McCain camp gleefully mocks 'temple of Obama'
Breitbart.com ^ | August 27, 2008 | AFP Stories

Republicans, who mock Barack Obama as a self-appointed divine savior, gleefully pounced Thursday on pictures of the set for his big convention speech, which appears to resemble a temple. The Democratic presidential candidate will accept the party White House banner before a more than 70,000-strong crowd at an outdoor football stadium here late Thursday.

Pictures and an aerial film footage of the set being constructed for the speech show a curved backdrop with creamy, gray column-like structures, which could suggest Washington architecture, or a classical structure, like a Greek or Roman temple.

Republicans sent out an edition of their "Audacity Watch" email newsletter which they use to point out perceived examples of hubris by the Obama campaign, titled "The Temple of Obama."

If that were the case, the fools should not have placed the columns in a curve ... the Lincoln Memorial columns are in a straight line. Now, when I was in college, the outside Greek theater on campus had a backdrop which was curved ...

Here's a screen-cap from that video:

The Obamanation's stage, as seen from the 50 yard line. Like everything else having to do with Obama, there is no substance; it's all make-believe.

It does look more like Greek theater. I don’t think they would be so obvious as to build a facade of the Lincoln. It’s supposed to suggest Washingtonian architecture.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe better to reserve comment until after he made a complete fool of himself.

Wouldn’t it be delicious if his prompter went out in the middle of this speech.

In front of 70-thousand people?

I heard he was going to appear on stage by rising from the bottom on a hydraulic platform.

It’s definitely over the top, but completely in line with that disgusting photo of BO — haughty, nose in the air, smug look on his weasly face. Perfect.

Which picture? One of the 7 on the cover of Time Magazine!!!???

Yep, for someone who claims to be for the “common man,” Obama’s entire campaign has been over the top. I hope his Hollywood friends and PR people keep pushing this stuff.

Gee, I wonder how many houses for the homeless could have been bought with the money used to erect the Temple of Doom!? That would make a great ad!!!And, the Dems have a problem with McCains homes bought from his father in laws hard work.......

Isn't there a colonnade leading to the Rose Garden at the White House?

BTW, I read a headline that stated MLK was a Republican! Not sure if true but it wouldn’t surprise me.

I read that article too. It said most blacks were registered Republican because it is the party that freed the slaves!
