Cyclops and the Sirens to Open for Obama

Does anyone have a idea of what all this cost????????????????

Psssst… GWB accepted the 2004 nomination in front of Greek columns. This is the most ridiculous story – ever!

AOL has a new poll out asking if Obama temple theme in Denver is over the top. Please go vote at:

president, grammy, jeebus you are so picky.

more than McCain’s 8 homes.

It matters not what it costs. It will be his “I Am A Dream” address which coincides with the 45th anniversary of MLK. He apparently is going to explain how he would make a difference in our lives as president.

This guy is just too much. Piled high and deep.

The Greek Temple is insane.

Now to Obamabutts its normal because they see Obama as some sort of God, but to the rest of us who don’t see Obama as God, its a sign of lunacy and unbridled egomania.

The GOP will have a field day with it as well.

Your comment is fairly stupid because:

1. You’ve just demonstrated that Barky is following in the footsteps of Shrub and
2. Barky’s temple is a monument to him and his ego.

With any luck there will also be lions to which they will throw you obamabots.

Pssssst! And Obamacus wants to copy/emulate Bushocrites why???

I can’t wait for Nov. PLEASE McCain DESTROY the “New Democratic Party” because we all know HILLARY will be back to clam what’s rightfully hers in 2012. Polosi, Kennedy, Kerry and of course the big scum MSNBC will go down like the loser they are.

Yes… because neoclassical architecture is so un-American. That is why the founding fathers wisely chose the Tudor style for all the buildings in Washington, rather than honoring the birthplace of Democracy by echoing classical Greek styles.

_____________ did it too! Obama campaign rationale for everything.

I remember the old days, before the primary season, when such reasoning was mocked. By progressives and liberals. Now, not so much.

The Obama campaign is following the actions of predecessors. Exactly how does that represent change?

Wonderful ‘toon, Pat! The whole thing is surreal. A set made by Britney’s set people? Why?

I gotta tell ya, there’s something psychologically disturbing about the whole thing. He comes out from that slightly curved replica of a piece of the US Capitol or the White House, walks down the catwalk onto a round, raised island that looks like a circular stepped pyramid, and it will make him look isolated and vulnerable. It’ spooky. Not very feng shui, either.

Oh, one last comment. It’ll be dark when BO speaks and the stadium will be all sparkly with thousands of flashes from little cameras. Every flash you see will be an idiot who didn’t read the owner’s manual. You see, the flash has a range of about 10 to 15 feet so all those photos will be blank. The only way you can take a picture under those conditions is to turn the flash off and the camera will take a time exposure. Use the flash and you might get the top of the head in front of you.

It could be that Obama will come out dressed like Ceasar and camp it up and laugh at himself, thereby, making himself the butt of the joke and laughing with the Republicans.

Then, the columns will disappear into the floor, he will change into simple long sleeve (rolled up) shirt, casual pants, no tie and the stage turns into a simple podium with just a man.

That is the only thing that could keep this from being a complete train wreck. Mock himself, jokes on him, and he takes the wind out of the Repubs’ sails by being able to laugh at himself. Voila! Obama scores one for the common touch!

Riiingggggg!!!! Oops…sorry, that was just a dream. Obama cannot laugh at himself nor can he find anything at all humorous about himself which is why he will deliver his “I Am a Dream” MLK ripoff:

“Four score and 7 years ago, I had a dream that we have nothing to fear but fear itself!

We hold these truths to be self-evident that we should not ask what our country can do for us, but what can we do for our country? My nomination is one small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind!

We shall overcome! Amen…”

Or, it simply apes a large portion of the buildings in the Capitol which were designed and constructed in the Greek Revival style.

Or that, right?

Pssst…Blue Intrigue
I wish I could say you made my case, but your info is wrong.

(To save time listening to Bush 2, move the slider to the very end that shows the entire Madison Square Garden speech set.

Surely it couldn’t be that simple. Then there would be nothing to mock, would there?

LOL, true true.

Those aren’t Greek columns. They are meant to invoke the architecture in Washington (btw, he was the incumbent Presdent), meanwhile people chant USA, not O-ba-ma.

It’s all over the news and admitted to by the campaign. What is your question?
Obama provides a myriad of examples to mock, where have you been?

I suppose you stuck one of Obama’s fake Presidential seals across your face, so you missed all the hubris.

