Harlem is ready. Obama to appear at the Apollo Theatre tonight in front of a sold out crowd.

[flpoljunkie]

Harlem4Obama, a huge grassroots organization in Harlem, is hosting an afterparty at the Lenox Lounge with live jazz, so even if you can't get to the Apollo, be sure to head over to the Lenox Lounge after the event to see what the movement looks like in New York!

7. hey, we're supposed to have forgotten about that by now, ddin't you get the memo?

We are now to be in a state of breathtaking awe at the mere mention of His name.

19. You mean like he did with Bill Clinton at the 1992 DNC?

Funny how the Obama bashers conveniently forget facts like these.

:eyes:

4. I wish I could be there !

I know it's going to rock ! Both venues.

Also hope there's some documentation ( BET, C-Span ? )

[blm]

6. hey old buddy - I've been disappointed in BET's coverage. I called them a few times

Of course, my Cleveland nasal twang may have made them hit the mute button. ;))))

But, seriously, you would think after running the American Gangster documentary on Ricky Ross they would have put two and two together and realized that when Gary Webb's report on CIA drugrunning came out in 1996 that the president in office who obstructed the further investigation and stonewalled the documents was Bill Clinton who obviously was protecting Poppy Bush's secrecy and privilege over the right of American citizens to the truth about the targeting of black communities by Poppy bush's operatives who wanted to dump tons of cheap IranContra cocaine into their communities, triggering the crack epidemic of the 80s and 90s.

11. Bob Johnson: the ultimate sellout !

Took the money and ran...Big time Republican theses days. :evilfrown:

:hi:

[blm]

12. Johnson's backing Hillary. I should think Nelson George would have thrown a punch

over that one, considering what he knows from working on that documentary.

[jaysunb]

13. Surely you mean " Magic "

Cause "Big" Bob has been handing out big bucks to the GOP.

[blm]

14. Yes - but now he's with Hillary. He was at a Hillary fundraiser in Charlotte.

5. I would LOVE to see this ! Is it by any chance going to be broadcast anywhere??

[MzShellG]

15. I wish that is was...

Sounds amazing. And I would love to see him dancing at the after party. Can't wait until December 9th when he and Oprah comes to my city. I WILL be there!

[blm]

16. His bumperstickers are the ones popping up the most in NC.

[robinlynne]

10. I do believe that is going to be one great party. And I'm not even an Obamite.

[Chovexani]

21. Ditto.

They know how to throw them at the Apollo.

[blm]

17. Any word about this event being aired?

.

[AtomicKitten]

18. I would have given anything to be there. (nt)

[alteredstate]

20. Me, too!

But I'm attending the Obama/ Winfrey event next Sunday!

[AtomicKitten]
