Kasim Reed Continues To Make History

The 2012 Democratic National Convention schedule of daily Events was released and Kasim Reed is STILL NOT SPEAKING AT THE CONVENTION.

For the first time in 40 years, Atlanta’s CEO will not speak at the Democratic National Convention. Mayors Franklin, Campbell, Young and Jackson all spoke at the conventions during their tenure. Kasim Reed is the first Mayor of Atlanta to be snubbed by his party.

Politico reported yesterday that “Democrats look to City Hall for their future.” The story starts with “If you want to find the next generation of Democratic leaders, look to city hall.”

According to Politico, if you are an up and coming mayor, you’re GUARANTEED AN OPPORTUNITY to speak at the Democratic National Convention UNLESSS:

1. Your voice is irrelevant
2. You’ve done or said something that angered or embarrassed President Obama
3. Federal charges of criminal acts are pending
