The Cavaliers refused the President's Campaign permission to use the UVa as a speech/rally venue.  



Reasons cited:

  • The use of either of the desired sites would require closing buildings adjacent to the sites for the entire day.



  • The cancellation of 186 classes would occur
    if the site is the Amphitheater or closing of the libraries and Newcomb
    dining if the site is the Harrison-Small plaza. This would result in an
    extraordinary disruption of the second day of the new semester.



  • In addition to the disruption to classes, the University would have to bear the full cost of security — a substantial and open-ended expenditure of staff time and money.



  • By University policy, we would also have to
    offer the same accommodations and bear the same costs for other
    candidates.  Both our federal and state tax-exempt status requires that
    we not favor any candidate.



  • The Secret Service will have final approval
    on the site chosen and will dictate the security requirements, but at a
    minimum the buildings adjacent to the event venue would need to be
    closed on Aug. 29.  Adjacent buildings will be searched and secured with
    officers posted in each starting at least 6 hours prior to the event.

God I love my state!

Obama can ask if the Museum of the Confederacy will host him.  I think they can take about 50 people and that's more than enough.

Nah, go ahead and pile more in and maybe the porch will collape around him. It was sort of rickety looking the last time I visited.

Intel should have said No to Obama when he visited Phoenix... Something like 5,000 workers had to miss a day of work with no pay so he could give a speech about how great he is for creating more jobs at Intel...

ETA: Good job for Virginia!

I think it's pathetic that campaigns don't pay for their own security.

There is a town that is still trying to get paid for costs incurred in 2008 from Obama. Another city in California billed Obama and Romney this year because costs were too high...

Romney paid.

Obama didn't.

UVA is pretty much a privately funded institution anyway. The law school in particular has money that makes Scrooge McDuck look like a pauper, and they could not give a shit less if somebody takes away their tiny slice of public money. Actually, they might even like it, as they wouldn't have to deal with all the BS and strings that come with it.

Biden would be better for that venue as they have that big slave exhibit in there. Maybe the museum would let him use the shackles and chains as props.

Obama was here like last year, year before, campaigning for Tom Perriello. They were downtown in an outdoor pavilion we have, a coupe miles from UVA. There is still a chance he will come if they can find a suitable spot. C'ville is FULL of artsy - fartsy libs but as soon as you get out of town, a town of only 45K without the students, the surrounding area is as red as red can be. :)

I wouldn't call the whole state fire truck red.  Don't forget about southwestern Virginia.  There are a lot of old hardcore Democrats down there.  A lot of them have been voting Democrat so long that they didn't notice when the parties changed.  My grandpa, who passed away in March, was a good example.  He was a retired union coal miner.  He punched a straight Democrat ticket every election because that was what he had done for years and it was what the UMWA told them to do.  

What I could never understand it how coal miners could vote for people that openly say they want to destroy the coal industry.
