Where will Bill Ayers, Benadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko and Jeremiah Wright be sitting?
The the UK's Daily Mail reports:
Barack Obama's big speech on tomorrow night will be delivered from an elaborate columned platform resembling a miniature Greek temple, it has been revealed.
The stage is similar to structures used for rock concerts and has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' American football team plays.

Change, Change, Change,
America.
Sounds wonderful, who will pay for it?
By the way,
The expenditure just for tonight, if spent by the GOP, would have been scorned, for sure!
Done by liberals is being praised!
Wow, nice fireworks!
Have it the Obama way!
Obama famous phrase, "I am my sister's keeper", forget the brother living in the hut; that is the government's failure not providing him a Rezko deal. |

Coronation, has already started in Denver!
Barack Apollo Obama's glorious ascending, trascending, suspended ever so graciously, one arm outstreched, anointed in oil, clothed in white robe, floating, rising to the heavens!
Tonight divine celebrations resumes, all exuberation, euphoria, will end in November 08, quite in a sudden downfall.
It is in the stars, such hights, doomed to a tragic wreck!
Toasting the winner! till then, skoal!
Sorry Obama prefers; a votre sonte! |

Stella- thanks for the suggestions. I've got Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Gemstone, Bressler, Scarecrow, Hourglass,Lafitte, Latour,Margaux,Haut Brion, Mouton and a few other goodies. Fortunately, I started buying wine back in the 70's when it was still affordable. First growths were $15-$20 per bottle and you could buy cases of Petrus at $201 on futures. I've got enough in the cellar to last the rest of my life. I'll save the Dom and Cristal to toast Obama after the coronation in January. Come on by for a glass of bubbly! |

We're the "Drama Queens"...AFTER the Denver Loonie Tune this week...? BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! |
|
|
Hitler & Obama both appear to get their inspiration from the same place! Their own hand gesture (Obama's being a large "O" which I think stand for a big ZERO), their own flag symbol, going after the disgruntled & only focusing on the downtrodden as their base, campaign based on hatred, scapegoating the successful,the crowd chanting his name swaying in a foggy haze,& now a Romanesque stage...I could go on! This guy's a CREEP! |
|
Greek pillars are fine--until it isn't your guy. No wonder you folx have not moral authority. You have no principles. Just throw it up there and hope it sticks. Boy it will be nice when America is done with this type of second-rate leadership.
Keep reading drudge, chumps. You have one thing in common--you're all insipid creeps. The MSM too, who take their cue from Drudge. A bunch of flaming insipid creeps who have disgraced a great nation. |

Why not? Photoshop is pretty much all ya got.. |

Please read this because it is prophetic and suitable for your candidate. The americans who get impressed by candidates who rebuild stadiums, don't decide elections. Rational, hardworking americans who understand that every penny counts in our economy see this as a waste of resources for a man who until 3 years ago, was a community organizer voting to kill infants who survive abortion past the 23rd week. Americans won't be committing obamacide. I suggest you stock up on some good wine because you'll need it after McCain gets inaugurated - that will become your HOPE. |
|

If socialism worked Britain would still be the Great Britain. Now Britain is where Sheria Law reigns - americans won't be committing Obamacide, give it up! |
|
I knew Barack had issues with our infrastructure. Especially after he said China had better infrastructure than the USA. But the rebuilding of the broncos stadium is just insulting to we the colorado people. We aks our leaders to respect our space and not rebuild it for a 1 hour speech whenever possible! What infrastructure problems was Barack talking about, the Barakapolis is STANDING STRONG and it has cost us $$$$ for a ONE HOUR speech. I think his 6th sense realizes,he won't have the whitehouse lawn so he is creating something majestic to remember his affirmative action moment.

