Obama’s Temple of Doom
Fake Greek columns? Check.
Will he be backlit with his famous glowing halo, too?
Who designed the stage, anyway? The Chinese Olympic ceremony planners?
And will the thousands of worshipers kneel before the temple and raise their hands dutifully in the Magical O?
I hope it doesn’t rain. Hope and Change don’t taste as good when they’re soggy.

Emperor “Zero” (goes great with the O hand sign)
I hear Obama’s campaign is re-thinking this approach after the gut chuckle from the Right.
It’s truly disturbing that the liberals have established Global Warming as a religion (with the Goreacle as its highpriest), and now Obama as their messiah.
This is what happens when you are godless hippies.
The McCain campaign said it best:
“Is this from the Onion?”
Gah! Just more proof he thinks he’s a god. What a joke! Not funny either.
Will they have pyrotechnics ??? And will ayers be in charge of it ???
What is the carbon footprint for all this nonsense?
The only symbol missing will be the swastika.
Do you think bho will ride in on an elephant like Cleopatra did in Rome with gals spreading roses on the ground before him?
L
A Greek Temple? What the hell? That’s just weird. I thought Greek Temples were used to worship Greek Gods. The Obamessisah cometh.
No I think it is from the 2008 Virginia Rebuplican Convention.
Somewhere in Hell, Leni Riefenstahl is whining that they’re ripping off her ideas.
toga, toga!, Toga!!, TOGA!!!
That Allahpundit cracks me up!
BHO is the gift that keeps on giving. The joke is so obvious… McCain probably has his commercial ready to go.
.
Just had a good laugh.
When I first read the healines I thought it said “Obama’s Temple of DUMB.”
Need to read more slowly..
.
I wonder if, when the podium rises above the platform, a hidden choir will raise a sound reminiscent of the “heavenly host?” Two hundred voices singing one note in unison….”Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!”
The message….”He truly IS the ONE, sent to earth as a “gift” to mankind!”
I’m think I’m going to hurl!!
cheesy…just cheesy
Those columns don’t remind me of Greece, they remind me of a little house on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Nice try.
One more thing in common with the ancient Greeks..
infanticide..
That’s a good one, Jim!
“Zero” fiddled while Denver(Rome) burns.
Could the Invesco Temple of O be a parallel to Nero’s massive extravagant personal palace that took up most of the good space in the middle of the city, and angered the populace?
The next emperor tore it down and built the Forum in it’s place for the people. Good move.
As I said earlier, a Greek temple is perfect since Obama evokes another Greek: Narcissus.
#4:
Did they really say that?
After his speech the “chosen One” will circle the field in his green chariot.
And did you read the link which MM posted up top:
Thats God Emperor to you mere mortals!!!
———
TOS that site would make sense if the GOP were continuly being pushed as some kind of messiah like obama is.
Reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. All the legions coming to see the Great One. Seeking HopenChange and the lowering of the oceans and the healing of the planet. All the smoke and mirrors. Just ignore that man behind the curtain.
Bacchus Obama America. His followers drink fine wine, no kook aid for them.
Time to buy more shares of the Upjohn Pharmaceuticals company.
Why? Because they make one of the most effective anti-panic drugs on the market.
Howard Dean’s DNC will be making a colossal mass-purchase of the stuff by end-of-day.
best mispelling ever.
Just noticed both Barack and Michelle Obama like to punctuate the air with hand gestures. Especially finger pointing into the air. I should be thankful it’s not the Nazi salute. That might dim the halo a tad.
Maybe the O campaign is looking for a different kind of symbolism…those columns also look a lot like those that adorned the mansions in the antebellum south. The message to black voters…takin’ ova da massah’a house.
The beauty of symbolism is that interpretations are in the mind of the beholder. Curious that Hillary referenced the underground railroad, and slaves running from those who would keep them enslaved. They’ve opened the door to this type of thought, and elucidation.
it fits perfectly, a temple for the messiah and a place for the toga party debauchery afterwards. all camps are happy now.
Barack Obama will probably say:
Just remember, Barack, the last guy who proclaimed himself “King of the World”… well, his boat sank. Just like your poll numbers are now doing.
