McCain camp gleefully mocks 'temple of Obama'
Breitbart.com ^ | August 27, 2008 | AFP Stories

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.

Republicans sent out an edition of their "Audacity Watch" email newsletter which they use to point out perceived examples of hubris by the Obama campaign, titled "The Temple of Obama."

Ironically McCain is the enemy.

The Doof. That’s what we used to call former Indiana basketball “coach” Mike Davis. Going from Bob Knight to Mike Davis, not the kind of change anyone could believe in but, just like Obama, many did. We now know that worked out REALLY well.

It’s definitely over the top, but completely in line with that disgusting photo of BO — haughty, nose in the air, smug look on his weasly face. Perfect.

This rivals the “Obama Presidential Seal” except that he can’t take it down after one appearance.

Roman Emperors were gods. The Imperial Cult was about worship of the Emperor who was a divine being with absolute powers.

Republicans need to learn to hold fire until AFTER the RATS make fools of themselves. Telegraphing your punches before the event is stupid. It gives the enemy time to think of a way to make themselves look less ridiculous.

Yep, for someone who claims to be for the “common man,” Obama’s entire campaign has been over the top. I hope his Hollywood friends and PR people keep pushing this stuff.

I agree with you. Fortunately, sometimes the Rats are too full of themselves they don't change anything.

NO! this is perfect. Now 1) Obama will be off his game feeling stupid while talking and 2) People who watch will be laughing the whole time.

Result? No bounce.

“Indonesia Jones and the Temple of Electoral Doom”

OOOOHHHHHH good one!!!

Believe me, if I had any Photoshop skill, I'd be all over some movie posters.

Or if I had video shooting and editing talent, I'd have the YouTube ad already up, showing a hapless Indonesia Jones running through the jungle, trying to escape the giant rolling boulder of his liberal record.

Maybe get the movie announcer guy to read the ad...

"You thrilled to 'Raiders of the Left Wing', and chilled to 'The Lost Campaign' and 'The Empty Skull'. Now, see Indo in his most amazing adventure yet... The Temple of Electoral Doom"
