Party Like a BarackStar
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
Barack Obama wants all you Democrats to know that the upcoming convention is yours, not his.
According to his campaign, on Thursday, August 28th, the Presidential hopeful is scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.
BUT, instead, Obama will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.
Free tickets will become available as the date approaches.
If you make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to fly to Denver and spend two days and nights at the convention, meet Barack backstage, and watch his acceptance speech in person.
Each of the ten supporters who are selected will be able to bring one guest to join them.
Sweet.
Nice that Barack is thinking outside the box and really building some major buzz.

Hillary 2012

FIRST!!!! YAY!!!!
Obama 2008
WOO I LOVE OBAMA
Can't believe I am FIRST! Anyway, what a scam this is - if you are the first time $5 donner, they are not going to pick you. They will probably pick those who have been donating. Anything to trick people in giving their hard earned money away…
I still can't stand him and I'm a Democrat.
Re: Cayce – And McDummy is for gay marriage?Hell no,that old senile moron is against it as well.Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States.
Hillary has the same experience as Barrack. Hillary IS NOT BILL CLINTON What makes her qualified? Politically when int comes to "public service" ingeneral her and Barrack have similar track records. How long has Hilar been a Senator? Hillary lost, she's a phony and a crybaby get over it. If you want the same shit as Bush stick to Macain he sided w/ bush 95% of the time.If your tiredof this shit vote Obama. I want m brother and cousin home NOW! THREE TOURS OF DUTY IS ENOUGH!!!!
They should serve Jones Soda "Yes We Can Cola" for Obama! taht would be awesome
I am a Democrat but I will be voting for McCain in 08.
OK, now I'm confused…
what is a website???
McCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still wish they'd auction off a chance to take a crack at Michelle's crack.
Did you say he was thinking outside the box?
It's another GD fund raiser and you think that's Obama
thinking outside the box?
Grow up, please.
McCain is going to win, sorry Obama.
Great…Obama is treating this like a high school election…and America is falling for it.
I would normally watch the democratic thing but now that its Obama vs McCain, I have decided to vote for McCain in 08.
Democrats for McCAIN in 08!!!!!!!!!
Re: hotki –
You expect a Democratic Presidential candidate screaming for change to be for gay marriage. Unfortunately, you also expect Republicans to be against it, so no I am not surprised McCain opposes it. However, I am surprised Obama does, but then again he is trying to win over the evangelical vote, and he is saying all that he can to do that, so, maybe he doesn’t really mean it.
We went to the convention in Boston and it sucked. All the parties sucked too.
McCain 08!!!!!!!!!
Barack Obama' 08
Democrats for McCain are protesting this thing.
McCain in 08!!!!!!!!! I switched, and you should too.
Re: Nodem –
The man has raised money honestly and fairly and not gone into debt winning the democratic election he doesn't need to TRICK pple to get $ from them. Hillary went into to debt trying to buy this election and guess what… the People have spoken for he got the big bucks behind his campaign.
Just another democrat thinking of ways to get people to open their wallets. I love how gullable people are… do you really think that Obama is going to make everything better???? Give me a break, the USA will be in shambles if this guy ever gets elected.
I just made my donation! It would be awesome to win one of the 10 spots.
Obama's a fraud. Do your research, the media doesn't tell you the truth about him. I'm a dem and will be voting McCain 08!
Re: Laura – Of coarse,you're a bitter female that can't get over the fact that Hillary lost.So to spite the man that beat her, you'll vote for old man winter.The funny part about all of this is that the Republican party doesn't like McDummy much.People should ask why that is.Maybe because he said "The Economy?I don't know much about that,i need to improve in that area".
If you vote for this maggot, then may your soul be eaten by worms
What a communist that douche bag obama is. I'll never support someone who wants to tax my freedom away.
He worries me, i hope he has tight security. I am afraid something will happen to him.
No thanks…will you be advertising for the Republican convention???? Of course not…
Re: Dan – You are a smart person…
The only way I'd vote for Obama is if he paid me more money than he intends to tax me over the next 4 years.
Barack is a douche! He doesn't sing the National Anthem or cover his heart. WTF?!?!?! It's the little things Barack!! Yes we can…but should we?
OBAMA in 2008!
We are the change we've been waiting for!
*Don't let your racist views affect everyone else in America, its time we unite and realize in the end- we are all human…and we aren't that different from eachother.
YES WE CAN….UNITE FOR CHANGE!!!!!
bARACK OBAMA IN 2008!
Re: Jill – You just said it. His economic policy is the worst since freakin' Carter. Just want a dem thinks…"Its OK to tax the shit out of the people when they're already down & out…yes, we, the government, can spend your hard-earned money better than you." No thanks…I prefer to not have any government intervention in my daily life…
Re: Sugar – Its Barack HUSSEIN Obama. HHMMM????
