Obama Promotes Himself From Global President To God

Posted by boedicca on August 27, 2008

Apparently, being President of the Citizens of the World is not enough for Obama, he has now elevated his status to God, or at least a Greek Diety complete with his own Temple.

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.

The show should provide a striking image for the millions of Americans watching on television as Obama delivers a speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

Politicians in past elections have typically spoken from the convention site itself, but the Obama campaign liked the idea of having their man speak to a larger, stadium-sized crowd not far from where the Democratic National Convention is being held, at the Denver pro basketball arena.

Fanboy passed along a theory today that the reason Obama is having his coronation speech at Invesco was due to fears that the Hillarites would boo him off the stage at the smaller convention forum.   Now that would have been Great Theater Well Worth The Price Of Admission.