Sonofdy, done on purpose.
Oh, I get it. It’s the Lincoln Memorial.
Odumbo’s ego is so over the top that it has become comical.
If you do not start refering to Obama by his proper title, God Emperor, he will strike you down from his temple of earth loving wood!!!!
/sarcasm off.
still good… all hail the god emperor!!!
Wha? What’d I do? Oh not me.
Somehow I find Spinal Tap’s song for Stonehenge strangely appropo.
There ya go. He’s not portraying himself as a god. The columns are meant to invoke the Lincoln Memorial and MLK. I’m sure that will be the narrative anyway.
On August 27th, 2008 at 12:31 pm,
This reminded me of Zero Mostel’s “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”.
When asked to comment Michelle Obama said ” My husband has always enjoyed Greek.”
Obamacrats of the world unite!
Very useful idiots indeed.
Humility is a spiritual principle. Today’s popular culture idolizes and imitates those who narcissistically draw attention to themselves, usually in negative ways. Tila Tequila is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Also, the you-tube kids who video tape fights and dumb stunts, such as throwing a cup of soda back at the server at a drive thru window exemplify this form of social degradation. Likewise, Obama will attempt to draw attention to himself in any way he can. Obama understands the MTV shock culture that worships attention, thrill seeking and immediate gratification.
Hillary’s people must of planned this.
Now I’m thinking of the movie Gladiator. The boy emperor with no military experience and lots of social programs, stages a glorious entry to the Colosseum complete with elevator from the floor and showers of rose petals. But he faces Maximus, a man who has personally fought the battles for Rome, and has the respect of the nation for it. Hmmmmm……
Remember the stab in the ribs just before the fight to handicap the great warrior? That’s a parallel for the current media environment. The true warrior has to fight the boy emperor wounded from the start, but he still pulls it off. He did die anyway though.
Just a thought.
Opening acts will be performed by the ghosts of Trotsky, Lenin, and Marx.
They should have decorated it this way..
The Toilet Ticket
No Odumpo/Bidet 08′
Yawn. Just watch his numbers drop more.
Geez, Frank Herbert must be spinning in his grave… God Emperor DOOM (DUNE)….. all will be bobbing and swooning in the arena as the enlightened one levitates down to the temple stage. All the world will stand still…. Bwahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!! What an incredible demonstration of ego. Loser.
Any truth to the report that Bill Ayers is the choreographer for the post speech fireworks display?
Like I said on another thread…Obama would consider that statement redundant.
Hmmm. Let’s mix our metaphors a bit to see how this comes out:
“May The Barack be with you.”
“And also with you!”
ajmontana – oh so perfect!! LMAO!
Actually, the structure is Roman.
I hear the speech now:
Friends, activists, Democrats, lend me your souls …
(with apologies to W. Shakespeare)
MLK wouldn’t judge Obama by the color of his skin. He would more likly judge that by the company he keeps. So they may want to stay away from that narrative.
Barry O don’t remember this classic from the Eagles:
There was beer all over the dance floor
and the band was playin’ rhythm and blues
You got down and did the gator, and half
an hour later, you were barfin’ all over your
Girlfriend’s shoes.
But the Greeks don’t want no freaks.
The Greeks don’t want no freaks
Just put a little smile on them rosy
cheeks,
‘Cause the Greeks don’t want no freaks.
(GATOR!!)
She was the pride and the passion of Dixie
She did exactly what her daddy had planned.
She was perfect little sister until somebody missed
her and they found her in the bushes with
the boys in the band
But the Greeks don’t want no freaks
The Greeks don’t want no freaks
So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,
‘Cause the Greeks don’t want no freaks
No, the Greeks don’t want no freaks
Said, the Greeks don’t want no freaks
Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks
‘Cause the Greeks don’t want no freaks
No, the Greeks don’t want no freaks,
Ahh…
I burned myself on my coffee with that one!
When Bacchus Hubris Obamanus speaks, will the clouds part? Will his sceptre sparkle? Will his chalice glow?
Aw heck, they were probably all bought at WalMart.
They are flush with ideas.
Yes, except for the inner circle giving the “three-fingered fork” salute.
