A Look Inside Invesco Field Awaiting the Messiah's Speech

ABC News reporters arrested outside Denver hotel

Since when can't people take pictures in public?! The Democratic National Convention means that there is no more freedoms. Journalists and the rest of the public can't do their jobs, they only can praise the Democrats and the most merciful lord Barack Obama. We must all be in the tank and not question anything.

Below is the ABC News article about the arrests.

ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors
Asa Eslocker Was Investigating the Role of Lobbyists and Top Donors at the Convention

Aug. 27, 2008

DENVER--Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.

A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.

Eslocker was put in handcuffs and loaded in the back of a police van which headed for a nearby police station.

Video taken at the scene shows a man, wearing the uniform of a Boulder County sheriff, ordering Eslocker off the sidewalk in front of the hotel, to the side of the entrance.

The sheriff's officer is seen telling Eslocker the sidewalk is owned by the hotel. Later he is seen pushing Eslocker off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, forcing him to the other side of the street.

About 15 minutes later, on-duty Denver police arrived and placed Eslocker under arrest after Eslocker asked why he was being ordered away from the front of the hotel. Dozens of pedestrians can be seen walking by the hotel, located in the heart of downtown Denver.

Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.

Obama now believes he is a god

Barack Obama, the most merciful messiah of the world, now believes he is truly a "god." His campaign, or the DNC, has constructed a Greek temple or to some a Roman temple where he will speak on Thursday at Invesco Field. Just read the article and see how goofy this really is. What a joke.

Obama Speech Stage Resembles Ancient Greek Temple
August 26, 2008

DENVER (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.

The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.

Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.

He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.

The show should provide a striking image for the millions of Americans watching on television as Obama delivers a speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

Politicians in past elections have typically spoken from the convention site itself, but the Obama campaign liked the idea of having their man speak to a larger, stadium-sized crowd not far from where the Democratic National Convention is being held, at the Denver pro basketball arena.

Obama was taking a page from the campaign book of John Kennedy in 1960 when the future president delivered his acceptance speech to 80,000 people in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.

Democratic convention organizers said the theme for the evening is "Change We Can Believe In," which has been a consistent message of Obama's presidential campaign.

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem that night.

Many Clinton Advisers Skipping Obama Speech in Denver

Clinton Advisers Skipping Obama Speech
By Matthew Mosk, Washington Post

A number of Sen. Hillary Clinton's top advisers will not be staying in Denver long enough to hear Barack Obama accept the nomination for president, according to sources familiar with their schedules.

Clinton will deliver her speech Tuesday night. She will hold a private meeting with her top financial supporters Wednesday at noon, and will thank her delegates at an event that afternoon. Former president Bill Clinton will speak that night. Several of Hillary Clinton's supporters are then planning to leave town. Among them, Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's campaign chairman, and longtime supporters Steve Rattner and Maureen White. Another of Clinton's top New York fundraisers, Alan Patricof, did not make the trip to Denver.

Robert Zimmerman, a Clinton supporter who is trying now to navigate between the two camps, will be staying for Obama's speech. But he said in an interview that it would be unrealistic to expect there would not still be some tension between the two camps -- he noted that the same was true with supporters of Gary Hart and, to a lesser extent, Howard Dean.

"This convention provides a very important opportunity for the Obama campaign to bond with the constituencies that supported Hillary Clinton," Zimmerman said. "It's not about Barack or Hillary. It's about bringing in the people here who voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Senator Obama and Senator Biden are, without question, qualified to do that."

Protests begin as DNC Convention is ready to kick off

Some protestors say to "stop occupying Puerto Rico and Hawai'i." When a Fox News reporter went to ask a protestor why he is walking in the march he replied saying, "f*** Fox News" and soon a chant around him followed with the same three words. Notable people at the protest are Cindy Sheehan, Ward Churchill and Green Party Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney were speakers. These speakers and many others made anti-war statements, anti-Democratic Party statements and radical-left statements. The protesters are calling themselves "Recreate '68."

John Edwards Admits Affair, Denies Child

Well, it turns out that the National Enquirer was right. John Edwards has finally admitted to having an extramarital affair with a former staffer and campaign filmmaker, Rielle Hunter. As he campaigned for president he has repeatedly denied the rumor of the affair. It is highly unlikely now that Edwards will speak or even be at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in late August. Also it is likely that he will have to forfeit his delegates.

Obama To Have Open Convention at "Mile High"

Barack Obama is letting people see the messiah in person, and for free, at Denver's Invesco Field at Mile High on Thursday Aug. 28.

He is inviting people, through pay of over $5, to see him, so it's not exactly "free" but don't tell the messiah that.

And, there is a chance that the 10 people selected will have some say in what Obama says to the thousands in attendance and I'm sure millions across the country through television.

The messiah is sounding more and more like some other people who have ran for political office. You know, those people who people thought could be the anti-christ, such as Adolf Hitler. Hitler went to large venues to speak before he became ruler of Germany.

I don't want to compare Obama to Hitler, but there are some coincidences. I'm sure Obama is a good man, but he is in love with himself a little too much and why does he need more money if he is so wealthy from the prior money-grabbing campaigns.

Keep in mind that Obama has not even been in the United States Senate for a full term. He was elected in 2004 and it takes six years to complete a full term. So what does he know? But afterall, he is the messiah and he can do no wrong.