“Barack Hussein Obama..tear down these columns…”

The Democratic Party–the party of the working class, the party of altruism and compassion, the party of the common man–now the party of insanity, idolatry, hubris, envy, cultism, and the party of Barack Hussein Obama–’twas brillig and the slimy’ I can’t remember the rest but it’s from one of the Alice in Wonderlands, Jabberwocky, that’s the title and this reminds me of that poem–

MSNBC is already in trouble with Keith being rude to everyone that says anything that even hints at criticism of barfac. Olberman needs to be canned now. He even wants Brokaw banned from msnbc. Talk about a egomaniac! And we all know he’s psychotic.

I actually like the singer who performed the national anthem, Jennifer Hudson. I think she is fantastic. Everything else about the Parthenon coming to life this evening is an embarassment.

Ironically, or perhaps not, Hudson was an American Idol contestant who came in seventh place during her season. She later went on to win an Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls despite many thinking she would fall back into oblivion. The night she was booted off everyone’s favorite reality show, Elton John claimed that America was racist. (She was in the bottom three with two other African American singers, he was the mentor that week.)

Obama loves the symbolism, doesn’t he? Well, he can go fuck himself. He has lied his way through life, cheating and scheming, handed everything without an ounce effort. Hudson, on the other hand, really did have to work to make a name for herself, starting out at Burger King! Obama can never relate to that kind of story, but he sure as shit tries to paint himself the “raised by a single mother overcoming adversity” dude.

Well, I just had my first candidate for local politics ring my door bell this evening and low and behold it was a democrat running for congress. I said and I quote “In light of the drmocratic primary debockel I will be voting a straight Republican ticket this year, best of luck to you now.”

PUMA!

Poor people – redistribution of wealth – take from the rich and give to the middle class??????????? Take from the USA coffers and the rich to give to all of his Chicago thug friends.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned!!

Folks this is just a preview of things to come if he is elected.

OMG how can the DNC explain this one.

Seemed like the convention was going better than expected with the Clintons saving their asses. Now, Barky is on the scene with his insane need for grandiosity.

I better not hear one more word about McCain’s homes, after this show of wealth and grandeur.

I better not hear how bad the economy is – hardtimes – for who? Obviously, not the new Democratic Party. Where the fuck did all of this money come from??????????????

In Keeping with the Obama Campaign’s Message, The Diva will perform her Late 90′s Hit BELIEVE while the army of 400 paid blog trolls sling pennies nickles and dimes from the upper reaches of the stadium seating down on the throng of friends romans and countrymen seated nearest the Barackopolis.

It’s all about “Change you can Believe In!”

Tickets are also still available for the high rollers Ater Party where a special Burning of Hillary in Effigy at the stake will take place hosted by Keith “My Manboobs Have a Crush on Obama” Olberrman.

Chris Mathews was to co-host but technical difficulties will prevent him from being present for the ceremonial lighting of the pyre.

the antithesis of Ochilles

They are selling Obama T-Shirts like Hotcakes and Handgernades.

hey you know what that puts me in mind of?

nwo that you say that, remember the scene in the end of Empire Strikes Back where luke gets his hand taken off and he goes to the end of that thing

also isnt the Emperor set like that, I remember a long narrow path and then Darth Vader on the end in a circular platform..

just sayin, Plato meets the thing it inspired, Star Wars in a new Obummer production!!

ugh

GOD I Hope he claims Selma Got Him Born again tonight!!

OMG, Barack has copied GWB’s stage and steps and screen behind him to a T! I didn’t see any columns though. Did he borrow Shrub’s stage???

Forbes just announced it’s list of most powerful women.

Neither Michelle or Barky are on it.

But…Hillary is and is listed ahead of Oprah!

The set was designed by the same guy that designed Britney Spears last sets when she was on tour!!

I am not kidding. I couldn’t make this stuff up!

Just like his evil twin Agamemnon, Obamamemnon will end up (politically) dead.

McCain 2008

Hillary 2012

And they are only using it for a couple of hours. Doesn’t do SHIT for the national debt. Doesn’t help ONE AMERICA keep their home. Doesn’t lower GAS PRICES. Won’t stop one TERRORIST from blowing him or herself up.

GREAT priorities, there Zeus. ME, ME, ME. It’s all about ME when your name is 0bama — same for Hera.

They don’ know what the meme is. Really. They are so freaking frightened by the spector of him looking like a horse’s ass instead of a Democrat that they are crapping their pants.

After seeing that video with carville talking, I finally realized the columns are supposed to be the White House, not a greek temple. They have inserted windows in between the pillars. And I saw somewhere that they have the fuselage from an old Air Force One.

So, now he has his Obama presidential seal, white house, AND air force one.

Nothing like getting ahead of himself….

