Republicans, who mock Barack Obama as a self-appointed divine savior, gleefully pounced Thursday on pictures of the set for his big convention speech, which appears to resemble a temple. The Democratic presidential candidate will accept the party White House banner before a more than 70,000-strong crowd at an outdoor football stadium here late Thursday.

Pictures and an aerial film footage of the set being constructed for the speech show a curved backdrop with creamy, gray column-like structures, which could suggest Washington architecture, or a classical structure, like a Greek or Roman temple.

“I hear what you’re saying but how do you avoid commentary about arial photos of a stupid fake Greek temple going around the Inernet?”

I snuck over to DU land to see their spin on the “temple”. They claim it is supposed to be the White House and think conservatives are idiots for thinking it looks greek. My guess is that Obama wants to show America that he wouldn’t look out of place as President. In other words he wants to accustom us to the image of a black man in front of the White House. I think people will see the whole thing as a giant ego trip.
