The Last Word
Everyone will be forced to use their imaginations.
As the self-appointed Last Word Balloon correspondent (and self-appointed job title creator) — I have URGENT news concerning tomorrow's balloon-drop at the Democratic National Convention: IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!
Due to forecasted thunderstorms, President Obama's Thursday night address was moved from the Bank of America Stadium to the Time Warner Cable Arena. Because of the last minute change, there won't be enough time to execute a proper balloon drop.
While we mourn the loss of the 2012 DNC balloon drop — I do have one question — what will happen with all the balloons hanging out in the rafters of the Bank of America Stadium?

They will drop if Willard Mittens is elected president, in honor of the repeal of all banking regulations.
Here is the real skinny: the local meteorologists are forecasting one of the clearest days and evenings of the week for Thursday night. And even though the Dems were scrambling to bring in stadium Convention guests by the busload from other surrounding States to North Carolina due to low enthusasism levels with the Democrat supporters in that state (Romney leads by 5 points now), and the danger of a vengeful God of sending down a few lightening bolts just to see Obama dance in the stadium out of displeasure for having left him out of the platform and the convention, the truth is that the acoustics for the golden tones of King Obama were better in the Time-Warner Convention Hall...and the lighting.
As the baloons, they will be used to lift some of the treamendous weight of the now $16 Trillion in national debt off the backs of Americans and our moribund business sector, no doubt, if just for a brief moment for a sense of relief only!
Uhm why are you even on this page? go over and drink your Kool Aid at the Faux News Page...... Where was your anger when Bushy ran it up $10 Trillion? All of a sudden you are angry, cause Faux told you to be?

I think we were all duped. Volunteer for 9 hours and go see the president speak. Well, just found out that the credentials are not good for Time Warner. I would have been a volunteer anyway. I just feel we were used and abused and lied too. They have all our information and my phone is ringing off the hook asking who I am voting for. Some idiot just called to ask if I had a favorable opion of Michael Jordan and someone named Dale somebody. I could care less about either. I hate being used and I feel real used right now. I took the day off work tomorrow to attend this event.
Welcone to the club...part and partial of this White House treatment of all of us, Oldlady. Maybe you could call them and see if they need any help moving those fake Greek Doric Collumns made of plywood and styrofoam and the articial smoke machines they were planning to use for the BIG SPEECH in Bank of Ameica Stadium into Time-Warner Convention Hall as the show biz Rock Star President tries to recreate his Hope and Change night in Bronco's Stadium in 2008, with his new mantra, "Yes We Can, BUT..."
Ask yourselves truthfully, were these the people we were waiting for?
Best post on this thread. Next to mine!
D-bag alert Keith "I vote against my best interest" Longey is on the loose
Stuff happens. Mama always said make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
Expected thunderstorms were the excuse, but probably not the reason, that the event was moved. As for the balloons, let them go free. (The music, "Born Free" kicks in at this time.). Or, how about collecting the balloons and distributing them to local children's hospitals and nursing homes? And/or tie bunches of balloons to lampposts up and down the streets? (Born Free music fades.)
