The above article doesn't mention Obama's boffo finish to his speech:
His Majesty will feed the entire stadium audience with five speckled trout and two organic multi-grain loaves of bread---all, of course, provided by a cooperative, unionized, minority-owned supermarket.
They do the National Anthem at the DNC?
I didn't think Socialists were into that sort of thing... /snark
Will The One be wearing a laurel wreath when he makes his entrance into the faux-Greek temple?
And will he have someone spreading palm fronds in his path? Jeez-Obama-Pete, you can't even parody this stuff any more!
I think he should wear a laurel wreath and tunic for full effect.
Belushi: Toga! Toga! Toga!
Racists! Homophobes! Plebians!
can't O-Boy just finish his waffles this once?
is it safe to say that Obama and his "hollywood" design team put this set idea together long before the McCain campaign started brand Obama as a celebrity and a god-like figure?
surely they would have time to change the set, right? or, is this something that couldn't be altered?
The only thing that comes to mind is the entrance Apollo Creed made in Rocky IV when James Brown sang "Living In America".
Then again, we know what happened to Apollo next when he fought Ivan Drago.
Hopefully this wasn't built by the same guys who built "Stonehenge" for Spinal Tap.
The McCain campaign should sponsor the segment, "commercial free."
This had better not involve virgins...
Let me be the first:
It's the O-cropolis!
I was thinking that myself, patrick. By now they have to realize this is a mistake. Changing it on such short notice my expose them to other mistakes, but I think they have to try.
It's like Obama doesn't want to win. Who started the "he's a Rovian plant" meme?
Will he arrive on a unicorn?
Or maybe he'll depart for the campaign trail on one.
No that can't be right either, he won't need to lower himself to campaign after the coronation.
You guys are killing me! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. :>D
This will make "reporting for duty" look like the Gettysburg Address.
Are they filming that new reality show, "Pimp My Dais" there?
yep comment on stage
and dont comment on issues
becasue you have no intelligent words.
Nick: The point is that with the O man, there is nothing else BUT image.
Nick, you speak of intelligence, yet cannot spell or use proper punctuation. You must be a product of the Chicago public schools in a community organized by Obama.
I am waiting for a wardrobe malfunction.
Does that remind anyone else of the Star Trek:TOS episode where they battled the Greek God Apollo? Didn't Apollo's Temple on the Trek soundstage look a lot like that?
Nick
The stage (O-cropolis) IS the comment on Obama.
Maybe if Oboy actually talked about how he and Michelle would actually solve any issues--instead of that hopey-changey hooey mixed with 2-3 positions a day on the same topic--we could put them on the O-cropolis dais along with Oboy.
But Oboy refuses to get specific. Wonder why that is.....
Having attained the status of "Rock
Star" in Berlin and found it insufficient, he now aspires to "Greek God."
Oh great! Now I have to hate classic Greek architecture too?
It really is incredible how the Obama campaign hasn't figured out that these gratuitous exercises in self-importance and adulation are beginning to REALLY CREEP PEOPLE OUT.
Ohhhkay. I think Obama watched the Olympics opening ceremony a bit too much.
Classic Greek architecture, particularly Rezko's townhouse at Delphi, IS a bit drafty - and Pegasus is NOT a unicorn.
wow, these are the funniest comments I've read in a long time. But props to Obama for teeing it up.
When will we wake up and realize that we are being deceived by the right? They say Obama is "just issues," that's he's just big speeches and big rallies and the Hollywood of politics, but that he has no real plans. Yet, you can go on his website and see his plans in details. They say his energy plan is "inflate your tiers," yet he has a detailed energy plan that will end our dependence on foreign oil, develop alternative energy sources, clean up our environment, and create jobs to replace the ones the Republicans let go overseas. They say he has no foreign policy experience, yet he opposed the Iraq war for all the reasons we now know it was a bad idea. They say he'll raise taxes on the middle class, when independent, objective, non-partisan fact-checking organizations show he'll cut taxes for the middle class, and he'll cut them more than McBush - I mean McCain.
