Honestly, folks, RBO was NOT going to get into this one but, hey!, the more versions that circulate, the more interesting this is getting. First of all, see Uppity Woman’s Emperor Obama’s Stage To Resemble a Greek Temple–In Honor Of Enron Executives and Obama To Channel The Arrival of Cleopatra.
Tip of the hat to Obama WTF for providing the Youtube link to MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough discussing the Democratic Party’s toga party at the “Barackopolis.”
Be sure to visit HillBuzz, which published guidelines for the proper “Barackopolis” attire.
Victor Davis Hanson commented at NRO:
Let me get this straight: Obama goes to Europe, does a garish outdoor extravaganza before thousands, returns to find himself dubbed a publicity-seeking celebrity, analogous to Paris Hilton—and abruptly begins a tailspin in the polls. And now in reaction, at the greatest moment of his life, he transfers his acceptance speech to an open-air stadium to handle tens of thousands of frenzied fans, replete with Greek temple (Olympian Zeus or Parthenon?) as the backdrop stage, and outspoken rock stars?
His handlers now seem as inept in the general elections as they were once adept in the primaries. I don’t see how you win Ohio or Michigan with Golden Gate Park circa 1967.
Our citizens may be deceived for awhile, and have been deceived; but as long as the presses can be protected, we may trust to them for light.--Thomas Jefferson.
oh, the obi camp is already pissing on Pelosi.
Karma is truely a bitch.
That graphic from The Political Inquirer is perfect. I love the halo. And the shield. The Greek temple-stadium coronation is his Dukakis moment. It’s going viral, and he is rapidly turning into a laughing stock.
I believe they are most likely building a White House replica, as they have a full sized replica of Air Force One on the grounds as well.
I guess they’ll refer to his speech as “Apollo’s Creed” …
[...] The Real Barack Obama feels it is a Coronation in the Temple of Obamis . [...]
Obamacles Temple
I really hope the tag “Obamacles’ Temple” sticks for posterity.
Doesn’t Obamacles remember he’s been criticized for Hubris – hint: the classical failing that made those who pranced among Greek pillars fall?
Since you folks seem to have an appreciation for the COMICAL
ABSURDITIES of the OBAMA Campaign (if I don’t laugh about them,
I’ll start to cry about them), I thought that perhaps you
would enjoy watching the Trailer and the Film which I and some
friends made over the summer, “The Lost Michelle Obama Tapes”:
