A photo essay of Barak-O-polis at the link.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Bad, real bad for Barak
Tonight should be the night we honor MLK. Our children should know the works and the efforts MLK, put forward to bring together blacks and whites.
FOR OBAMA TO GRANDSTAND AND ACT LIKE HE HAS DONE ANYTHING COMPARED TO MLK, AND TO OVERSHADOW MLK’S anniversary is
diplorable!!!!
He built a monument unto himself, a monument that should be raised for MLK, GET THIS ROOKIE OFF STAGE.....
Shame on Barak! People in my office are saying the same thing...this is a big turn off!
It’s all fake.
Smoke-and-mirrors.
Vapid.
Besides the overtones that will make it a joke, it looks like a cheap C grade movie set done by volunteers from the local elementary school.
This character’s ego is truly stunning—building a Lincoln-style memorial to himself while a first-term senator.
OMG
But....when you are that HUGH you don't need a punchline....
I saw somebody from Obama’s campaign on TV this morning, and he was confused about the reaction to the temple like setting. He said that if people are going to focus on the backdrop of the setting for the speech, instead of the content of what Obama has to say, then he didn’t know what to say.
That shocks me, because, if the backdrop isn’t anything special and isn’t important, THEN WHY THE HECK DID THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN DECIDE TO SET UP THE GREEK TEMPLE SETTING IN THE FIRST PLACE?????? Clearly they wanted that setting, rather than staying with the set-up at Pepsi Center.
sheesh.............
Obama’s Leni Riefenstahl will have his/her best work ready for tonight.
Some big time media person should connect Obama's abortion votes regarding live births, with the Partheno Virgin cult and it's human sacrifice of virgins.
As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party's nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour."

I think the Barak-O-polis is the Dukakis in a tank moment we have all knew was coming. This is it.
Barack Icarus Obama
Illusions of grandure. He’s sounding more and more like the anti-christ everyday.
Ha good catch I just basically looked at the pics.
Can someone please turn off the Teleprompter tonight!!!
If there is one prayer, it would be he is left to speak on his own. yeah! Now that would be hilarious....
Uhmm....Uh...you seee....look weeeeaaaahhhhh....you see.....MLK uhmmmmmm. He ahhhhhh.. Blessed are the people uhmmmmmmm...... look at my wife, isnt she lovely.....uh.....Hope....today ahhhh Hope!
"Did someone say there would be dancing virgin sacrifices? I'm soo there."
But, but you obviously don't understand the parallel.
He is a truly great emancipator.
He is going to free the huddled white liberal masses from the chains of their racial guilt...(or somesuch bullsh*t)
The third photo says that the stage has an elevator to bring Obama to the top of the platform. I hope he rises out of the stage like something out of a rock concert. That would be absolutely rolling-on-the-floor hilarious. Oh please, oh please, oh please...
Am I to understand that Obama will be on a stage that will rise up??? That is vulgar.
Rush now quoting the NY Post: Britney Spears' set designer designed this thing...
Anyone else find all this bizarre and disturbing? This guy could very well end up as Commander-in-Chief of our military... Leader of the Free World... {{shudder}}
Looks like they are remaking the Lincoln Memorial.
HOW MUCH DID THIS COST? WTH, I KNOW A FEW SCHOOLS THAT COULD HAVE USED THE MONEY!!!
Why not just go to the Lincoln Memorial? What a bone head!
If this is what he calls being fiscally responsible...I dont want him to touch my money!
“Welcome to Obamalympus, Captain Kirk! Bow before Barakapollo!”
McCain commercials just write themselves.
“At a mass meeting, thought is eliminated. And because this is the state of mind I require, because it secures to me the best sounding-board for my speeches, I order everyone to attend the meetings, where they become part of the mass whether they like it or not, ‘intellectuals’ and bourgeois as well as workers. I mingle the people. I speak to them only as the mass.”
“The masses are like an animal that obeys its instincts. They do not reach conclusions by reasoning.”
—Adolph Hitler

It doesn't matter. It was paid for by big corporations looking for favors. IOW, it was a HUGE bribe that was not controlled by campaign finance spending limits.
And the Dems somehow have people believing the corporations own only the Republicans.
A must listen to...the left don’t want but one side to be heard.

I think it will backfire! This is over the top.
Sorta like Suri’s Birthday party!
I said this on FR on February 13th, I think...and I’m saying it again. I’m not insane, not given to dramatic statements. But for those of you who are familiar with the characteristics and background of the Antichrist, please compare: a multi-cultural background, no father in sight, sudden and immense popularity coming out of almost nowhere, huge charisma to attract the masses and cause near-hysterics at his public appearances. This is downright scary and his “thin resume” in the face of this tremendous popularity makes it all the worse. The fact that he is where he is, based on little or nothing to back it up, is just.... well... think about it.
Not only the money—think of the energy that was expended to transport and create this Obamanation. Maybe he bought carbon credits from AlGore.
He already has a six million dollar set built in Denver at the convention center.
This is for his ego. He has accomplished nothing of note in life, and this set will just magnify an Empty Suit.
That’s Apollo.
Obama is the Manchurian Candidate.
I’m sure the hypnotized masses inside the stadium will be in ecstasy.
The much larger unseen masses in TV-land will be holding their noses and shaking their heads in disgust as per the Wellstone funeral.
I know its Apollo but Obama is on the path of Icarus.
The whole thing looks very “Aryan post-classical” to me. Albert Speer-ish.
touche!
Agree.
I dont think I can stomach the spectacle.
It really disturbs my spirit...He thinks he is like MLK, the problem is MLK heard from God and was inspired because he was a praying man. Obama is a parot, saying words someone writes for him.
My spirit really senses a big mistake coming...Obama will be known by his fruits, that you cannot fake.
Jesse Jackson (and I am no supporter of him) recognises a con....he was out conned...Barak is good, scarey good. But JJackson has seen the real MLK.....I wish he could say.......
I knew MLK and Barak you are no MLK
“Can someone please turn off the Teleprompter tonight!!!”
My dream would be to hack into the teleprompter feed, and insert things into his speech.
“We are here tonight to talk about change. I have often said: (My insert into his teleprompter: “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need”) when speaking of my economic plan.”
Perhaps they are planning a Toga Party after the acceptance speech (que picture of Belushi from Animal House).