And what makes all of this possible? How can they get away with these lies? Why are people yearning to fear Barack Obama? He's black.
Kevin, my lad, more mix, more ice.
Kevin's on to us. I just have one question for Kevin: What flavor Kool-Aid?
Kevin - Who are "they"?
Wow...Kevin do you really believe all that? Scary.
The O!-racle of the O!-cropolis.
Of course, the real comedy on this thread is Kevin...
At the end of the speech, they should release a thousand possums into the crowd. As a tangible symbol of change, and all.
you made my point
only ad hominem attacks
no issues
You American taliban can go right ON being TERRORISTS.

AND IF YOU FUCKing morons CANT UNDERSTAND WITHOUT PUNCTUATION YOU ARE DUMBER THAN i THOUGHT
Nick,
Turn off the computer and do your homework.
'You American taliban can go right ON being TERRORISTS.'
Speaking of ad hominem attacks.
Gee Nick, why didn't you just call us all Hitler or use on of the other favorite cliches of the left?
I guess calling everyone "Taliban" is the new Hitler. You know the far-left, always fashionable.
BTW, all of your yelling blew my speakers. You owe me!
I'm drinking the kool-aid? Go back through my post and point out what I said that wasn't true.
Kevin, you aren't the one lying, you're the one believing the lies. But on the other hand, I guess with the standard being "Bush lied" you _are_ the liar!
On second thought, why am I even entertaining a conversation with blindly racist fools. I looked through the posts on this blog and realized I'm waisting my time.
"will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple."?
Can anyone say, Spinal Tap?
All Obama needs now is a midget in a faun Pan suit dancing around, playing shepherd pipes and two waif-like nymphs blithely tossing rose petals.
You know you have them beaten when they play the 'racist' card.
Buh-bye, Kev. Enjoy the Kool-aid.
Kevin-
I for one am really getting tired of the "racist" shtick.
I will not vote for Obama, not because he is a black man, but because he is a Marxist. (Anyone who stays in a "Black Liberation Theology" church for twenty years, given the Marxist origins of the "Liberation Theology" church in Latin America, can be no other, unless he is phenomenally stupid."
So let's make a deal. You can call us racist, and we'll start calling you a fascist, and we'll call it even.
Hmmmm?
Good point JWF...it's really disheartening though. 
I guess they don't have courage to back up their supposed arguments if all they can do is play the race card. Or yell terrorist - which I admit is a new one to me.
*shrug*
I can't stand the "Messiah" because he's an empty suit with no original idea in his head. He's as crooked as any politician and hides it with a pretty thin facade of respectability.
He doesn't even know that Russia has a veto vote on the U.N. Security Council and has suggested several times that the Security Council meet regarding the Russia/Georgia conflict. As if that would do anything.
If he is elected I can only pray that the GOP take back the Senate and House in order to fight against his ridiculous, pie in the sky, liberal, hippy, 1960s ideas.
If the McCain campaign agrees to run an ad within an hour of Obambien's speech, consisting of a Spinal Tap parody of Obama with a 18" greek statue and midget, I will personally send them $500, in cash, the moment it runs. I will up it to $1,000 if they end the commercial with an Obama impersonator arguing with the convention planners about the statue, doing the whole 18" vs 18' thing.
All Obama needs now is a midget in a faun Pan suit dancing around, playing shepherd pipes and two waif-like nymphs blithely tossing rose petals.
Surely someone has a mole in deep cover in the DNC who could arrange for such a thing? Perhaps even convince Obama that it would add to the glory of the spectacle?
The Spinal Tap comparison occurred to me as soon as I saw a picture of the thing, because it's out of scale with the stadium. It looks tiny compared to the hugeness of the seat tiers rising behind it. Perhaps they'll do something with lighting that will help, but I suspect any panoramic shot during the speech will look faintly ridiculous.
I got called a racist! I won!
Did he write "waisted"? Dude, you must be if you write like that.
And what's up with pansyboy yelling and not using punctuation? Didn't your mommy let you attend English class? Poor baby. Now back into the basement with you...
you racists can be tired of the racist appellation (a label for you morons) all you want
but having lived and worked in the racist south (and military which I know you cowards never did) I can recognize you a mile away , or blog away.