Since when does Barky represent Democracy? Seeing what happened with the Denver ABC reporter, Stanley Kurtz, and the Ayers ad reaction (contacting every channel in the nation and then the Justice department) seems Barky’s more interested inStalinism and fascism

Mac should build a mini oil platform rig to give his speech from

Agreed. He is a horse’s ass, though, and parading him around antiquity’s stage in a suit and calling him the nominee only makes him a horse’s ass with a following.

i wonder what the family of the toddler that got crushed to death by one of Obama’s friend’s slum housing think of his Temple of Doom?

america first!

Maybe they just should have done it in Washington DC then where so many of them already have places to stay and you don’t need to do a “mock up” of our monuments? Gee? Ya’ think?

When you go on the road and do a cheap mock up of America’s treasure, expect to be ridiculed. This is the presidency, for Christ’s sake, not Lord of the Rings!

Yes, a stage set is exactly like Shrub’s policies! I repeat – this is a ridiculous non-story. No matter what Obama chose for a stage set, you’d find something to ridicule.

Great cartoon, but to home for more then what you see is very very optimistic of you. Where is the proof that there is more? This reminds me of the saying that goes something like “the man who would be king or hail Caesar.”

With no experiences relevant to the job, all that Obama and his people can give us is a well choreographed fantasy. False fronts, bright lights, loud music, a well scripted performance and puff, it’s magic.

I was also very disappointed in all of the speeches given by Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and others. I know the DNC wants to show that they can create unity, but at what price. First Obama will not run because he does not even know where the men’s room is. All of a sudden he is qualified to be president. Then Joe Biden, Richardson, Bill Clinton, and Hillary talk about the importance of experience and that all Obama did was give a speech. Then with three months of campaigning Obama is all of a sudden the most qualified person to be president. Where did all of these qualifications come from?

In my opinion, the only honest people I saw was Michelle Obama who consistently frowned unless people said exactly what she wanted to hear, and Warner who would rather loose his place in line then say what he did not believe in.

Rich

I hate to urinate in your Wheaties but the buildings in Washington were built for “we the people”. Obarky’s egocentric stage is built for him.

Try again.

Wow-thanks for the music leads. Pretty good stuff.

Yes, I’m sure you’re right. Nothing says ‘fascist’ like some plywood Greek columns.

Stay classy, NoQuarter!

zOMG! And he had a convention, too! And debates! You are soooo right! It’s exactly like Bush – and Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower…

The post is about ridiculous behavior, Blue. How much of GWB is he going to emulate? He had his ridiculous “seal” which his campaign stopped using because of ridicule, but they can’t take this one back. These are phony columns, phony everything and it will be used in Republican ads, you can count on it and it will be tacky and vulgar. I’m pretty sure I missed GWB speech in 2004 because I could no longer stand the sight of him and i will miss this speech because it is just as meaningless. This reminds me of pictures I have seen of “motels” with red wallpaper, mirrors on the ceiling and vibrating beds. But, it has provided some comic relief from the disaster of the Democratic Party convention. All that’s missing is passing out some sandals and laurel leaf crowns for all the cult followers.I wonder if they have sent out a memo for the dress code: white togas, no green ones allowed. The Republicans had their green “flip flops” too you know. Another example of the stupidity of politicians.

With any luck there will also be lions to which they will throw you obamabots.

ROFLMFAO

Oh nice!

The Pancake Stack of O’s Dias has lights around the base just like the ships in CLose Encounters….maybe after his speech it will lift off and take him back to the mothership.

Pat, great cartoon. When the news first came out about this stage, I thought it was a sick attempt at humor. Now, its apparent its just sick. There are so many versions of your toon, its limitless. I like the chariot ride with the plumed helmet and thunderbolt tattoos. Or, the River Styx running through the stage. Or Nobama as Narcissus, gazing longlingly into a pool of water. His personality disorder is in full bloom.

I can’t bring myself to watch tonight cause the litterbox needs cleaning. If any great costume malfunctions occur, I’ll count on NQ to bring it to us.

TOGA! TOGA!

Does he have any spare rubber bustiers for MO?

And GWB’s stage set with the Greek columns was built for him. By the GOP. The same GOP that is mocking Obama for using a similar design. They are hypocrites! Kind of like Hillary “Democrats” who will vote for McCain.

I cannot bear to say the name

We really need to know the cost of all this sheer decadence so that whenever someone brings up the houses, we can counter with Obama’s wasted millions. At least someone can live in McCain’s houses but that stage is here today and gone later tonight. What an effin’ waste.

