After my long battle getting National Urban League's President Marc Morial and two of his colleagues into the Time Warner Cable Arena (their DNC credentials were somewhere else) to interview on Syndication One News-Talk Radio Network's Warren Ballentine Show, a grateful former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial gladly takes a photo op with me. Morial promised a home-cooked meal with gumbo as the main entree' next time I am in New Orleans. I will surely take him up on that promise.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas arrives at the Time Warner Cable Arena on the night that President Obama spoke. Due to rain all the time during the Convention, President Obama changed the venue from the B of A Stadium to the Arena. Press Release and a conference call insured the tens of thousands that could not attend due to the venue change, that he would return to Charlotte before the Election November 6th.

Now 'Attorney' Sandra Fluke stopped by the DNC Radio Row to tell her story to the many shows including the Syn1 News-Talk Network. Atty Fluke was the one that was called a "Slut" by Radio Host Rush Limbaugh for requesting that Contraception be covered by the Catholic Georgetown University Insurance she attended and Health Insurance companies without co-pay.
Attorney Sandra Fluke tells her story to Syndication One News-Talk Radio Network's talk show host Warren Ballentine on how life has changed since being placed in the limelight by Rush Limbaugh calling her a "slut", and not being included to speak on the Conscience Clause exceptions in health care for both profit and non-profit organizations. The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee refused to allow the young lady to speak which enraged Democrats considering Fluke would have been the sole woman to speak on across-the-board covered contraception coverage (photo credit: Kirk Tanter).
Former RNC Chairman and the first Lt. Governor in the State of Maryland Michael Steele, shows up once again -- as he did in 2008 -- to take notes in his new role of Media Political Analyst at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
