Obama Chooses Horribly Dangerous Setting For Election Night Speech, Yay!

by Jim Newell  

We commend the Secret Service agents assigned to Barack Obama, who have to put up with all of this INSANE crap he always announces a mere couple of weeks before big events, such as, “let’s not hold this historic rally in a safe, easily securable arena, let’s have it in a HUGE OPEN-AIR PLACE WITH GUNS EVERYWHERE.” Because the Obama campaign has chosen Chicago’s Grant Park, an enormous FIELD, as the venue for his election night rally, where he will deliver a speech, outdoors, in the dark. Why is Barack Obama trying to give everyone heart attacks? [The Swamp]

Is he a Mulin or is he the Pope? He has to pick one!

Remember the floating security robots y’all were in a tizzy fit about? Well, we’ll all wish ‘em godspeed…with their special armamemt of Hellfire missiles and laser nose fixtures. I wouldn’t stand too close to a suspicious looking character in the crowd.

Tarheel October 21, 2008 at 2:00 pm

Well, at least it isn’t a hotel kitchen.

Hairy Reed October 21, 2008 at 2:01 pm

That’s a nice place. …with lots of concealing trees.

[re=141466]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: Sigh. Thanks for that.

Dave J. October 21, 2008 at 2:02 pm

If the Cubs/Dodgers series showed anything, it’s that Chicago residents can’t hit anything at night.

Heyyyyoooooo!

Gopherit October 21, 2008 at 2:02 pm

Rainbows and unicorns are impervious to bullets.

…John McCain will perform is election night speech in the middle of a cemetery. So after he has conceited he can immediately be entombed and buried.

JeffGoldblum October 21, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Doesn’t matter. By the time Obama makes his victory speech he’ll already have all of us in his Madrasa Prison Labor Terrorist/Communist/Muslin Death Camps. So… Moot.

freakishlystrong October 21, 2008 at 2:03 pm

“Horribly Dangerous” would be Hill Country, NC. Overrun with bears.

Tommy Says Soooo October 21, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Jim, get a grip, man. The Nation of Islam and Orange Squirrels will provide security. Ain’t no brothers will want to off him, and any crazy whitey that ain’t afraid of the NoI deserves to get his balls nibbled off by the Squirrels.

shortsshortsshorts October 21, 2008 at 2:04 pm

Don’t worry. Barry is a trained elitist killing machine. He has eyes all over his body and knows 12 forms of Marshall Arts. He once killed a man with his eyes who was standing 50 yards away. He’s one bad ass mother *shut yo mouth*.

Hairy Reed October 21, 2008 at 2:05 pm

[re=141480]Gopherit[/re]: What about magic bullets?

Dientes October 21, 2008 at 2:05 pm

It is o.k. Ayers will bomb the hell out of anyone that tries to hurt his terrorist friend Hopey.

Lazy Media October 21, 2008 at 2:09 pm

But Chicago has strict gun-control laws. He’d have to be safe there, no?

SeminoleInDior October 21, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Grant Park is quickly becoming my favorite place in the Chi. First it was Stevie Wonder. Then it was Kanye West. Now, it’s Hopey! My head (and genitals) might explode if I see the Hopester in the same place! Since Indiana is in the EST, I will fly like the wind on one of the magical campaign unicorns to make it to the party. Too.Much.Excitement! Back to calling Hope-filled volunteers.

JeffGoldblum October 21, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Barack Obama’s victory speech = walk onto stage, drain a few 3′s, obligatory god bless whoever, fireworks, done.

tunamelt October 21, 2008 at 2:11 pm

[re=141475]Tarheel[/re]: Now a construction site for a school!

Gopherit October 21, 2008 at 2:12 pm

[re=141488]Hairy Reed[/re]: Catch-22. Only a unicorn can sell you magic bullets.

Gopherit October 21, 2008 at 2:14 pm

[re=141507]tunamelt[/re]: Tell me it’s not Sirhan Sirhan Elementary.

NoWireHangers October 21, 2008 at 2:15 pm

Well, if he’s got the Chicago Police on his side, any would-be assassins will be thoroughly beaten and gassed.

WIDTAP October 21, 2008 at 2:16 pm

[re=141485]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Sure. That’s what Cyrus said in Central Park, and man wasn’t it a bitch to get home after that fiasco.

user-of-owls October 21, 2008 at 2:19 pm

Look out Barry! It’s Da Bears!

Canmon (the Inadequate) October 21, 2008 at 2:19 pm

It reminds me of that movie The Warriors.

Grant Park is famous for being the place with the fountain from the beginning of Married With Children.

Varchar October 21, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Forget Hopey. Grant Park is a dangerous place at night for ANYONE!

