JSMelkiteOrthodoxy Member Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 2196 Loc: Georgia U.S.	Apparently, Obama's stage for his speech at the DNC is set up to look like an ancient Greek temple. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=5660266

Pustinik Member Registered: 06/08/08 Posts: 76 Loc: Mid-Atlantic USA	I am indeed sympathetic and supportive of much that Senator Obama proposes, apart from his position of right-to-life issues. Yet this image, with Washington, DC and ancient Greece recreated on stage, calls to mind something that forum members may recall -- the Potemkin villages. Or is it just our culture with Hollywood's stagecraft hard at work.... History is in the making - may God bless our country and all the candidates as they seek truth and represent their vision to our fellow citizens. -Pustinik ------------------------ "Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved." –St. Serafim of Sarov