Obama's a lightweight and a communist to boot. Fuck him.
It's amazing what people perceive to be experience and knowledge in this day and age…while I'm sure he's a nice person THAT'S NOT A QUALIFICATION FOR BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE PRESIDENT.
I'm voting for McCain but I can at least recognize that the difference between these two candidates is nil, anyone who thinks otherwise (ie that Obama will actually "CHANGE" anything), is sleepwalking through this election and life. They're both the same when it comes down to it- crooked, rich, will sell you out to get what they want…etc etc
Obama spent 143 days in the US Senate before deciding he was ready to be President. 143 days, people! You gonna give a guy with 6mos training the keys to the White House. You must be insane!
The more you are taxed the more you lose your freedom. Obama is bad for America.
If you visit Denver for the Convention please remember to return home and stay there! We don't need or want any more people moving out here!! Thank you.
That commie bastard can suck suck my cock!
Once these two start debating.Obama will wipe the floor with that gueezer.People will see McDummy fumbling his words as usual and see that he doesn't know much about the Economy (He admits this, LOL) and Obama's already widening lead in the polls (7%) will get wider.And then McCain supporters will say polls don't really matter. **Rolls Eyes**
He's just a typical politician who can speak well. Drink the koo laid bozos!
Jeff- OLD MAN WINTER??? It's ok to have ageism run rampant in this country, as well as sexism…but we can't be racist. Kind of backwards, don't you think?
If you have to attack candidates based on their gender, age, or (eeek!) race, then your arguments are weak and should be ignored. Grow up and argue like an adult.
(And if you think McCain is an old fart, you might want to google his war experience. Maybe his 5 years as POW is why he's so tired and crotchety? Would YOU be able to withstand what he went through?) STICK TO THE ISSUES
GO BARACK!
Are there really that many suckers buying what Obama is selling? Really? Obama? Please!
Re: Bella –
Are you kidding me? You dislike Barack Obama simply because his middle name isn't presumably American enough for you? How disgusting.
Obama '08
Re: Cayce – While I understand that gay marriage is an important issue here in the states, I do not think politcally, gays have enough support in government in general to get support for key gay issues. Obama is not on the far left of the Democratic scale and to be honest this two party system is what is dragging the US down b/c your stuck choosing the "lesser of two evils" and not a candidate that speaks on everything you think government should be. Good luck finding that.
ALSO: since gays for the most part hate Bible thumpers why take a biblical term such as "marriage" what's wrong with civil union? I know both are unequal but ONCE made Equal in defintion if this is what gays want, why still object to the term of Civil union? I go back and forth with my gay friends on that and don't get it. If civil unions were to be the same in definition of marriage why push for the term that carries a religious undertone?
Obama is all show no substance.
I am voting for McCain in 08!!!! And I am not the only one who is going to be either.
I think of Obama every time I spend $80 filling up my gas tank. No thank you!
Re: jeff –
No I am a female who actually looks at the issues and I can see past all of Obama's stupid gimmicks to see that he stands for nothing but himself. If I were a male writing this you could accuse me of being a racist. The only thing Obama does is accuse people who oppose him.
McCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!
Peepee you're an idiot. This isn't a rock convention - this is to elect a POTUS that will inherit many problems, and Barack Star is on the wrong side of most of the issues. Gay has infected your pea brain.
Hussein "community orgainzed" the south side of Chicago. Guess what, it's still looks and smells like the south side of Chicago. No Miracles happened in S Chicago. Hussein did get Shelly a $200,000 a year job and a million dollar home with the help of a slumlord that's now on his way to prison. Now that's change baby from the most corrupt city in America. Here's to Hope and Change. Where's my REPARATIONS!
Re: Be Ad – RICH? He just finished paying off his Student loan two months ago. McCain is the one with the wealthy young wife that he left his first wife for.
Its sad when a presidential election is manipulated by the propaganda of the media. The liberal media is always praising how great he is, but if you have been watching the news lately then you would know that he is now saying he doesnt know when he is going to have troops leave Iraq, accepting public funds, and becoming more moderate. Not to mention his racist preacher that he had been going to for 30 YEARS!!! BS that he never heard his racist tirades.
He has ZERO EXPERIENCE IN ANYTHING!!!
If you read the New York Times this week, you would know that they are even beginning to criticize Obama.
barack obama has no experience. what has he done in the four years he has been a senator….NOTHING!!!! Most people just like him because it is "cool" to be liberal…they don't even know the facts.
Re: Bella –
Yes I am a smart one. Do you even have a valid reason for supporting Obama.
