"Temple of Obama"

DENVER - Democrats will kneel before the "Temple of Obama" tonight.

As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party's nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour.

I read a thread on another forum yesterday and they were talking about a panel on the stage will rise out of the floor with him standing on it. They were saying that it reminded them of the Left Behind series where Nicolae Carpathia (sp?) did that when he made his appearance in the book series as the antichrist.

*Disclaimer- I am not saying Obama is the antichrist. :D

I hadn't heard that. Good greif. Rock star or President? Is none of the above an option?

I heard on the news today that this stadium event was planned before the Berlin speech and because of the negative response to that some of his planners are now wishing they had stuck with the normal acceptance speech at the convention venue.

The elaborate set is very impressive but not going to help answer the accusation that Obama is a product of celebrity and not experience.

The bottom line is that I think the independents that will decide the election like Obama and are impressed by his oratorial skills but at the end of the day are going to worry enough about the thin resume to reject him. I hope I am right!

i hope it backfires, but I still say this is our next president.

I think it is interesting that he has flat lined, no bump with the Biden pick or the convention so far.

Re: "Temple of Obama"
 

When I first heard of the stage design, I was stunned! :jaw
Does not anyone (Democrates) see this? Do you not see what is happening?
Maybe I am way out of line, I apologise. We do live in a nation of having the freedom to choose. And I would not have it any other way. Maybe I'm over reacting.... Iam a menopausal woman with not 1, not 2 but I heard 4 more disturbances in the Atlantic....and ya know how us women can be when we get distrubed! LOL:tease

All I can think of at the moment is a scripture; Luke 11:17 "Any kingdom divided against itself will fall." quoted by Jesus.

Our nation (aka kingdom) is now divided. All I can say is , we need to pray.:praying

Gallop is showing about a 4 point bump from last night and Rassmussen is showing about a 1 or 2 point bump.

last time around kerry got 0 but bush only got 4.

conventional wisdom now suggests these bumps might not be what they once were.

Re: "Temple of Obama"
 

I am predicting that after Obama's speech tonight he will get a bump to an average of an 8 point lead but that by the end of the Republican convention they will be pretty much dead even again.

Re: "Temple of Obama"
 

I disagree. I think this speech will backfire on him. I believe that he will get so pumped up by the crowd that his arrogance will take over and be a complete turn off to people.
