Dems bring in crowds by the busload to fill stadium for Obama speech
College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party’s national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.
If the only way they can get butts in the seats, is to bus them in, I’d say they have a very serious problem. I wonder…are they gonna pay those people for their time wasted as well? It’s really a shame that our education system has gone so far down the leftist tubes, the kids are being suckered into attending this non event. And what’s even more of a shame is that the ‘black churches’ have strayed so far from Bible teachings, that they are falling for his evil garbage….again! It’s not the color of his skin that makes the difference…it’s what is inside that skin. And Christian, it ain’t!
Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama’s crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies.
Obama advisers insist the stadium will be filled when Obama delivers his speech. Vice President Joe Biden also will speak Thursday night, along with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who will vouch for Obama’s national security credentials.
Oh yeah…I’d take the word of John Kerry over anyone else’s in a heart beat. /snark! Seriously? The guy that did nothing but lie through his ‘military’ career….he was in Vietnam y’know….cutting off ears, being someplace he wasn’t, etc.? I don’t flippin’ think so. If Kerry said the sky is blue, I’d make damn sure to check out ALL sources before I took his word for ANYTHING!
Thursday’s event is certain to draw comparisons to 2008, when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination before a capacity crowd at an 84,000-seat stadium in Denver. There was little concern back then over whether Obama would fill the stadium, in part because he was easily attracting tens of thousands of people to his campaign rallies across the country.
Will he have Moses parting the Red Sea? Or does he plan on doing it himself. 
This time around, Obama’s crowds are far smaller. He drew his biggest audience at his campaign kick-off rally in May, a 14,000-person crowd at Ohio State University. About 13,000 people attended Obama’s rally at the University of Colorado in Boulder Sunday.
Gee, I wonder if the crowds are smaller because people are so fed up with his BS? Seems to me that a great many people have figure it out….if his lips are moving, he is lying. It’s just that simple!
The campaign says the size of Obama’s events this summer have purposely been kept low. Large rallies are more expensive and security requirements are more intense for a sitting president than a candidate.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
In a June 2008 speech marking his victory in the Democratic primaries, Obama said generations from now, “we will be able to look back and tell our children that … this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
