It's all Greek to him:
DENVER (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.
Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.
He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.
I'm a little concerned. If the stage is a "miniature" Greek temple, will it be big enough to hold Obama's ego?
I doubt it!

Will it be big enough for Michelle's ambition?

Between his ego and her ambition maybe they should have just done this at the Grand Canyon!
I just think this is sooooo tacky. It reminds me of a Widespread Panic concert. The Obama Heads will no doubt make a lot of noise but I wonder how many of them will actually show up at the polls?
(Not just tacky but gaudy too! UGH!!!)

McCain is not my first choice. I am voting for Ralph Nader who is running out of Oakland, CA for the Peace and Prosperity Party. Still Barack X is a distant third
for many reasons, the primary one being that
he is a unable to deliver anything of
substance to anyone. Bill Clinton was
a legitamately intelligent man....Barry isn't. "Won't allow less than a World Class education for our children" ...His and Joe
Crazy's kids perhaps, but everyone else will
swim alone, deceived again by a "street preacher".
