Obama’s Zeus-like temple setting

But hey, don’t go thinking that the guy is a narcissistic egomaniacal elitist with a God complex and a gi-normous sense of entitlement, m’kay?  From Rick Klein of ABC News’ blog:

So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches — Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden.

Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft?

It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a “Greek temple.”

Thus a legend — not the good kind — was born.

Said one Democrat: “This is a disaster of mythical proportions.” Said another: “It’s not enough that he wants to be president — he wants to be Zeus.” Said the first: “Will he send down thunderbolts from the mountain?”

Those are the Democrats — though assuredly not Obama partisans. Cue the Republicans: The RNC blasted around an e-mail referring to the “Temple of Obama.”

“Tomorrow you’re going to see Obama come down from Olympus to be among us mere mortals,” Michael Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told reporters in Denver.

If The One is Zeus, then I suppose that moonbat old bag he’s married to is Hera.

You know, it’s probably a good thing he moved his speech to Invesco Field: I doubt any indoor facility would be big enough to house that massive ego of his.
