Obama Speech Stage Looks Like Ancient Greek Temple

We should expect nothing less, right? After all, Barack Obama is "their" messiah, their temple, their religion. He is The One.

Rich Lowry writes:

Thursday night is sounding more and more like a bizarre political half-time show:

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.

What possibly can they be thinking?

Redstate is equally baffled: "This Is A Joke, Right?."

Are their any adults watching over the kids at the DNC?
