Obama campaign American flag with Barack's logo replacing the stars

From the land of You've-Got-To-Be-Fucking-Kidding-Me???

What would you say if I told you that the Obama campaign took the US flag and replaced the stars with the Obama logo?
You'd think I was full of shit, and that I made it up.  Right?
Because only a cult would do something that dumb.

Well guess what?  Its a fucking cult.  Here's a screen grab:

Honestly... if I was at a meeting of Republicans and you told me that this had happened , I'd tell you to go check on Snopes, because you'd been had.
If I hadn't taken a look at it myself, I would have never believed it.
Remember when this happened, and they told us that it wasn't really authorized by the campaign?

Its a cult.
Say it with me:
Its a cult.

Obama's job record

I really can't state it better then Investor's Business Daily did in an editorial:

The White House, during its convention, repeatedly claimed to have "created" 4.5 million jobs. Leaving aside the fact that businesses, not government, create jobs, it's still factually incorrect.

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, payroll jobs in August totaled 133.3 million. The month Obama entered office, there were 133.561 million. So the number of jobs has shrunk.

Obama's convention speech moved back indoors on account of ego

Here's the official story according to the Daily Mail:

We have been monitoring weather forecasts closely and several reports predict thunderstorms in the area, therefore we have decided to move Thursday's proceedings to Time Warner Cable Arena to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and convention guests,' said convention chief Steve Kerrigan.

However, the weather doesn't sound that threatening:

The latest Weather Underground forecast for Charlotte on Thursday states that there is a 40 per cent chance of rain tomorrow and only the possibility of thurnderstorms: 'Overcast with a chance of a thunderstorm and a chance of rain..Chance of rain 40% with rainfall amounts near 4.8 mm possible.' The chances of rain in the evening drop to 30 per cent.

Huh.
So... there is a 40% chance of rain... of 4.8 millimeters of rain.
Or roughly ¹³⁄₆₄ of an inch of rain.  -And that's during the day.  At night, the chances of rain drop to 30 percent.

Do you suppose it could be that they're worried about filling 74,000 seats?  The Daily Mail thinks so, and it quotes a convention worker to back them up:

A convention worker told MailOnline on Tuesday: ‘It looks like a done deal to me. The decision’s apparently been taken and it’s just a matter of spinning it as being forced on us by the weather.’ As the source was speaking, Democrats were saying publicly the event would go ahead as planned. 

Interesting...

Dem Fundraiser runs for exit at DNC

I'm just going to suggest that if one of your fundraisers is running for an exit at your convention... it doesn't bode well for the ethics of your party:
