		<description>Sorry to spoil your good time, but Washington is covered with neo-classical columns. The set actually looks like the East Colonnade of the White House (notice the windows between the columns).
Some pictures here:

Move along, nothing unusual here.</description>

		<description>Sometimes, you have to wonder if he would just go to Vegas instead of back to the Senate when he goes down in flames this November. He's really turning into the Liberace of American politics. This sort of shenanigans you would normally come to expect from someone in one of the unpronounceable "-stan" countries who has 12 consonants in a row in his name. Oh well...suppose he would erect statues to himself as president if he could get away with it.</description>

		<description>Well maybe in order to impart more wisdom and experience, he will just take something old and claim as his own...like he did with Biden. I'm not really sure where they are going with this set design, I guess it might an ode to the White House or other capital buildings since they are so sure of winning? It just seems very out of place and doesn't fit his theme of New and Change, and its has become another issue and distraction from this Convention. I think that with a historical milestone it has been to have an African American nominated for the first time for a major party that more this convention would focus on Obama. Obama has been the smallest part of the convention so far, you don't even get a sense of his presence from the Convention. I don't see how any of this has helped Obama beyond Hillary Clinton's speech that has helped to stamp down tensions in the party for now. I believe the bump that Obama has gotten so far, which isn't much yet, is all due to her and her supporters coming home again. 

Though honeslty, Obama, please stay away from Greek Mythology. I don't really want to start attaching you to something I enjoy reading about.</description>

		<description>Oh
My
God.

Um, Mr. Grecian Formula, as you "say" you know so much about Greek, either active or passive, perhaps you can informed your uninformed readers that, you know, Greek Revival is the style of most significant federal buildings in ""America.  Think of the Ronald "Dodged WWII" Reagan building in DC, the nation's largest, most expensive (and, like Reagan) the least useful edifice in DC.  Sometimes, you know, a cigar is just a cigar?

I woder how many of Gigolo John McCain's wife's houses are Greek Revival -- any guesses?</description>

		<description>We know he isn't a muslim, since he chose not to be one. We know he isn't a Christian, since leaving Trinity Church hasn't chosen another church.

So he does as  the the French did after their Revolution, when they overthrew Kings and the Church. they looked  back to ancient Greece and unsuccessfully tried to create new French-Greek iconography.

Sure, Greek Temples are nice, in the West we use this architecture to denote power - as in government buildings and banks.

But what about Athene? Does Obama have any clue who she was and what she stood for. That she is known for being the goddess of strategy in war. (she left the actual warfare to Ares), something Obama knows nothing about. That she is most often seen in the background, helping and aiding Greek Heros in their missions. Such as Achilles in the Trojan war, Ulysses on his voyage home. On many Greek vases she is there beside Hercules as he performs his 12 tasks.
Can you imagine Obama in the background, helping another? I can't and I'm hoping his over the top performance tonight reminds people that we are electing a president, not a rock star</description>
