Another Addition to the Larry Johnson “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” Collection

Brought to you by the irony-free Barack Obama campaign. The hits just keep on coming. Courtesy of Howard Dean, Donna Brazile and Nancy Pelosi: Denver hosts the world’s biggest toga party!
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple….
…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.
Hmmm..noooo, I don’t think so. I’ve seen the set. Looks like a Greek Temple to me, not the Capitol or the White House. But nice try Reuters.
“Adonis”…….Not.
Egomania or what?
I can imagine how well the fake Greek columns will go over in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and the rest of the damn country.
This is really a “Let them eat cake” blunder, typical of the elitism that distinguishes BO and his sycophants.
I won’t be watching him, that’s for sure.
Maybe they are trying to change it to “let them eat grapes?” Good for Nancy’s constituents? hahahahahahahaha
Let me make one small addition:
Good for Nancy Drill In Your Head’s constituents?
She needn’t remind people that she is such a freaking headache!
But Narcissus… yes. They should build an ornamental pond just off stage left where he can deliver a short monologue during his speech.
LOL!!! Good one, Hope Floats.
More like Caligula!
Obamaligula, Obamaligula, Obamaligula.
does this mean he is going to bring back his fake presidential seal?
i can’t wait…
he never learns does he?
ah ha ha haha hahahah

Can’t watch it. Won’t vote for him, no matter what Hillary says. Nobama, no way, no how…NEVER.
I’ll watch it. I’m sure I’ll be LMFAO.
POPCORN Time
Watching it on FOX. Never thought I would ever say that!
Yeah, I do watch Fox. Although I still have to flip around because they have their own flavor of kool-aide. I’m now an indenpendent because I hate kool-aide.
the comments on that Rueters story are hilarious…

The German government wouldn’t let Obama demagogue in front of the Brandenburg Gate, a Greek styled edifice. So, he built one of his own in Denver.
Maybe Madonna will fly in to assume the role of Der Fuhrer’s Eva Braun.

well you know,
Madonna is starting to look more and more like Leni Riefenstahl. She can do her little “Triumph of the “O” world tour!
You’ve got to be kidding. No wait. It’s not April 1, so you must be serious.
Nope. Not gonna play well in middle America.
You’re exactly right. The grass roots backlash against the “cult of adoration” will continue.
I couldn’t help but listen to the latte liberals talking about the convention last night.
They kept asking each other for reasurrance and giving each other emotional support about Michelle’s speech and how that was coming across.
I actually heard one of them say
“I don’t think those Bitter racist folk have TV’s to watch how great Obama is”.
I turned to them and told them they’re right…
Us bitter folk live in the modern age. We turned off our TV’s and now we just use Computers and blackberrys.
My wife stopped me from saying anymore!
Does anyone know if we can write in Hillary Clinton during the November election? How do we do that with an electronic voting machine?
You can write her name in even on electronic machines but you should check to see how your state counts write in votes. Some record it as a vote for the person you write in and some count it for the party. Call your County Clerk to find out. I did, New Jersey counts for the person you write in.
Hail O-HOLE!! YUCK. Picture all those supporters giving him the fist hole salute. TOO FUNNY!
NOBAMA!!
ROFL.
Man and he wants to paint Mc Cain as the rich guy that does not care what he does with money, as the man that has no heart for the poor and middle class.
All this money wasted with overly priced staged management and not a Greek temple I would love to see the design bill for all this crap. I think they should also throw in a few chariots to bring in the King.
Yep this sure is one for the books, talk about big spenders I shudder to think what Obama will do with public funds if he gets his hands on it, he sure seems to think spending as the sky is the limit when it comes to winning an election, so how if he does get into office can he ever turn back from that?
All of a sudden all I could think of was “fractured fairy tales.” Opening is all that is really necessary for those of us who are old enough to remember Rocky and Bullwinkle!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nea6Azgh1Pk
“Fractured Fairy Tales” (although “Fractured Horror Stories” might be more accurate?) is the perfect description of an Obama presidency. The problem being that we would have to actually live through it.
Now, if we could just get the lift to stop half-way up, we could really have some excitement.
he sure seems to think spending as the sky is the limit when it comes to
winning an electionhimselfYes, consider the multiple millions he already blew through! Oh well, it’s not his hard earned money.
Obama is happy to keep demanding more more more….
I wonder how those down-ticket Democrats are feeling. Didn’t Obama promise to help them financially with their campaigns? I don’t think there’s going to be much left over for them.
Chariots? They can have footage of Yul Brenner from The Ten Commandments. It will follow up nicely on the Moses commercials.
I read that it cost $60 million to rent the stadium and Obama had to hold special fund-raisers to get the money.
One word - PATOOEY!
He’s trying to recreate something but seems to have forgotten what it is. Just the very thought of him speaking on the anniversary of King’s speech is just a bit much. This man could never hold a candle to King. King was highly respected, that’s something obama has yet to grasp.
Drill Here Drill Now in Denver - lmao
Pelosi forgot I guess.