WIDTAP October 21, 2008 at 2:21 pm

[re=141530]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Get out of my head! Damn you!

Canmon (the Inadequate) October 21, 2008 at 2:26 pm

[re=141537]WIDTAP[/re]: Beat me to the punch.

BobLoblawLawBlog October 21, 2008 at 2:35 pm

[re=141478]Dave J.[/re]: Win.

Madeline October 21, 2008 at 2:39 pm

November 4. In Chicago. At night. Prediction: 37 degrees with freezing rain.

azw88 October 21, 2008 at 2:42 pm

[re=141466]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: WIN!

Obama: Can you count, suckers? I say, the future is ours… if you can count!
Now, look what we have here before us. We got the Hilarites sitting next to the Bidenauts. We’ve got the Kucinich Kids right by the Richardson Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. That… is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to be. Can you dig it?

Obamananiacs: Yeah.

Obama: Can you dig it?

Obamananiacs: Yeah!

Obamananiacs: YEAH!

I’m with Madeline. It’s not the bullets that will get him; it’s the weather.

[re=141521]WIDTAP[/re]: Just got to get past the dudes dressed up as Ron Guidry and all will be fine.

azw88 October 21, 2008 at 2:45 pm

[re=141585]Madeline[/re]: Perfect, since many people have said either “I’ll vote for a black man when hell freezes over!” or “Hell will freeze over before a Black man is elected President”

WIDTAP October 21, 2008 at 2:47 pm

[re=141595]Min[/re]: Damn, It’s 1841 all over again.

Street Organizer October 21, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Hint: They never said he would “physically” be in the field delivering this speech. Barry will be running the United States from the safety and privacy of his luxury spaceship. His image will be beamed down onto the stage for this and all subsequent “appearances”.

azw88 October 21, 2008 at 2:51 pm

[re=141595]Min[/re]: You mean, he’ll give a 2 hour speech in a blizzard like THIS FOOL and die?
Obama is smarter than that, he’ll wear a coat, quite likely a bear-skin coat (which would explain recent events in Carolina)

Fivetree October 21, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Bobby Kennedy was shot in an enclosed space. A kitchen in fact, so I don’t see what the problem is here. He was always going to be outside somewhere you know. There needs to be a place where you can shoot off fireworks – cause that sucka’s gonna win! I’m just sayin’

Min October 21, 2008 at 2:54 pm

[re=141614]azw88[/re]: Maybe we should all chip in and buy Barry a hat.

Kinbote October 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

[re=141591]WIDTAP[/re]: I hear he’s The One and Only.

DoctorCulturae October 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm

I wish he’d stay in Hawaii till 20 Jan 09 when he appears in DC in an invisible 2 feet thick full body protective armor, courtesy of the Gleeptrons of Alpha Cetrifujex 5g3.

pdiddycornchips October 21, 2008 at 3:06 pm

This idea is really a part of his economic recovery plan. He figures that forcing three hundred thousand poor inner city people to sit in sub zero weather for six or eight hours will likely kill off 15% of them, thus saving the federal government millions in welfare, medicaid and free cheese.

magic titty October 21, 2008 at 3:16 pm

If we can all get nekkid, I just might go!

Min October 21, 2008 at 3:18 pm

[re=141657]Paradise[/re]: I don’t see why not. Although “funny pope hat” is a bit redundant.

JadedDIssonance October 21, 2008 at 3:31 pm

HOPETOPIA!! WOO! I’ll totally be there. Oh, and I’m sitting in a Miami Starbucks trying to get a VIP ticket to the Great One’s rally tonight.

Doglessliberal October 21, 2008 at 3:32 pm

[re=141585]Madeline[/re]: sounds like DC!

WIDTAP October 21, 2008 at 3:39 pm

[re=141672]magic titty[/re]: Then I’m out. Shrinkage in Chicago is a bitch.

Hey man, he handled the Tiergarten in Berlin.

[re=141486]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: “Marshall” Arts? Would that be Gary or Penny? Or Peter?

AnnieGetYourFun October 21, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Thank goodness he’s not going to win. I’d be worried if all those secretely racist voters weren’t going to turn tail and vote for McCain come election day.

Sabre_Justice October 21, 2008 at 5:54 pm

Obama will kick back the bullets. In slow motion. In real time. And then fly away into the sky and talk to his space father.

Jukesgrrl October 22, 2008 at 5:48 am

Hey, a lot of liberals got their heads cracked open in Grant Park. I know it was a long time ago, but it’s never too late for Hopey to even out the karma. Take that Dead Mayor Daley.

jlindquist October 22, 2008 at 8:09 pm
