They're renaming Mt. Evans to Mt. Obamus for the occasion.

Obamapalooza: LIVE THREAD (Greek Temple Coronation, Fireworks, and 80,000 Fans)
Survey Poll: Which feature of tonight's Greek Temple coronation will really jump the shark and send the Obama cult over the top in silliness and grandiosity? The hydraulic elevation of the candidate to the podium , the fireworks and flashpots, the 80,000 hypnotized, screaming fans, or the rock concert soundtrack? About the only things missing will be Hannah Montana, Elvis, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones strutting down the runway with "the One" as the crowd boogies to the groove of Obamamania.
When it's over, will the 80,000 faithful pull out their butane lighters, demanding an encore?
The grandiosity of this ritual event - part coronation, part rock concert, part prayer meeting revival and primal scream therapy session - already has prompted one commentator to ask whether he has lost his mind. But what will the carbon footprint be for this Obamapalooza? Someone had to cut down the trees for the wood of these temple columns. Will the speech include stern admonitions about global warming? Just before the fireworks...
Any photos of the Temple of The One?
Are you absolutely sure of this?
It’s the temple of Diana at Ephesus.
Oh I hope so. With smoke machines! There must be smoke machines!
That has been reported. No word on whether Springsteen’s “Come on Up for a Risin’” will be playing at the point or not.
Has anybody told Barry that MLK was a Republican?
I’ll tell you what group is missing.....
Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders!!!!~!!
On another thread, I read there's a rap star scheduled to perform. Do you know?
They're renaming Mt. Evans to Mt. Obamus for the occasion.
Sheesh. Even the deus ex machina...
Just last night VP candidate Biden, spoke of the Middle class people they were representing, those that lost jobs, the nurses, firefighters, school teachers, those that lost their homes because of the current administration.....
Great example of how you will connect to those of us who lost jobs and homes...build a $$$ million dollar collisium for one night to celebrate yourself!!!!
How can you speak out of both sides of your mouth....
If I were John McCain...i would show a commercial with people who have lost jobs or homes and look at pictures of the money put out for this one night.....and say does this look like someone who feels your pain?????
I didn’t think so. 1 night 1 million dollars 1 BAD MOVE!!!!
Oh for Pete’s sake. They do have a deus ex machina.
She's now known as Hannah Obammah
Elvis
Obama will raise him from the dead during his speeech.
the Beatles
Obama will raise John and George from the dead and get them all to re-unite.
and the Rolling Stones
Obama will get them to stop taking drugs, the biggest miracle yet.
THIS IS SPINAL TAP!
Are you absolutely sure of this?
The set was originally designed for Hillary. It was the only way to get her up to the podium.
There may be a Kabuki Theater quality, particularly if the Bidens, Clintons, Kerrys, Carters, and Kennedys all join hand-in-hand for a round of "We are the World" or "Love Train" at the end. But Slick Willy supposedly has skipped out of town. He couldn't stomach not being center stage. No room for two messiahs in that party. It's just a shame John Edwards won't be there.