Since Obambi is such a fan of late term abortions, maybe he will SACRIFICE AN INFANT during his hedonistic greek “coronation.”
Meanwhile the souls of 40 million murdered fetuses will scream out in anguish from Limbo.
If Obama wins, how many more must die?
Vote McCain! Go PUMA!
Sick comment…
Considering his vote for infanticide, I actually think that’s quite an appropriate comment. How many abortion survivor babies have been allowed to starve and dehydrate to death in Illinois because of Obama’s vote for infanticide?
Fetuses are fetuses, NO CHILDS!
Cmon folks, why be surprised at this?
Consider how few rights women had during Greece ancient times. They had to shut up and listen to the men and let them run things.
Obviously a reflection of how the One really feels
Also, the ancient Greeks loved boys more than women. They viewed women as filthy beasts.
How fitting now that secrets of Obama’s dr*g fueled g*y orgies in the corn fields of Illinois are coming out into the open!
The greeks were also renown for their pedaphelia and orgies with anyone.
We now know that Barry’s mentor (sure does need a lot of them)Frank Marshall Davis was a pedophile, and Ayers bisexual. We have heard about the Purple Room hotel in Chicago, where at least one man connected to the Rezko mess, said men would go there and party all day and do drugs.
As far as gay people, I have no problem with them. The problem lies if a person running for POTUS was bi sexual and did not disclose it. They would be open to blackmail. That is why there is a vetting process, or supposed to be one.
Hmmm, Mark Foley comes to mind….
Haven’t been watching ANY cable “news” networks for months and months - for obvious reasons.
But last night I watched the CONvention coverage on Fox - fair and balanced - imagine that!
One thing - they said that Fox, on the first night of the DNC, had much higher ratings than CNN and they, of course, squashed MSNBC - at the “Democratic” CONvention!
So, it seems a whole helluva lotta people are watching Fox cover this barkypalooza - and I can’t wait to see their reaction to the royal Greek treatment of “The One.” Should be hilarious.
Interesting that it’s widely known that one of BO’s biggest problems is working class folks and supposedly he’s now trying to court that group - well - this royal treatment for HIMSELF should go a long way toward reconciling with us regular folk, eh? As somebody on one of the blogs said, if he REALLY wanted to appeal to real people, he’d have done this in a humble setting where he could talk about real things and relate like real people TO real people. Not his style, though - obviously.
I hope the pundits CRUCIFY him - though I don’t hold out much hope for that, except on Fox. What are the bots gonna do if his poll numbers drop after his own CONvention? LOL!