FYI, saying, "He is for change!" is a stupid answer and makes every intelligent person in the room laugh at you. Obama has no idea what he is doing, he served in the senate for 143 days. That does not make him qualified to do ANYTHING!!!
Obama is the black G.W Bush and look how that worked out.
McCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!
his EGO is HUGE. Loser
No thanks. I perfer a President who is a stateman something Obama is definately not.
1 of 10 people who give $5 get invited to a 75000+ seat stadium???
I don't call that giving to the people,
10 people!?!
C'mon he is just the same as all of them…the rich get in first, the dem leaders get in second, the delegates and their friends get in third, then there are 20 seats left?
Vote for "none of the above"!!
Re: jeff –
Are you serious??? Take away Obama's script and telepromptor and he's a stuttering fuck
this is stupid
perez– why cover only one side of this story? To buy a ticket with Obama to the convention you have to max out (58K) plus raise 100K to get credentials. while he is going great attracting small dollars, this campaign is still playing the old dollars for access politics. dems will outraise republicans 2 or 3 to 1 in this election. how much money do they need to still waffle on the most important issues of our generation?
Re: kris –
HEY KRIS… GO IN THE BATHROOM AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR… YOU'VE GOT THE WORD "SUCKER" WRITTEN ON YOUR FOREHEAD.
You know Perez, Obama's church of 20 years don't like them fornicators and sodomites. So you best think carefully when pulling the lever come election day the Reverand Wright is Obama's mental and spitual shadow even though Obama claims he's not.
I understand he's already re-decorating the Lincoln bedroom! Wow, what a guy, he's a decorator too!
Re: Be Ad – I could care less what happened to McDummy 40 years ago! It doesn't make him the better candidate.And voting for someone because of that makes no sense.He's the guy who says he knows nothing about the Economy,wants to continue more tax breaks to the rich and raise taxes on the middle class (According to CNN).Obama wants to raise taxes for the rich and give tax breaks to the middle class(According to CNN).
Obama has taken the selling of the presidency to new and polluted heights.
wow, that's going to be cool to watch history in the making…
Re: Shay – If you pulled actual work days of most Senators that ACTUALLY show up for work, I bet you their days of ACTUAL work is LESS than that … while WE BUST OUR ASSES HOURLY THEY STILL COLLECT A FULL PAYCHECK! Do you know Senators are NOT OBLIGATED TO REPORT FOR DUTY? WHat does this say of our gov't?
Re: Jemba – Did you here McCaine's speech a month ago when he said he would veto that "Beer"(He meant Bill), BEER??. ROTFLMAO He's got the vocabulary of a 12 year old dog.
Re: jeff – AWWWWWWWW, what's the matter Jeff you have to resort to calling McCain a dummy because you have no rational argument to present. Throwing out insults is a sign of a dumb person. When you grow a pair come back and present your argument in a grown up manner and not some MoveOn or Codepink mantra.
Jeff- I can't even argue with you. You are way too emotional and condescending. Sorry.
Re: Julia – You SHould be thinking of BUSH for that!
Re: jeff – Quoting CNN is sad when there's so many other legitimate outlets rich in resource to tap for information. You're a dum dum Jeff.
Re: Jealo – Rational argument? Yeah,he's a dolt just like Bush and admits he knows nothing about the Economy.You know,the #1 issue in this year's election.What presidential candidate is dumb enough to say he knows nothing about the Economy? The answer,McCain & Bush!
Re: STOP – Julia is correct. President Bush has been trying to get an energy bill thru the Congress since he took office. He looks like a prophet to those of us who pay attention. He said this day would come and it has. The very FIRST thing he did, we need to start drilling and Alaska wants us to drill there!
Re: jeff – ROCK ON! I AGREE 100% McCain is a stuttering stumbling fool. He is boring to listen to and watch! I'd rather have someone that can talk w/ out an ear piece to feed his lines. Remember speec 101 Eye contact and memorization people. If it comes from the heart you don't need a PROMPTOR!
Re: huh – Actually you are if you vote for McCain!
John McCain is reptilian John McCain is reptilian John McCain is reptilian
John McCain is reptilian John McCain is reptilian John McCain is reptilian
He really isn't thinking outside the box; his pal Deval Patrick, gov. of Mass. had an open inauguration outside….just kind of copying him, I suppose…
Re: Shay – DOESN'T Take a GENIUS to know this would happen when you've innitiated a war with one of the world's biggest oil suppliers. The first Bush exploited Kuwait… too bad Bush Jr. didn't add that in the contract when negotiating "iraq's freedom"
Drilling in Alaska and destroying our planet even more is NOT the answer. For all the profits these oil companies made last year we need to find an altrenative fuel source that is earth friendly. If Brazil can do it SO CAN WE! Obama '08!!!
