What do you think of the temple obama built for himself.?

Question

whats next will he ride in a golden chariot to campaign or will he be taming lions in the temple or wresting gladiators. this could be a hollywood blockbuster in the making. i think it is too over the top he comes across a too full of himself not as the common american he claims too be.

Answer 1

Sigh...I answered a similar question yesterday so here goes again...

This argument is based on the right wing nutty pundits spewing their rhetoric. It has nothing to do with greek props other than perhaps to recognize Greece as the originator of democracy. I believe that his choice is to honor the anniversary of MLK's famous speech which was presented in front of the Lincoln Memorial which, interestingly enough, has greek pillars.

If you're going to bash Obama (and believe me, he's not my candidate of choice either), then lets come up with something better than his props!

Answer 2

i thought the staging was nice .. it looked liked windows with the lights on...  maybe even the whitehouse windows.  :)

and really, it helped hold up the big screens so the cheap seats could maybe see a little, and gave them a backstage to deal with logistics.

the fireworks were a bit over the top, but the confetti and streamers were very cool.

the place was packed with flag waving americans....   it was a moment in history.  

btw - will it help you to get over it to know that bush had similar columns at his convention?

Answer 3

He should have completed the look with a toga and an olive leaf headband.  And the clueless celebrities could actually get on their knees and kiss his sandaled feet.

Answer 4

Looks a lot like the one GW Bush built for his convention...

Answer 5

Reminded me of Washington DC.  All or most of our government buildings are Greek looking.  Or maybe you forgot that.

Answer 6

reminded me of FREE MASONS...it was almost cultish like...h**l, I was even drawn into it all but now the thrill has worn off....I must analyze.

Answer 7

I think it's funny that Republicans keep calling Obama the Messiah or a God.  Perhaps they know something that we Democrats don't.  ;-)

Answer 8

LOVED IT!!

Answer 9

So, are you intelligent to come up with an actual argument or what?
