$1 Million Dare Drives Man to Streak in Front of Obama

Obama’s rally speech in Philadelphia on Sunday has produced two important questions. What was the title of the book thrown at the President? And who was the guy who ran around naked in the crowd? We now have one answer. Meet Juan James Rodriquez.
I know what you’re saying. You can’t really make a judgment about this story until you see a partial rear view. What? You also want to see a woman in a Michael Jackson “This Is It” hat desperately trying to shield her eyes?
I think I may have done the same move with my hands while watching the Michael Jackson “This Is It” documentary.
Thanks to The Weekly Standard we now know more about the motives here:
If billionaire Alki David is an honest man, the man who streaked in front of Barack Obama at the president’s rally today in Philadelphia will be paid $1 million for his stunt. The man who performed today’s stunt, which captured the attention of the Drudge Report and an Associated Press photographer, is 24-year-old Juan James Rodriguez, THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned.
This is Alki David:
A few months ago, David made his offer. He would pay $1 million dollars to the first person to streak within “eye-shot and ear shot of the president, they have to scream the name ‘battlecam.com’ six times, and they have to be nude.”
Here’s how it played in The Sun:
The Weekly Standard has some additional photos pertinent to the days event. Click here.
So what’s this Battlecam.com site? For $1 million they better get a big bounce out of the publicity.
We are also learning more about some of the men involved in the execution of this stunt:
Two men involved in the stunt, Glen Zolar and Joey “Boots” Bassolino, assured THE WEEKLY STANDARD that Rodriguez met the requirements.
Zolar, who spoke with me on the phone earlier tonight, is a moderator on battlecam.com. Zolar was cruising the website when Rodriguez contacted him and asked whether he’d be able to facilitate this stunt. Seeking personal gain – primarily, monetary gain – Zolar agreed.
There is video. I‘m sure you’ll see it soon. These guys have a history with Howard Stern. Here‘s Joey Boots licking the ear of Stern’s driver (warning — explicit language):
So could these guys be involved in the book tossing incident? I‘m pretty sure they weren’t involved in any book reading incident.

I know we had a few dandy’s before this one…but, really, I have never been more serious, it just feels like we have a bunch of kids up there playing with some really cool toys!!! And as funny as it is… I‘m torn between making fun of it and being scared out of my sphincter it’s so serious!! I mean,you know how it‘s kinda’ more sexy to see a hot chick in her underwear or a man’s shirt than totally nude. Kind of like this presidency…it used to be mysterious and untouchable ….. This gig we got now is just no biggie….Bunch of BRATS that you feel like you could just walk right up there and dot their eye and STREAK off!!! LOL!!! Damn… that boy got a million dollars to streak thru there and yell out some website!!! Some people have all the luck!

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 2:06amWho says he doesn’t have any dignity? Some people are more resilient than others… besides, your dignity is in your head. Nobody issued it to you, and nobody can take it. You decide where the line is.
Some people work for someone their entire lives for that amount of money only to have half of it taken in taxes. This guy did it in 30 seconds. I‘d say he’s walking away with quite a bit of dignity compared to a lot of worn-out pencil pushers.
Smart guy. Now he can invest it in a business, gold, his kids’ education… if it wasn’t him, it would have just been someone else. He snatched that up first, so good for him. He’ll get his slap on the wrist, then his money. Well worth it.
This is what you call taking carpe diem to the extreme!

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 4:08pmTREASON
This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
“”””””“MOST IMPORTANT PART””””””””””adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punished with death.””””””””””””””””””””””””
which is exactly what Obama has done and many many of our congress and senators have done as well.
It is time that we surround the white house and demand the law be enforced with out prejudice.
then we move on to congress and senate. demand justice.
Obama has committed treason on more than one account and should be held accountable by the American people.