Freakin' columns? That's all ya got? Geesh! Those of you who say Obama's tanking haven't been paying attention. And it looks like Grampy McSame might be sharing the stage with a guy named Gustav next week. That'll teach those fundies for praying for it to rain while Obama is making his acceptance speech! |
|
....of being crushed....by a dwarf....!
But his amps go to eleven! |
|
|
"... Jonah Goldberg referencing Spinal Tap’s pageantry ..." Great reference!!! Obama better get rid of that aluminum wrapped cucumber before he goes through DIA security! I'm having way too much fun with this pretentious idiot savant!!! |
|
|
Too bad that columns are a staple of American politics. Ask George in 2004. Oh, well. Hughie: keep honing those political instincts of yours... Maybe you'll be on target in 2012. If you try. Try at least, please! |
|
|
go to youtube and search "life of brian biggus" and watch the video (rated R). Someone needs to photoshop Barackus Obamacus into it. |
|
enough, for Gawdsakes?? It also has to have the Temple of Freakin' Diana in the b.g.?? Whew!
It really has become a cartoon, caricature, skin-crawling over-the-top, super-serious bunch of NUTHIN'.
Toast. Clueless TOAST. |

Send O a fiddle! -- You go! -- |

Truly the most unfunny show on TV since that excrebal Fox half hour news hour. We should have made the prisoners at Guantanamo watch it, they would have seen what real torture can be. |
|
OMG Laura that cracked me up
"BEHOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDD HIS Mighty Haaaannnnddddd!!"
This forum is better than watching 'Red Eye'... totally cracks me up.
|
|
to the multitudes tomorrow night and belowwww:
"BEHOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDD HIS Mighty Haaaannnnddddd!!" |
|
|
Hugh- can you show us that just for once, you can approach an issue honestly? You're going after Obama for the set and there are pictures of Bush and McCain speaking in front of Greek columns. Any comment? Hewitt? Hewitt? Hewitt? Bueller? Hewitt? |
|
|
|
myself included. partisanship just goes too far. |

Thanks for the recommendations. I know Casanova but not Oreno, I'll look for it. Nothing better with Italian food than their wine. My tip to you- Tangent from Edna Valley. Excellent whites (no Chard) such as Viognier, Riesling and Albarino at fair prices, great summer drinking. We always need to keep this stuff in perspective. You had 8 years of Clinton, we've almost made it through the Bush years and we'll survive whatever happens this year. Good wine, family and friends makes it all bearable. |

Reagan and Arnold have/had legitimate reasons to be celebrities. They were both movie stars. Arnold more so. Reagan was involved with politics for years and years, plus traveling for GE and having a radio commentary before he became POTUS. With Arnold you have more of a case about saying he's just a celebrity. With Reagan you can't say that. Also, the enthusiasm is not showing up in the polls, at least not so far. Plus, 50 thousand people in Oregon is still just 7 electoral votes. You also have to factor in the percentage of people who go to: be part of something they think is historic, the underage who can't even vote, people who go there to score babes, and those who are excited now but won't vote.
I think the main point is that Obama is just giving more ammo to the charge that he is thinks too highly of himself.
By the way, if you haven't already, you need to try Oreno and Cassanova Di Neri.
Everyone should remember: If something is LOOSE you may LOSE it. |

Starting to look like Denveremberg, not Denver. These guys are getting a little fanatical!
Heil Bararckstar! |
|

What you say makes literally no sense at all. |
|
and pretentious and bogus. All at once.

"Our economy is in a tailspin; we are in a counterproductive war; banks are failing; even our allies hate us now; terrorists are flourishing; gas is around $4.00 a gallon..."
Tailspin?
No recession as officially defined.Nor will there be. Foreclosures @ 4%...Banks have failed before and most are doing ok, thank you very much.
Al Qaeda is reeling NOT flourishing. Remember all those dead Al Qaeda in Iraq?
Gas is @ $4. a gallon because dems for the last 30 years have blocked every effort at developing ANY of our oil resources.
The 'stage' is evidence of just how tone-deaf your candidate is and McCain's going to win in an electoral landslide.
Obama is TOAST. He's done and its over, you're just too blind to see it yet.
The fat lady in the orange creamsicle suit has SUNG. Its OVER.
'winesnob' what a perfect handle for someone who continues to speak of Obama's main qualification being the 'chill he makes run up your leg'. But then again, when that's ALL you have...
'winesnob' a fitting name for someone who self-righteously issues a 'challenge' to McCain...BWAHAHAHA |
|

