Worship at the Temple of Obama!

Now I see why Obama wants to accept the Democrat nomination at Invesco Field; his pompous ego wouldn’t fit inside Denver’s Pepsi Center.
DENVER (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos’ National Football League team plays.
Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington’s Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party’s nomination for president.
He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.
Wow. Pretentious much?
A Greek temple for the Obamessiah; would that be called the O-cropolis? He couldn’t possibly be overcompensating for his lack of presidential qualifications, could he?
Ok, ok, maybe he’s not trying to sanction his cult of personality with a temple before which his delirious followers can genuflect. Maybe he’s just being a little overly ambitious again, trying to evoke the image of being in the White House before the voters have placed him there (kinda like his presidential seal knockoff).
Ed Morrissey noticed this is another farcical Obama cult moment that seems to come straight from a Star Trek episode, this time from “Who Mourns for Adonis?”
The parallels are interesting, at least. Obama wants to treat us the way Apollo treated the Enterprise crew — as children who need do nothing but gather food and worship him. He promises them peace, tranquility, and happiness, as long as they agree to become his servants and relinquish their free will. In the end, Kirk and his crew destroy his power source and send him off to his fellow demigods in bitterness rather than allow themselves to become enslaved to Apollo.
Allahpundit think Obama’s coronation plans aren’t grandiose enough…
What about a giant plaster Lincoln head descending from the sky with Obama inside, and once it hits the stage he breaks through out of the top hat like the Hulk? Or how about the lights come up to reveal statues of Jesus, MLK, Gandhi, and The One — except his isn’t a statue, it’s really him and he was just standing perfectly still. Then he comes “magically” to life as the camera hits him. Awesome.

[...] at Ground Zero may well be an appropriate move toward closure for some folks, but after years of narcissistic self-aggrandizement by Team Obama and the rest of the lamestream media, I’m very jaded and more than a bit wary [...]
