Obama will return to football stadium for convention speech
(CNN) – Hoping to summon the energy surrounding his 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention, President Obama will again accept his party’s nomination for president next September at a football stadium that seats nearly 80,000 people.
The president will deliver his acceptance speech at Bank of America Stadium – home of the Carolina Panthers – in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Democratic National Convention Committee announced Tuesday. In 2008, Obama accepted his party’s nomination at Denver’s Mile High Stadium (home of the Denver Broncos) instead of the much smaller Pepsi Center, where the rest of the convention was held.

100 people showing up in South Kakalakee for a Romney rally...he really knows how to draw a crowd.
This is going to give the conservative talking heads more nonsense to complain about. Good move by Democrats. Let the conservatives rattle on about the cost of filling stadiums all they want. If their candidate could do it, they would lease a stadium, too.
We'll be there Mr. President!!!
Obama 2012. Seriously America.
Great. Charlotte, N.C. is my hometown. A lot of smart people there. I can't wait.
Go Mr. President!
I can't wait to see those tacky Greek columns again.
I wouldn't open my blinds if this clown was speaking in my backyard. What an embarassment to our country. Can't wait to vote him out !
Yes, yes, we would expect nothing less than a grand spectacle with Obama at the center. A grand display of smoke and mirrors to mask his long list of failures. Will he be inviting all of the millions of people he has kept unemployed with his policies??? Somehow I doubt it.
While those of us who can't be there in person, we'll be with you heart and soul!! YOU GO MR. PRESIDENT!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
All Obama has to do is play the political adds the PAC organizations are running against the Republican candidates......... Come election time he can use THEIR own attack adds against them................

Fair is Fair....good to see that you were watching the last speech.....hope you tune in for this one also....if not, I here fox will repeating all of the Republican debates it hosted on the night Obama gives his acceptance speech...I know, not a hard choice, I would want to hear those Republican clowns debate again either.
And how much is the DNC going pay people to attend? The large crowds are gone; the country knows what Obama is and his legacy of Failures is well documented.

====================================================
He's already paid all of his union bosses BILLIONS so you can be sure this will be a union-paloser paid for by our tax dollars, that were given to the unions via the stimulus, taken from the workers in dues, and sent right back to the Obama campaign.
I wonder if obama will descend from the Mount to stand between the Greek columns and speak to his minions, er, I mean subjects again?
