Reuters reports that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
George Washington was definitely a much greater man that Obama could ever be, yet, even he did not have delusions of grandeur of this magnitude.
Anyway, here’s part of the story from 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…
Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.
I have an idea. I think Obama needs to go one step further and fly in on a jetpack, circle the stadium 3 times, and then land on the designated spot, the moment his feet touch the ground, fireworks should still go off, but 20,000 children should also run onto the field waving the flag of the USSR, Old Glory … I mean if we are going for the ridiculous, we might as well go all the way.
Only in Obama’s America folks, only in Obama’s America…