There is no way this grandiose behavior is going to bring in any votes. I predict this will really turn off the American public.
This guy will go down as one of the most outrageous characters we have ever seen run for president.
What a shame for the AA community and history. This should be such a historic moment for our country, and he ruins it by making a fool of himself.
I’m just waiting for a repeat of “This is Spinal Tap”, with Obama taking the stage with fog machines going full tilt, and then a teeny, tiny minature of what what supposed to be a full-scale replica of the Capitol Rotunda comes down from above looking alot like a charm bracelet bought from the Congressional gift-shop.
A girl can dream can’t she!?
I’d like to see Obama stuck in one of those pods
in Spinal Tap as well.
On the subject of of Greek symbols…
How about “Icarus”?
Icarus, Oedipus (mighty funny feeling about Ob’s feelings for Stanley Anne); Agamemnon (would you turn your back on Michelle?)All in all, the perfect setting for the Hubris of the Tool to set the gods in motion to destroy him. Come on Zeus and Hera, come on Ares and Artemis and Athena… there is a punk pretending to belong on Mount Olympus.
I think he should go all out and have Cirque de Soleil acrobats scaling the columns of that temple, robots shooting laser beams from their eyes, and a thousand white doves released while Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen blares out from the speakers.
It could be made into a costume party too. Everyone attending could come dressed as BORG. OHHH what fun! I finally have found a reason to I can vote for BO. He knows how to throw a party!
If he comes out in a toga with a leaf crown, you got something. Otherwise, all this does is just give you PUMA player haters more to whine about.
kelvin it’s time for you to get on your short yellow bus, go on now, run along.
I think Kelvin is having doubting thoughts about the one.
Embarrassed yet ?
If Bots could ever be Embarrassed it would have been along time ago.
Oh Kelvin please tell us that this isn’t you.

Kelvin–there’s an old saying, “The word that’s closest to the heart is the first on the lips.” The form of the show is like the words, it comes from someone’s inner vision. Don’t kid yourself that underlings with poor taste are cooking all this show up without feedback from BO/BS. His approval must be inferred. Ask yourself, what kind of visions have been projected by this campaign? Charlton Heston as Moses is way too close.
Plywood, what an apt metaphor.
the higher he goes the more devastating the fall will be when he comes crashing down.
Please, please, please let the plywood facade fall over with a thud! I predict a wardrobe malfunction shortly afterward.
Apparently they have no idea how ridiculous Obama looks when he does these things. It will not sit well with the average person.
And it will be great fodder for the Repub ads.
it appears they have never met a regular person the way they plan these things
Pelosi sounds more deranged by the day
my husband really thinks she is mentally unstable now
I have to agree..
Gladiators and chariot races!!!
All wearing
lyinloin cloths..Great Snapshot, Larry!
This clinches his defeat.
That’s hysterical; Maybe they can fly OBama in on wires like a Deus ex Machina.
Oh look, I found a clip of Obama rehearsing his big entrance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuSl2spOWSI
OMYFCKNGOD that was HILARIOUS!!!!!! Man Obama is channelling Elizabeth Taylor!!!!!
Love it, but I think they better add some time to the schedule.
thank you!
Hah. I think that this might be racist as there are no nubian princesses to flock to his feet.
See, this is what happens when Goofy picks Joe. Now we have no choice to repeat the old saying, “Oh no, say it aint so, Joe”
And they think either of these don’t show BB’s true self? Elitist and presumptuous? Talk about out of touch. Did they put his seal on the stage too? OMG…really tell me these idiots did not do this.
This Greek temple thing is another gift to Mc Cain, I am very sure they are rolling over in stitches with this.
A simple podium could of done the trick but no the Obama camp just had to go a make a mockery of this thing, everything has to be the grandest affair.
The blogs are already alight with funny pics and links to u tube roman clips, all I am waiting now on is the Republican ad to hit the airwaves with this one am sure its going to be good.
hey he knows his thugs might not be able to steal enough votes to win the election if the Clinton Democrats vote for mccain…
so he is just thinking of getting some cool props to play make believe with in his basement of his Rezko fraud mansion… he is already extending the basement to fit the colums…

I was going to skip his speech but now I think it could be the farce of these elections and I wouldn`t want to miss that.
Reminds me of the movie: “Jewel of the Denial”
Obama is Omar.
The press is “just Joan”, whose task is to generate the fluff pieces that will introduce Obama to the world as an enlightened ruler.
The event in the stadium is the festival at which a British rock & roll technician’s smoke and mirrors special effects will be used to convince the world that Obama is in fact a prophet that will unite the world under his rule.
I see rose petals along the walkway.

