Neo-Classical architecture promoting CHANGE, only in Obama’s world.
Are Obama and Ayers planning on burning down the faux marble columns for theatrical effects with fireworks, since Bill said his only regret was that he had not destroyed enough yet?

I just hope conservatives remember how ridiculous President Bush’s theatrics on board the aircraft carrier announcing the end of the Iraq War were, I’m sure you remember the Top Gun entrance, George Bush as “Maverick” or was he channeling “Ice Man”, over staged events are bad, no matter what party is involved.
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.
….
Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.
Seriously this has to be a joke, are the people in the Obama campaign this stupid. We are not Germans, we don’t like our political leaders to become cult like figures. My God the arrogance and pretentious nature of this campaign and its candidate.
Omar plans on using a British rock & roll technician’s smoke and mirrors special effects at an upcoming festival, planned by Omar, to convince the Arab world that he is in fact a prophet that will unite the Arab world under his rule. Jack, Joan and the Holy Man decide to crash the festival and unmask Omar as the fraud that he is.
Barack Obama is acting as if he is the character named Omar from The Jewel of the Nile.
UPDATE: Over at Hot Air the comments are once again hilarious, hard to pick the best, but this one stands out:
Obama should reconsider and go with that patriotic outfit that Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) arrived at the ring to fight Rocky Balboa in Rocky.
Well I could post hundreds of comments, but two more notable ones:
They should have set up the stage like Obama’s brothers front yard.
Alex Jones is probably one of the most despicable liars on the planet. A man who profits off of the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9/11. He makes his money by fomenting conspiracy theories and his biggest cash cow has been to lie about the attacks on 9/11 and claim it was a government conspiracy.
This thug obviously does not believe in free speech and led a mob against Michelle Malkin:
But soon, the attention was diverted from the peaceful protest by an altercation between a member of the conservative media and a citizen attending the protest. This was the second incident of its kind; on Sunday, protesters took exception to a Fox News reporter trying to question Ward Churchill, controversial former professor at the University of Colorado. Today it was radical Alex Jones, from the group 9/11 Truth, which believes that the September 11 terrorist attacks were planned by the U.S. government, verbally confronting Michelle Malkin, a conservative columnist and Fox News contributor.
“You support torture. Shame on you, you fascist piece of trash,” Jones yelled. He also accused Malkin of supporting the U.S. Marines when they drown puppies.
Malkin found an ally in Recreate 68’s Sanchez, who pushed his way into the crowd of TV cameras to yell at Jones: “Michelle Malkin is a true patriot!”
Sanchez later said he had no idea why Jones was attending the protest and added that Recreate 68 does not support Jones’ ideas. He added that although they strongly disagree with her views, Recreate 68 supports Malkin’s right to free speech.
Recreate 68 co-founder Glenn Spagnuolo agreed saying “He’s the true agent provocateur, he was so busy hating, he missed all the love.”
After the dust-up around Malkin, who could be overheard asking Jones to “just go away,” had dispersed, many of the protesters returned to Civic Center Park.
That was fast, I wonder if Politico will ask Joe Biden how many hair plugs he owns and how much it costs, now if he doesn’t know the answer will Keith Olbermann and the rest of the liberal media call him elitist and out of touch:
It is a fraying, combed-back helmet that barely covers a longtime fact of Washington life: The senator from Delaware has taken steps to pre-empt baldness.
The most common hypothesis is that he received a hair transplant, where follicles from the bushier back of the head are grafted onto fading spots closer to the front of the dome.
In 1987, a Washington Post reporter asked him to confirm the theory. “Guess,” he responded. “I’ve got to keep some mystery in my life.”
I have the solution to this drinking age problem. The University Presidents want to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18 for their spoiled students. I say if you can die for this country then you deserve to drink. Anyone who presents military ID gets to drink at age 18, everyone else has to follow the 21 drinking age.
Simple, of course the do nothing Republicans and do nothing Democrats will never accomplish anything practical, so our idea has zero chance of passing.
Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, Rich Lowry, and now Giuliani:
In a separate interview, former Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani questioned Obama’s decision not to pick Clinton. “The strong choice would have been Hillary Clinton. The obvious choice would have been Hillary Clinton,” Giuliani said. “She had 50 percent of the Democratic vote. Obama has 50 percent of the Democratic vote. You almost have to go to extraordinary lengths to avoid her as the vice presidential pick of the party.”
Obviously the Republican party sent out a directive to the conservative pundits to declare that Hillary Clinton was Obama’s best choice for VP, before the Biden pick, and now after, it was a smart move by the McCain campaign, but just remember, most of those pundits hate Hillary Clinton, and if you took a look at their comments in June, most were probably listing all of the reasons why Clinton as VP would be a nightmare for Obama if he was elected President.
They knew Obama was not going to pick Clinton, so why not continue to stoke the fire.
Funny how most of the Liberal Media is now complaining about John McCain referring to his Vietnam service, were these same pundits complaining when John Kerry made his service a centerpiece of the 2004 Democratic Convention.
The same goes for this talk about McCain’s wealth, might be useful to look into the Howard Fineman and Maureen Dowd archives.
Is that Pat Caddell in the background with the moustache, he is the Democratic pollster you see on Fox News frequently, I remember reading somewhere that Caddell thought Biden was perfect Presidential material, that is until Biden open up his mouth on the trail.
You have to love the notion being spread by the MSNBC lackeys that Biden helps Obama capture Pennsylvania, really, any evidence of this? Besides it is Ohio that will decide this election.
