I hope Obama will make a statement about the hypocrisy aof offering shelter, more like internment for the homeless in Denver Colorado during the DNC. If anyone needs their voice heard, its the homeless, but we don't like poverty seen, its bad for biz and it seems Democratic politics too. Obabma should denounce this.

"Denver plans to clear downtown streets of the homeless during the Democratic National Convention here in 2008.

The city will open an emergency shelter normally used during winter deep freezes, and keep other shelters in the city open 24 hours during the August gathering. In addition, an army of outreach workers will fan out across downtown to persuade the homeless to come inside during the convention.

"Shelters will be open the entire time to make certain everyone can go inside and that the outreach folks have a place to take any person from the streets," said Roxane White, Denver's manager of human services.

White said the effort is motivated by security concerns."
