Sara Libby ?@SaraLibby
Being caught on a packed sidewalk in a sudden downpour makes me think maybe there was something to this stadium venue change.

It was moved because they knew that God would probably strike them with lightning.

in a sudden downpour in your boat on the lake, You'll know from then on out what a serious downpour is all about, I shit you not. That I will guarantee you. Possibly someone on the Obama team has had the misfortune to have been.

It's gonna rain cats and dogs until President Obama takes the stage ... then the clouds will part and the moon will shine through.

How would that be for cosmic statements?

I was listening to him while I was put on hold during a phone call.

Hannity could sit in the stadium during the storm and a bolt of lightning could strike him and he would still insist that Obama moved the venue for lack of attendance.

Yeah Sean. When I've seen bigger venues fill up for past Obama events, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have filled the Charlotte stadium tonight in one of the biggest events in Obama's presidency.

Hannity and his ilk are resorting to this juvenile talk because it's all they have to work with. Between Ryan getting called out on lies (maybe they should have used that national debt counter to keep track of Ryan's lies during his address), the absence of former GOP top ticketholders Bush and Cheney, and Clint Eastwood talking to a chair...what else can you do if you're Hannity?