I love the title someone gave the conceited slob. FOX news is beginning to talk about the comments they're getting from people making fun of Obama's play of granduer at his Colliseum, formerly known as Enesco Field. Where does his ego end? Oh, I see, it doesn't! So just who the hell does this buffoon think he is? I hope he gets his head handed to him on a silver platter by John Mc Cain and company in November. |
|

If LA had only known. They could have offered Barry not only a real, full-sized Colosseum, er, Coliseum, but an appropriately dressed university band to play "Tribute to Boy", er, "Troy". (The Trojan Fan's version, Hugh and Duane, not yours. Heh.) |

of the Olympics (for very good reasons). tough many Americans still watched.
With all the hilarity coming about his stage: Jonah Goldberg referencing Spinal Tap’s pageantry and ode to Stonehenge, on a blog at Townhall coined the term “My Big Fat Greek Convention”, Powerline says they’re hearing the chant “toga, toga, toga” and McCain’s camp saying “Is this from The Onion?” upon seeing the stage.
I wonder if it ever occurred to the Obama campaign that their majestic, magical staging would come across as rather paltry or rinky dink when many Americans just witnessed one of the most spectacular stadium events in Beijing. You gotta think someone, somewhere asked “Should we re-think having him speak in a stadium?”
Perhaps no one will compare the stadium spectacles but I’m not sure it was such a good idea to look dwarfed in a stadium spectacle to the Chinese if you want to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

You righties just don't get it. Obama excites people who are sick of Bush and want a change. The fact he can fill a stadium is a reflection of the passion of the Dems this year, as evidenced by the huge number of new voters and amount of money Obama has received from numerous voters. You never complained about celebrities when they ran on your side (Reagan and Schwarzenegger), and you never discuss the number of movies and TV shows McCain has done. If anyone has tried to have an imperial presidency, it's been Bush. I challenge McCain to give a speech in a large stadium and fill it with excited and energetic supporters. Can't wait for November. |

Oh lovely, Neo-classical Greco Revival. Where’s Leni Riefenstahl when the klieg lights come on?
This pretentious over staging, when they could have used the Pepsi Centers acoustics to their advantage shows how second string the Obama candidacy is.
This convention is as poorly fleshed up and received as the choice of Sen. Obama. It's as if they all realize on dress rehearsal night that they cast the lead badly, the script need dramaturgy and the direction is ham-handed.
The closing act, going to the stadium will leave all concerned with the bitter taste of the spectacle that didn't meet the needs of the hour. Is anyone awake at Sen. Obama's team? Creating dynamism is easier in controlled and roofed venues than open air shout-athons. The candidate and his team are second stringers.
No ushers required save for House of Usher.

It fell! The Caesar of modern day will no doubt be the reason America falls if people are stupid enough to put him into the white house. |
|
Well, he is running to be our next Emperor.
Granted, most of those seeking the Imperial crown aren't quite as open about it. |
|
|
Who the heck cares. If reports are right and McCain is the puppet of the Huckabee people then he doesn't deserve to win anything. And Obama can have his place at the table. The country can't get any worse than to have the Republican President's chain yanked by the likes of Mike Huckabee. |

He'll be curing blind people at half-time.
|
|
Our economy is in a tailspin; we are in a counterproductive war; banks are failing; even our allies hate us now; terrorists are flourishing; gas is around $4.00 a gallon...
....but Townhall is making news out of a temporary stage in a stadium?
Wow. You people must actually fear that McCain might loose. |

Suicide of the Democrats
The defence is in ruins, the 'keeper has died and, miraculously, the striker is on side and facing an open goal. That, roughly, was the position of the Democratic Party at the start of the American election campaign. Bush was less popular than cancer, Cheney was out-sinistering The Joker and the economy had gone weird. But then, in the great tradition of the Donkey party, the Democrats proceeded to shoot themselves in both feet prior to stepping on a rake. Denver is a debacle with hordes of mad, Hillary-briefed women stealing the coverage while McCain creeps ahead in the polls. Hillary said as little as she could get away with and God knows what Bill will say - he'll probably take credit for motherhood, the McFlurry and Michael Phelps. Post-primary Obama is over-cautious. Standing before that open goal, he's lining up his shot like Tiger planning a putt. He is, I would guess, within a few days of losing the election.
