Have to say it: not enough buses to bring in the worshipers.

Couldnt give enough tickets away

Not enough TSA goons to pat down everyone

Not enough vegetables to feed them (thanks Michelle)

Nobody to buy the Tbonds to pay for the Venue


another snippet:

"who signed up for community credentials to be there with the president in person."

you have to have 'community credentials' to meet the president (or go to an event where he is). Facism at its finest. Soon you will have to bring gifts and bow when entering the building.

Didn't want to take the chance of lightning striking them down for lying so much, I guess.

The optics of God striking down the DNC aren't very conducive to re-election.

[smithtg]

never thought about the lightning! More probable than dying on a crashing airplane (with or without the TSA)

Republicans also cancled much of their program due to weather issues. Not a big deal.
