Barack Obama spent $5.3 Million On The Stage and Lighting Used For His Coronation in Denver…
October 24, 2008 by PUMA Pundit
Personally, I did not waste my time watching Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver, a field he transformed into a Greek theater which shall go down in infamy as the Barackopolis.
It seems excessive even by narcissistic standards to spend $5.3 million dollars to construct a stage that was going to be used for one night and one night only, to deliver a speech that could have been delivered with the same impact at the Pepsi Center, where the rest of the convention was held.
I just hope that the media shows the same outrage and gives this the same exposure as it did to the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. Here are excerpts from the Denver Business Journal story on the convention:
The Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee said Thursday that $60.9 million was raised to stage the Democratic National Convention — well over the $40 million the city originally promised to raise.
Most of that money went to pay expenses of the Democratic National Convention Committee, the party organization that staged the DNC. Nine percent of the host committee’s money went to pay its own expenses, which included salaries, marketing and staging various events off the convention grounds.
Convention expenses paid by the committee included $14.1 million for construction costs, including the stage and lighting, at the Pepsi Center and $5.3 million at Invesco Field.
Who else stages elaborate coronation ceremonies? Why other narcissistic crooks of course…

Obama, in 2001 Interview, Lamented Failure of Civil Rights Movement to Redistribute Wealth
In a radio interview in 2001, Barack Obama said the civil rights movement failed when it became so dependent on the Supreme Court that it never got around to working toward redistributing income.
PUMA Pundit - the spending on that telecast was beyond ridiculous! He has gotten over $600M in contributions and has paid for how much in his fraudulent coronation - I thought he said that us Americans are suffering right now.
The only one that isn’t suffering appears to be him - perhaps he should be distributinng some of THAT wealth to his homeboys (along with Hollywood) instead of on the back of the real American workers.
