stadium and move U.S President Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at this year’s Democratic National Convention indoors. Rather than speaking at the 74,000-seat outdoor stadium, Obama will instead accept his party’s nomination in the 20,000-seat Time Warner Cable Arena.

“?We have been monitoring weather forecasts closely and several reports predict thunderstorms in the area, therefore we have decided to move Thursday?s proceedings to Time Warner Cable Arena to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and convention guests,” the convention’s CEO said in a statement.

Not surprisingly this move has prompted widespread speculation that the party was unable to fill Bank of America stadium – which is named after one of the main beneficiaries of the bank bailouts Obama supported. Given the disdain for the president in the surrounding areas - even among Democrats - this doesn’t surprise us in the least.
