Obama Vs Children

From Yahoo:
"Teen Volunteers Disinvited From Obama Speech"

A pair of teenagers volunteered for 18 hours on the Obama campaign this summer to earn their golden tickets to President Obama's big speech at the Bank of America stadium Thursday night.

Today Madeline Frank, 16, and her brother Koby, 14, were told they've been disinvited and their tickets are no longer valid because the location of Obama's speech was moved from the 73,000 seat open air Bank of America Stadium to the smaller TimeWarner Cable Arena, which can hold about 21,000. The move was made because of a forecast of rain and thunderstorms. "I've been looking forward to this for a really long time," Madeline Frank of Charlotte, N.C., said today. "I am just feeling really let down and like bummed. It was kind of my dream to see him speak, so definitely really sad." Although she isn't old enough to vote, Madeline knocked on doors and canvassed her neighborhood for nine hours so she could see the president when he came to her hometown Thursday because she wanted to be part of the excitement in her city. The Obama campaign's "9-3-1? plan offered volunteers one ticket to Thursday's event in exchange for giving nine hours of their time over three days. "I definitely feel like they should not have promised all these people tickets if there was a chance that we couldn't actually use them," Frank said. She says a conference call, as the Obama campaign is planning for Thursday with President Obama for those sidelined, won't make up for actually being there. "It's so different than being there and being in there and seeing the excitement to hear him speak. It doesn't really make up for it." Her mother shares her disappointment, as she was looking forward to watching the speech, soaking in the spirit and excitement of the stadium with her children, especially after they worked so hard to earn tickets for the family. People streamed in and out of a DMC office today, confused about the change of venue and what that would mean for their Thursday night tickets. Volunteers outside said they were breaking many hearts by relaying information that it would mean most who held tickets would now not see their tickets honored.

^ I am shocked! Obama and his people lied. I just don't believe it. Not good, old Obama. So it isn't so. He has been telling us lies for 4 years. Promising things and then not delivering on them. The fact that this time it is against two children (among others) makes it even more poetic. I posted this on Facebook and one person compared him to the child catcher on "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." Even though this may not seem like a big deal to some I hope it helps show people to his true character. ^
