Last Thursday evening at the Democratic National Convention, presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to score a political touchdown on the 50 yard line of Denver's Invesco Field stadium. Instead, he won the all-time governmental convention award for the best over-the-top political spectacle of sight, sound, speech and pyrotechnics complete with superstar performances, Braveheart-like epic music endings and an Olympic-sized fireworks show.
For a week prior to the event, newscasters, commentators and pundits were trying to guess what exactly that Greco-Roman, column-structure was that served as a stage backdrop, and what it was supposed to be representing and stating on behalf of Obama. Hypotheses were strewn across the news and the Internet. Despite that Obama's camp suggested these Athenian pillars were merely representative of the history of democracy, the entire visual felt more like a temple than a tenured politician's presidential platform. ....
When a political convention turns into a Super Bowl half time show, Democrats should be crying out in disgust, but they're not. Instead, they and others are praising Obama and the entire extravaganza, labeling it a monumental moment in history. But, with giant Trinitrons broadcasting his image from the flanks of the stage and the tops of the stadium, I felt like he was running more for emperor of the world than president of the United States. Liberal media was even questioning if it wasn't over the top. Similarities can be drawn between J.F.K. addressing the DNC at the L.A. Coliseum or Martin Luther King Jr. standing before the Greek pillars at the Lincoln Memorial, but neither Kennedy nor King rebuilt the Parthenon for their presentation. Is this the simple, substance-oriented, budget-cutting Obama we can expect as a President?

According to his bio, he had a government office moved because it was inconvenient for the workers to get there. I think that’s the extent of his good work.
Between Ayers and Obama they managed to shove $100 million dollars down the rat hole of Chicagos school system and the reports on it are dismal to say the least.
