President Obama addresses supporters who had tickets but won't be able to attend Democratic convention speech

Before his televised address at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday. President Obama spoke on a conference call to supporters whose tickets for the speech were voided because of a change to a smaller, indoor venue.

Obama was scheduled to speak at Bank of America Stadium, an outdoor football field with almost 74,000 seats, but convention organizers announced on Wednesday that the possibility of thunderstorms would force a move to the Time Warner Cable Arena, a basketball and hockey venue that seats only 20,000.

Obama called the switch "disappointing" and described some members of his staff as "crestfallen" but urged his backers to remain upbeat.

"We can't let a little thunder and lightning get us down," Obama said. "We're going to have to roll with it."

Some of the would-be attendees are people who earned tickets by volunteering on the Obama campaign in North Carolina for at least nine hours. Others flew to Charlotte from other parts of the country at their own expense, hoping to see the president in person.
