Alas, there will be no stadium rally for Obama's acceptance speech.
The explanation for the venue change is a threat of thunderstorms.
From the Washington Post:
President Barack Obama’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech Thursday is changing venues due to “possible severe weather”.
“... aides say the entire program also will take place inside, including Vice President Joe Biden’s speech,” the AP reports.
The venue will move from the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte (where the Carolina Panthers play) to Time Warner Cable Arena says the Post’s Election 2012 Blog.
But in reality, the risk of thunderstorms and severe weather isn’t particularly high.
Brad Panovich, chief meteorologist for WCNC, the NBC affiliate in Charlotte, is questioning the decision.
“Severe threat is almost zero Thursday night & chance of rain is 20%” he tweeted.
He added: “It’s a simple question.. if you had a Panthers game, Concert or Soccer match with a 20% chance of storms would you cancel 24 hrs prior?”
Once again, reality bites Obama.
This excuse of thunderstorms cancelling the event, preventing allegedly tens of thousands from flocking to the BANK OF AMERICA Stadium, is a joke.
What an embarrassment!
If outdoor events were cancelled every time there's a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms, there would be no Summerfest, no ethnic fests, no church festivals, no State Fair in southeastern Wisconsin.
In Michelle Obama's address to the Democrat convention, she said that she and Obama learned about "honesty and integrity – that the truth matters."
Awkward.
If the truth matters, if the Democrats are being honest and showing integrity, they should not claim the venue change for Obama's speech has anything to do with thunderstorms.
Democrats need to stop lying to Americans. They really do. Lies don't go over well.