Lord. The Republicans don’t have to lie or make anything up. This guy just keeps handing it to them the silver platter. He is writing the campaign ads for them, and the idiotic new Obamacrats are too full of themselves to realize they are paying homage to Oblah, Oblah building his own political tomb.
I love Hillary and keep thinking about what she said last night about all of the “invisible” people. Because of what Hillary said, I am somehow supposed to believe that this narcissistic egomaniac sees anything beyond his own reflection?
Barack’s own brother is invisible to him and living in poverty. He doesn’t see his own brother so I am supposed to believe he sees all the invisible people of America? I think not. The Greek Columns are in his way.
Nice try, Hillary, but BO’s actions undermine eveything you tried to do last night.
Note: Stupidist comment made by and Obamacrat about Hillary’s speech last night: “If the Hillary we saw last night was there before, I wouldn’t have even considered Barack.”
Bull hockey. The Hillary we saw last night was there all along. You just refused to acknowledge until it helped your inexperienced, unqualified, arrogant pick.
What a sham! I gave lots of money to Hillary’s campaign and not a nickel to the DNC. Boy, am I happy about that. The DNC is a disgrace and the amount of money they are wasting is obscene. Or, maybe it’s the money from all the $5.00 BO contributors making it all happen. Right? Yeah, right…Pass the cheetos!
Hey Kelvin!
Soooooo funny the way you bots keep trying to call our MOCKING, MAKING FUN OF, RIDICULING your “greek god” idiot “whining.” LOL!
Seems you bots are the idiots who never cease your WHINING. Of course, PROJECTION is the modus operandi of both barry soetoro and his mesmerized bots - has been from Day 1.
Obama must really think he is some kind of GOD, first he wanted to make his speech in Germany with the backdrop being these roman like pillars, he did not to do that, so what does he do he goes to Denver and is building his own Greek Temple to speak at.
Now is that not someone that has some kind of deep problem, I think they should get someone in the know to analyze Obama this is not natural, what the hell is his obsession with these Greek pillars or settings?
This man needs help people really.
Obama’s Temple of Doom coming to a theater near you. He is a hack and half.
OMG, hilarius (misspelling inentional)
Does this guy have delusions of grandeur or what? The only thing heavenly about Obama is the stench of his ego, which reaches the high heavens.
Haven’t we seen people like this in power before? I’m thinking Nero, Caligula…you get the picture.
I heard on Fox earlier that the Obama campaign is “rethinking” the Invesco Field decision. I guess our making fun of this is starting to get to them. The backdrop does look ridiculous. You can tell that Obama and his camp really don’t have a clue how over-the-top this whole thing is. Obama suffers from delusions of grandeur, and his people worship at his feet. What a complete and utter fool.
He can rethink all he wants, but the damage is done. Millions of people the world over have seen it. When it hits the top of Drudge it is world wide. If he takes it down he flip flops and still looks foolish. If he leaves it up he still looks foolish. But wait! They will take it down, claiming it was not structurally safe. I wonder how many code violations they had? Did they get a permit? And some people still want this joke to run the country? I bet Putin does.
So do we want to try and fiqure out which GOD he will dress as for his acceptance speech?
Will it be:
Zeus
Hermes
Hubris
or
Cronus
He will still be Set, whatever face he puts on.
Ahhh good one. How could I have forgotten Set.
Might be a little scary for PG viewing so many of the BO kids could not watch. (nightmares and all ya know.)
Symbolism…. what message is Barry sending out to the world? Will there be lions and gladiators there too?
Yes!! And a few Hillary supporters to lure them out of the locker rooms. No wonder they needed all those volunteers!
I hope he doesnt give the thumbs down too much… what a mess that would be.
Well, it all makes sense. Obama lacks the substance to back up the hype, so he has to resort to the appearance of substance. But his handlers’ attempt at projecting gravitas using props, both human and architectural, winds up inadvertently exacerbating The One’s image as an empty suit celebrity.
It reminds me of a newly wealthy family friend we used to have. He had amassed a fortune from the dot com boon in the 90s by stealing ideas from his partner whom he had defrauded. Anyways he promptly built a mansion for himself and his family, was especially proud of the library in his home. The library had much to be envied, but was rather perplexing given the owner’s self- professed aversion to reading. Secretly, he’d tell friends that it’s all for show only, since he was now wealthy and needed to project an air of refinement. Being around people like this since I was a child, I can spot insincerity a mile away. Obama has always seem phony to me….all show and no substance.
