Apparently, Obama's stage for his speech at the DNC is set up to look like an ancient Greek temple.

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.

Perhaps next Mr. Obama can provclaim himself the reincarnaiton of Appolo.

It fits his godlike persona he likes to project, or rather his handlers liek to project.