John McCain better answer with his own smart pick. Obama showed one thing today, he will make the moves necessary to win the election, the ultimate move would have been to take Clinton, but out of the names mentioned Biden was the best choice.
Unless McCain has a surprise up his sleeve, like a certain General in Iraq, the only move he can make to counter this is Romney, forget about Dick “Wrong About Everything” Morris asking for a woman on the ticket, take Romney and crank up the Republican attack machine.
“Literally as recently as yesterday, I spoke to the National Press Club and talked about the fact it is just as easy to fly from National Airport into the White House as it is to, you know, do the same thing in New York,” Biden told ABC News. Unfortunately Biden said no such thing. His speech didn’t mention National Airport or the White House–or any kamikaze scenario at all.
I think the kids running the Obama campaign did not quite vet this guy with much ferocity. Can’t wait to get Biden’s big mouth out on the campaign trail, a lot of shaking heads will be visible in Obama’s campaign war room.
Here you go Axelrod, here is another one of Biden’s greatest hits, haha:
At the Tuesday-morning meeting with committee staffers, Biden launches into a stream-of-consciousness monologue about what his committee should be doing, before he finally admits the obvious: “I’m groping here.” Then he hits on an idea: America needs to show the Arab world that we’re not bent on its destruction. “Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran,” Biden declares. He surveys the table with raised eyebrows, a How do ya like that? look on his face.
The staffers sit in silence. Finally somebody ventures a response: “I think they’d send it back.” Then another aide speaks up delicately: “The thing I would worry about is that it would almost look like a publicity stunt.” Still another reminds Biden that an Iranian delegation is in Moscow that very day to discuss a $300 million arms deal with Vladimir Putin that the United States has strongly condemned. But Joe Biden is barely listening anymore. He’s already moved on to something else.
Narrator: The White House isn’t the place to learn how to deal with
international crisis, the balance of power, war and peace, and the
economic future of the next generation. A President has got to know
the territory, but that’s not enough. To win the White House, the Democratic
nominee had better have a crystal clear vision of what the Democratic Party
stands for. Of what the dream is and how we keep it alive.
Joe Biden sees the Presidency as a pulpit from which America sets an
example for the world. He believes that developing nations once saw America
as more than a place; They saw us as an idea; A goal to reach for.
He knows that they’ve lost confidence in us; that they see us losing our way;
our resolve; our ideals. Joe Biden thinks it’s time to remind the world
of what America stands for. Freedom. Equality. Justice. Opportunity.
He thinks it’s time to put courage over compromise. Time to express
America’s outrage once again towards repression, brutality, violence,
the abuse of human dignity around the world,
and if the sparks fly, so be it…
It will be funny watching the pro-Obama blogs deleting all past posts related to Joe Biden. Here is one fine example:
I might have supported these reforms if there was some parallel restriction on solicitation by credit card companies. There isn’t. I might also have supported it if it made an exception for those forced into debt by medical emergencies. It doesn’t. Alleged Democratic Senators Biden, Carper, and Nelson made sure of that.
This link (thanks, Shoveldog) contains further links to the study by Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren, which establishes that more than 50% of Chapter 7 filers filed due to medical debts - and most of those had health insurance. It also contains a link to an extremely enlightening article in The Motley Fool, which reveals the source of the money behind this bill. If you guessed MBNA, you won.
As currently constituted, this bill is a corporate welfare abomination. Any Democrat - THIS MEANS YOU JOE BIDEN - who votes for this bill needs to reevaluate what party she is in. (And yes, I realize that John Edwards voted for an earlier version in 2000 which was vetoed by Bill Clinton. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why.) But that version was a piker compared to the hideous monster now lurching its way through the Senate.
We knew the ego maniac and his bossy wife would not pick Biden but our sources said Kaine, Drudge is scooping that it is Evan Bayh, not the worst choice in the world but after Clinton, Biden would have made the most sense.
UPDATE: More signs that Drudge is correct. Chrissy Matthews is not reporting it at all or at least giving it very little coverage. Matthews has been working in concert with David Axelrod since the primaries, if Bayh was not the guy he would be all over the story, if Bayh is the vice presidential nominee, Axelrod would want Matthews to stay quiet and preserve the surprise.
Another sign was Andrea Mitchell on the Nightly News with Brian Williams basically stating that Joe Biden was the pick. Again the media has been doing everything possible to help Obama keep this a surprise. So of course Mitchell runs with that story on behalf of the Obama campaign.
UPDATE II: Keith Olbermann who is an Obama campaign spokesman stated that Andrea Mitchell just reported that Tim Kaine and Evan Bayh have been told they are not the pick, again since MSNBC is in the tank for Obama it makes the Drudge story more likely.
UPDATE III: Now back to Biden, wow double surprise and MikeFrancesa.com is wrong twice, perhaps Obama has come to his senses and it will be Obama-Biden 08, ups the ante for McCain to equal this pick, Romney is probably the safe play, forget about Pawlenty.
David Axelrod and the Obama campaign are proving to be the representation of their leader Barack Obama, nothing but a glorified grad student in a suit.
Political science majors should take heed, the McCain campaign is giving a free college seminar on how to win a Presidential campaign. The Obama campaign is giving a free college class on how to blow one.
Maybe instead of, “The One”, Obama should be called, “The Dumb One”
The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.
Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate’s half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.
“No-one knows who I am,” he told the magazine, before claiming: “I live here on less than a dollar a month.”
According to Italy’s Vanity Fair his two metre by three metre shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.
Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael.
He told the magazine: “I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist.”
Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.
“If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed,” he said.
