Behold! The God-King is to be anointed!
It brings to mind Maximilien Robespierre’s Festival of the Supreme Deity during the French Revolution. And look how that worked out for him.

I’m confused. Does Obama think he’s Socrates now, or does he still think he’s the Messiah?

I get shivers up my spine, how cool!

Obama is going to be the greatest and most generous president of all time! We are finally going to get a free college education and free health care. He promises no more worry about a mortgage, which means I might also get a free house. Life is great!

Obama, hurry and win!!!!! We love you and all of the cool stuff you promise us!

Provide for us Obama! We need free college education and health care. We await!

It is NOT a greek or roman temple, pull up a photo of the White House and compare. He will be standing on the steps of the “white house” to accept his corrination!

barrack hussein is a kook……he won’t get far…

Gruf2008   August 27th, 2008 - 5:16 pm

Anyone, is there any rain in the forecast for Denver? I know it is wishful thinking; even a blackout would be a welcome sight to bring some humility to his Oneness.

Obama   August 27th, 2008 - 5:53 pm

How long do you think Obama will be president before he is terminated?

Jamesb   August 27th, 2008 - 6:10 pm

Uh, have you watched “your” own convention? Is that not a big ol’ party? DoyDeeDoyh. As for the rest of you rabid dogs, CALM DOWN! You presume we don’t understand the origins of our Republic? I do. I don’t care. It’s GRAND fun to poke fun at Barachus Obamus Ignoramus. I hope he wears a laurel wreath and the purple robes of Ceasar (you know, the Roman dude). Et tu Bamitus, et tu?

Well, his candidacy is a equal parts Greek Tragedy and Greek Comedy, he looks and acts like a frat boy, his policy proposals are are a knife to the heart of the body-politic, so ya, Go Greek! Ya, PARTY ON ‘BAMA! He’s like a total bonehead, fer sure. Yea Hollywood! What a vapid emty suit…maybe he’ll wear a toga…TOGA!…TOGA!…TOGA!…Vote 4 BLUTO!

JamesB-
Does that mean they’ll have a kegger and a mosh pit too?

E390   August 27th, 2008 - 7:52 pm

I hope the choosen one has a bunch of gang banger rap boys at the dnc party. I think Obama has started to believe the media hype that he is the second coming.

JI   August 27th, 2008 - 8:43 pm

Obama – a stray dog in the Palace of Orpheus. Encouraged by his own barking.

Bill Chicago   August 27th, 2008 - 8:45 pm

Personally, I think everyone should be carrying a torch and be singing Obama Uber Allies.
To bad Leni Riefenstahl is dead. She could have done wonders with this setting.

JI   August 27th, 2008 - 9:18 pm

Everyone familiar with “The Frogs of Aristophanes”, well wait till we get to hear the “croaking chorus” from 75,000 Democrats.

Yes, TOGA

Palimpsest   August 27th, 2008 - 10:11 pm

Well, based on the way that the stage is facing (towards the “home field” side of the stadium) it means that the folks in the east stands are totally screwed. About 25,000 or so of Obama’s best friends will see either: absolutely nothing, because the Temple of the Blessed Barack will completely block their view, or: maybe the back of his head, if they’re up in the nosebleed seats.

Just wondering – how many here, upon first gazing upon the Temple had an initial reaction of something along the lines of: You’ve GOT to be kidding.

tduck   August 27th, 2008 - 10:11 pm

… damn , be a real shame if it rained and lightening .
… but , with lord obama ’s great powers , he will shield the masses .

… well , he lost one vote .
… sorry about your son , Dr. Dre’. May the true Lord comfort you and yours .

Hopefully there will be dancing girls.

And unto us a child is born out of Hawaii, and he endevored to unite the world in his image. He shall emerge on Thursday in Denver to great adualtion and worship. And they shall call him The One.

…Then John McCain will give him a whooping in every debate The One tries to avoid, and he’ll be trounced in the general election as he’s been exposed as an empty suit, a fraud. And 1/2 of his worshippers will riot, and the other 1/2 will enter therepy.

DrudgeIsGay   August 27th, 2008 - 11:38 pm

Greek/Roman Temple? Looks like every civic building in America. Oh wait! That’s because our civic architecture is modeled after the Greeks and Romans. I think *everyone* should have to pass a basic civics course for US citizenship, not just immigrants, ‘cuz there’s a bunch of fools commenting on this story.

james   August 27th, 2008 - 11:51 pm

I guess he should just stand in front of a pea-green backdrop like McSame.

These infantile Republicons will make a “party hat” out of anything (remember the fools waving flipflops & the disgraceful purple band-aids).

that’s all they got folks, look who’s not wearing any clothes

dave   August 27th, 2008 - 11:55 pm

who is this a-hole?
he looks like an illegal alien terrorist to me.

Getta Clue   August 28th, 2008 - 12:01 am

Greek Architecture?

HOW DARE this Presidential Nominee make overt reverences to the same principals of our nation’s founding?!!

Shame on you, Obama – what do you think you are trying to do??? RUN FOR PRESIDENT?!

Matt_N_EwaBeach   August 28th, 2008 - 12:01 am

at 0:52, he should have said ‘in da hizzee’! No props. Writing at ya from the modern day bethlehem…err, Hawaii ~ Matt

All praise be to Obama!

TJ   August 28th, 2008 - 12:36 am

A set destined to draw ridicule. Obama’s people must have forgotten the cold, austere, marbelly-looking set that the GOP convention used in 92, after which Bush the Senior lost to Clinton. Not a helpful look.

Serigia   August 28th, 2008 - 1:47 am

This guy is just another rich ignorant like Michael Vicks.. Don’t worry, these types always find their proper destination, just like Dr. Dre and his dead 20 year old son. Well done Dad, MORON!

kaygee   August 28th, 2008 - 1:58 am

What, no throne? What have we here!! What a sacrilege to deny a throne to the ONE!! Maybe Hilary will do the dance of the 7 veils for His Greatness!!!

jbh50   August 28th, 2008 - 2:02 am

What, we don’t need no stick’n palm branches? What’s about a donkey for his ride…

Jamesb   August 28th, 2008 - 2:08 am

I have it on the sly that the “Oracle of Delphi” has been tapped for Secretary of State! Ohmumbogogo! THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN! Barbaraus of the City State Malibu, you may approach the Throne. Please, stop kneeling, Queen Michelle will have you sacrificed at the Altar of Mt. Olympus! All Hail Obamanus Ignoramus!

Jamesb   August 28th, 2008 - 2:15 am

If Obamanus Ignoramus goes for a submarine ride as President would it then become know as a Poseidon Adventure? Will flying on A.F.One be “grasping the reins” of the “Chariot Of the Sky”? Will the White House (Black House according to Ludacris) be know as the “Temple Of Obamination Ignoramus” I love this bonehead, he’s a walking talking gaffe machine!

Jamesb   August 28th, 2008 - 2:25 am

I’m reading “The Clouds” by Aristophanes. It’s a hoot. Not. It’s a Greek comedy. Obama turning into the embodiment of Socrates is a big ol’ Greek BELLY LAUGH!

[...] event will reinforce Obama’s image as a celebrity – especially given the reports of elaborate Greek temple staging – or there will be problems with the outdoor [...]

Jamesb   August 28th, 2008 - 2:39 am

“My Big Fat Greek Coronation” in a world where evil and unhappiness happens we learn the moving story of a spinster party deprived of the love of a good Presidency. Dispite the misgivings of the family of Hillary voters, the party of ultralibs finally finds Mr. Right! Alas they live happily in political obscurity much to the relief of adults and people that actually pay taxes everywhere. You know, the ones NOT in THE BOTTOM 40% THE END

Lambkin   August 28th, 2008 - 7:45 am

Ho, ho! In which book of the Divine Comedy are we currently? Hell, descending; heaven descending; hell, ascending, purgatory, or heaven ascending? Since God damned America, I’m oh, so glad he sent us a savior to save us from this hell! Ha,ha. This is the funnest ride I’ve been on in years! Thanks for the comedy, B.O.

Which Anthem?   August 28th, 2008 - 10:10 am

WHICH national anthem will Jennifer Hudson sing? The real one or the black one?

To Ron, a/k/a THE IDIOT   August 28th, 2008 - 11:08 pm

The IDIOT wrote: “I can see why you morons are so angry, fading into the past must be very frustrating.”

It is not “us” who is fading but the entire AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, you sanctimonious idiot! And you and your ilk are so BLIND & DUMB, you consider this to be “PROGRESS.” Time will tell–but by then, it will be too late.

Bobo   August 29th, 2008 - 1:46 am

I’m a staunch Republican, but still, this guy’s right. The set is patterned EXACTLY like many American civic buildings. Razzing the BO set is just silly and childish. There are BETTER things to razz BO about!

DrudgeIsGay: “Greek/Roman Temple? Looks like every civic building in America. Oh wait! That’s because our civic architecture is modeled after the Greeks and Romans. I think *everyone* should have to pass a basic civics course for US citizenship, not just immigrants, ‘cuz there’s a bunch of fools commenting on this story”
