President Skybox: Obama may move final night of DNC to Bank of America Stadium

Occupy Chicago, October, 2011

How is this for irony: Not only is President Obama, who has nodded in favor of the socialist Occupy Wall Street crowd, considering moving the final night of the Democratic National Convention to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, his motivation is not that so more people can see him in person accept the nomination of his party--but rather, to sell more skyboxes to wealthy donors.

More from Bloomberg:

The almost 74,000-seat home of the Carolina Panthers professional football team would also have room for the convention to sell more floor passes close to the stage. Planners for the event are struggling to meet a $36.6 million fundraising goal, according to the Democrats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter.

Obama;s advisers are aware of the political downside of the president delivering his nationally televised acceptance in a stadium named for a bank that considered imposing a fee that he said would have "mistreated" customers, they said.

That would be outweighed by the chance to lure more big-dollar contributors, including corporate foundations, to cover the convention’s costs, the three Democrats said. The rest of the convention, scheduled to begin Sept. 3, will be conducted at the Time Warner Cable Arena.

It will be OWS' demonized "one percent" who will be buying those skyboxes and front row seats to witness the Oracle reemerge.