If I were at the convention, I would be covering my heart when Obama comes out.
“Mola Ram, prepare to met Kali . . . in Hell!” – Indiana Jones
Obama has 300 “advisors”. King Leonidis had 300 Spartans at Thermopoyle. This is one of those days I wished I had some photoshop skills….
I can’t tell from the picture where they plan on sacrificing the vigins to him. Oh wait, these are liberals. Are there any virgins among them?
Thermopylae
Can’t wait to take this split off my finger.
The dead will rise…and then vote!
(I can say this because I’m one of there gays, too). This is a sure sign a gay is doing this. It’s just so over the top. There’s not much more gay than the Greeks.
I know. He’s a parody unto himself.
looks like something Chris Angel would orchestrate – of course, they’re both illusionists – duh me!
Two thoughts come to mind:
1. Hopenchange’s high water mark was when he finally slew the Dragon Lady and captured the donkey nomination. After this simultaneous peak-out/flame-out moment, he’s been falling back to Earth at an accelerating rate. The donkey gathering in Denver is in serious danger of becoming either a bounceless convention, or even a negative-bounce convention.
2. The Invesco-Field-as-Munich-Rally tribute to Hopenchange’s mammoth ego has all the indicia of being his “Jump-the-Shark” moment. Anyone who doesn’t come away from Hopenchange’s over-the-top theatrical celebration of Self is either a Kool-Aid connoisseur or simply isn’t paying attention. There’s no third possibility.
BackOff MyMama is beginning to morph into Alfred E. Newman, albeit with a better orthodontist.
Something that just crossed my mind…
Will tomorrow night event be something like the Nuremberg rallies of the 30′s or the old USSR May Day/Revolution Day parades? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
I can only imagine the hot tempers as people try to navigate the highways, biways and expressways outside the stadium. Completely inconvenienced by “the one” and for no reason except he thinks it’s cool.

oops sorry
For the first time in their lives, Putin, Jong Il, & Ahmadinejad have all converted.
They are praying to God that OBummer wins in November.
A Powerline photoshop of The One says it all.
The pending Obama football stadium sideshow is taking on shades of the “Dragnet” movie where Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks rescued the “Virgin Connie Swail”, during the “PAGAN” sacrificial ceremony. If this dolt wasn’t so dangerous he’d be a side splitting joke.
Dave
That picture from PowerLine is hillarious! I particularly like the touch of Obama holding the arugula in one hand…
Damnit! We need to strategically time our derision as to allow them to self-destuct without our warning.
If they tear it down now, the “dream” really will be a revealed nightmare.
Surely he must be the anti Christ.
Even using a biblical backdrop.
I hope Moses parts his way.
Hang on a minute. Isn’t Soros Greek?
Sorry, here’s the link I meant to post.
Oh crap. Does that include the little boys?
I believe he’s Hungarian.
Even better:
There will be no parking at Invesco for Obama’s coronation.
They want people to bike, walk or take public transit in keeping with the convention’s “green theme”.
I can’t wait to see 80,000 people making the Obama pilgrimage on their knees, up the steps of Invesco, doing the universal Obama hand sign: the two-handed “O”.
Don’t remind me. I hate thinking that the country my parents came from is the same one that this clown came from.
I really thought I had something there. Are they far away from each other?
Wow…. great idea…
Anyone in Denver up for a Repub/Conservative TOGA party?
I’m local… find a spot, I’d be there!
Regulus #72: Your post is excellent. I agree this could be hopeandchanges ‘Jump the Shark” moment. We can only hope.
madchef i missed that reaction from michelle. too funny
Yes, far enough.
I wonder if genuflection will be a requirement for all in attendance. Then again, maybe his followers will genuflect because they want to.
Creepy.
Aside from his girlfriend and a couple of others blowing themselves up making a bomb he designed, ayers is an incompetent (but dangerous) terrorist.
Are the footbaths ready?
Shades of the “knuckle.” Seriously, that’s what I want to see done by my president and his wife – how sophmoric and this “event” is more of the same. Coooollll dude! Sheesh!
I did see an article that said Obama is re-thinking this…of course after the word got out.
