“Temple of Obama”

What are the Democrats thinking? Will Barack Obama give his speech tonight in a toga (or the Greek equivalent)?
The Democrats have erected some sort of colonnaded stage at Denver’s mile-high Invesco Field that looks like a Greek temple—or the White House portico.
Republicans of course have pounced. They’re mocking the backdrop. “Temple of Obama,” the Republican National Committee is calling it.
“This Roman-like facade, a facade with Roman columns, is a perfect metaphor or icon for the point that it’s an interesting production, but behind it there’s not much there,” Minnesota Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty told ABC.
Greek, Roman, it looks silly. This is a football stadium.
Democrats responded that President Bush gave his acceptance speech in 2004 on a stage with similar columns.
Here’s my advice. Knock it over before the night begins.