Now I get it, you all must be those Vets that shot dead those Iraqis who were handcuffed.
I hope you have a good lawyer for your war crimes.
nick, lad. if you're gonna troll here, get a clue. We got chunks of guys like you in our stool.
Now this has been some funny stuff.
Somewhat offsets that poor two-headed baby.
"You can't pay for entertainment like this."
I don't know how Rove planted the mole that pushed out that idea but its spectacular. I can't wait to see how SNL or Mad TV does homage to this scene. Its 'Must see TV' for me now that this info is out.
Nick, you really need to lay off that projection dance you're doing. If you spent *any* time in the South you'd know it isn't what you've described.
I heard country club members in the 90s in South Carolina (thinking all whites are racist like you and them),
say out lowd "... niggers doing ...." and "fucking blacks dont belong in this country" etc
So fuck you racists till eternity.
Nick we are so shocked! Did you have to spell check the word fuck?
perhaps it was your mother hedrick
saying that stuff out loud.
or was she too busy giving you a blow job?
Forget about Obama riding Pegasus or a unicorn when he makes his grand entrance. To honor both parents and bring us all together, the obvious choice is a zebra.
hilarity nick! your momma jokes! how innovative of you! No one has ever done that this year...
here's some change, phone 2003
Now, Bill, don't be so hard on poor nick. In fact I'm sure he's poor because it's obvious his mama couldn't afford upper-case letters or punctuation when he was a boy.
The l'il nickster is obviously too confused to understand that you're laughing at Obama, not critiquing him. nicky, if you behave yourself we'll all chip in and get you handjob. Then you won't be so irritable all the time.
As for Kevin from philly club sandwhich, well, he's just so darn upset that we don't take his mindless, run-on, poorly-spelled drivel seriously. Yes, Kevin with the ham'n'cheese brain, we care quite capable of researching Barry's ideas, which are the same old recycled 60's cant we've heard a hundred times before. By the way, you forgot to mention that Barry will lower the rise of the waters, heal the lame, and get nick laid.
We are, in case you still haven't figured it out, laughing at you. The banal generalities you drool merely demonstrate your own limited intellect. It is possible to mount a respectable defense of Obama's platform. It's just that you aren't the one to do it. Hell, I could do a better job myself, and I think the man's a loony.
Kevin, realizing he's mentally out-gunned, and embarrassed that no one's taking his pablum seriously, decides he's "waisting" his time, tucks tail, and runs. Stay on the porch next time, pup.
By the way, miles and mega, CDR Salamander beat you to it. 
Casey, I think Philly-Steak & Cheese-boy just had a heart attack.
*takes hat off*
P.S. Hussein Obama is a Chicago political hack. Nothing more than a black-skinned puppet for Dickhead Daley.
Think about that come Nov.
"mentally out done "
when you can show you exceeded my sat or act scores, I will give you a point.
Casey, I will put up a paypal link for his handjob when I get a moment, thanks for the idea!
Casey-
I didn't see CDR Salamander, but hey great minds think alike....;P
But the overweening hubris of the Obama camp is going to attract Nemesis. [Hey, if they want the GReek pantheon, play it to hilt.]
And almost everyone I showed the Invesco temple to [including Obama supporters] agreed this is bordering on Spinal Tap self-parody
Sen Obama will arrive at the stage riding on the back of an ass, as befitting the Obamessiah.
The real question of course, is which Democrat ass will be selected to carry him.
oh, and Nick:
If you need to brag about how bright you are -- you ain't! your ACT and SAT scores? how third grade...
Generally when you want to boast your intelligence, bad grammar, spelling and word use undercuts such claims.
act /sat are the only OBJECtIVE measurements available
we know by subjective measurement that you are racist asses,
but that is subjective only
I just like how nick calls anyone who disagrees with obama racist so can we call black people who disagree with mccain racist?
I said that there were racists in the south , you are no necessarily one of that group.