…”calling him the nominee”. LAst I checked, that’s what he was, being as the PUMA kitties were completely ineffective. Wow, I guess denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

Are we,the taxpayers, actually paying for this abomination?

Yeah, cuz wishing death on people you disagree with is hilARious!

Am so sick and tired of hearing this is history in the making, geez we already know he got the nomination but every news anchor has to milk this thing to the max.

Anchor after anchor on FOX has to say its history in the making I swear they way they are acting guess America surprised itself that a black man is running for President.

I would of really liked one of news media people to ask if this was all necessary, that is sure a lot of dollars being tossed out, I guess simple is not a word for the democrats, and since its the first black man I guess the sky is the limit now.

I agree that the Republican ads will be tacky and vulgar.

The Cyclops looks strikingly familiar, say Howard Dean, with his eye only on “The One” candidate from the get-go (so much for fair, elected party officials!) And the two lovely sirens are definitely Nancy Pelosi with her lovely botoxed face and the signature song of her fabulous PelosiPAC money to woo the delegates to vote against the will of the people of their states. And then we have Donna Brazile, the voice of the cable TV channels, shrieking out her siren song of “STOP THE HATE” accompanied by the lovely voice of her almighty cell phone that spreads healing to the errant masses of non-believers. If some one had told me this would be happening in the USA two years ago, I would have sworn they were on an acid trip from the ’60s. As Larry says, “You can’t make this shit up; it is just too unbelievable!”

It is insane but scary—are we in the final stages of bread and circuses? As bizarre as this seems to me and most of you, is this what we have come to in this country? Is everything a rock star moment? Is 15 minutes of celebrity or proximity thereto the road we have taken? This country was stupid enough to elect the first version of this phenom politico not once, but twice. What makes any of you think the third time will not happen Nov. 4.? I think you could make a case that there are millions out there with their little votes in hand who voted for GWinexperienceBush twice and figure the theatrics were right on, it was just the wrong flavor, wrong suit and BO has all those great features of the shrub but isn’t wearing that Republican suit and has a whole different kool-aid.

So you agree that Oblahblah is following in the footsteps of Bush. I’ve thought that all along. Another ignorant arrogant politician with delusions of grandeur. The only difference is the skin tone.

You made my point, dufus.

Love that name, Obamamemnon!

the obama campaign threw clinton supporters under the bus and now they want us to ‘get over it’, that’s hypocritical.

Didn’t I read back in June that the DNC’s budget for the convention was $70 million? Or was that the amount they needed to raise by mid-July to be on track for financing the convention?

According to a NY Times article from last month, the DNC was $6 million over budget in their plans to renovate the Pepsi Center. They spent $100k per month renting offices in downtown Denver that were twice as large as they needed and filled them with rental furniture costing $50k per month. In June when the Obama campaign took over the convention planning, “his aides are increasingly frustrated, as the event nears, at organizers who they believe spent too freely, planned too slowly and underestimated actual costs. The Obama campaign has dispatched 10 people to Denver to help “get a handle on the budget and make hard decisions” about what has to be done and how to move forward, said Bill Burton, a campaign spokesman.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/us/politics/06convention.html

It doesn’t sound like the ten Obama people sent to Denver to “make hard decisions” got around doing that. Which is understandable, they only had two months to turn Invesco Field into Ancient Greece.

Shall we have a contest to guess how much the DNC spent? I’ll go with $104, 854,397.43.

Eastimated cost: 6 million..for one night

Yeah, I’m sure the millions of dollars pumped into Denver’s economy didn’t do anything for anybody but Obama.

It’s FAKE. What part of that stupidity don’t you understand? This is a football field and they put fake Greek columns there. Well, never-mind. Millions of others will laugh at him and his pretentiousness and there will be cartoons and the Republicans will think of some appropriate captions.

Can’t wait until the American flag is removed from Air Force One and the possum Presidential seal and/or the almightly Obama logo is painted on.

Um..not exactly. All of the presidents that you mentioned, with the exception of Kennedy, gave their speeches right at the sites of their conventions. By spending what has to be a lot of money on a stadium and set that are not needed (when the DNC is broke) seems to me to be poor judgment.

Here’s part of what the Daily Mail (UK) had to say:

Party officials fearing what Americans might think of ‘Obamapolis’ say privately that it was dreamed up before his recent ‘rock star’ visit to Berlin, where he drew a crowd of 200,000 – and Republican criticism for being out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Democrats are still level-pegging with the Republicans in the polls, getting no appreciable ‘bounce’ from their convention despite enormous coverage. All this despite the deep unpopularity of the Bush administration, McCain’s age – he turns 72 today – and before the Republican convention next week.

The DM is also reporting that “a full scale replica of Air Force One fuselage” arrived at Invesco Field. Don’t you think that this is over the top? The DM does (check out the title of the article).

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1050017/Obama-God-Democrats-build-temple-Barack.html

Yup. Because the simlarities in stage sets mean that Obama will start more wars, further wreck the economy, destroy the middle class – oh wait. That’s McCain! Never mind.

Can you say Saudi oil money and PLO!

“Well, the Democrats are now preparing for their convention in Denver, and they have hired the first ever director of greening. They say that this year that everything about their convention will be green, including nominating a candidate who’s only been a senator for a couple of years.” –Jay Leno

Why does he want Brokaw banned? To take over Meet the Press?

Do you remember when they were saying they might cancel the convention, because they didn’t have enough money to pay for it? Do they tell the truth about ANYTHING, EVER????

It was a tough campaign. Now for the good of the country, it’s time to come together. I would have loved for Hillary to be the nominee but it didn’t happen. I am not going to tell you to “get over it”. It’s up to you whether or not you really believe what she said the other night.

And now you claim to be omniscient. How Obama-like of you.

Next.

I love fantasy land! I wish I were a siren!

Those of us who will not support Oblahblah are over it in a big way.

BTW: You can’t put Oblahblah and “good of the country” in the same sentence without creating an oxymoron.

Well, we know the GOP probably won’t be spending much this year. I mean, how much does it cost to rent a phone booth for all of the VIPs that are showing up?

Pass the hemlock.

Doesn’t it embarrass you to supports this guy? I mean, seriously!

So you agree that Oblahblah’s coronation a waste of millions.

ROFL

Are you really promoting the link between BO & Bush. I mean, we’ve already figured that out: no experience, arrogance, dangerous, puppets to other powermongers, faith-based initiatives and spying on Americans…

Thanks for helping out!

No.

Isn’t it incredible the length to which Obots will go to rationalize and justify every idiotic and unethical thing he does?! I mean the list is endless, and there is always a “but…but…but…”

Donated by big corporations. Including Google, AT&T,Verizon and Microsoft.

Did I say that? Nope. Must be the voices in your head.

You’re right. He’s the nominee and a horse’s ass being paraded around antiquity’s stage. Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess to you there is not big difference in accepting a nomination in a place where you spent thousand of dollars to prepare, to go next door and do it all over again spending twice as much as you originally spent just to stoke your ego.

All the media coverage of the DNC convention is not enough, it just had to have a bigger audience 26,000 was too small of an attendance 80,000 sounds and looks better.

Man if you Obama supporters don’t think that was a bit much and over the top I would hate to see what Obama would do if he got his hands on the public purse

Nancy Pelosi: Barack NObama is a gift from heaven.

Pelosi you are a fucking loser along with Harry Reid and the rest of Democratic cronies in Congress. The do nothing Congress.

I am a true blue Democratic and will be waiting patiently for Hillary or Chelsea Clinton in 2012.

Haha! We’ll never be that lucky!!!

But Lucille, my friend, you would look fine from the top up (wings and all) but those legs and feet–LOL!

So what other footsteps were you talking about?

omg. Hysterical. Wonder what they will do to provide Jeremiah with fodder for next week?

What I posted originally. You want to replace an arrogant ignoramus with another arrogant ignoramus. Right and left don’t matter when the person running the place is invincibly ignorant.

I’m sensing this is a Dukakis tank moment!

The soap opera continues, and now let’s watch…As Obama tanks…

In this episode, empirer Obama has fought the evil clinton dynasty and thinks he has won, but alas, unbeknownst to Obama are waiting, watching PUMAs. Bill Clinton promised that those 18,000,000 were on board, but are they??? Tune in tomorrow for another episode of

AS OBAMA TANKS!

NEWS FLASH:
NEWS FLASH:

Rev. Wright speaking tonight 8:00 PM
William Ayers speaking tonight 8:30 PM
Rev. “shady” Sharpton speaking 9:00 PM

You didn’t deny it. So which face are you going to talk out of now? Oh, my mistake, it’s not your face that’s doing the talking. mea culpa.

Yes you’re right. There is absolutely no reason for the Democratic nominee to apply any stagecraft at all when giving an acceptance speech. I’m sure that this has never been done before. It assuredly indicates something deeply negative about the candidate’s character.

Stay classy, NoQuarter!

Because it ishistory being made. Stop hating and enjoy the moment. Because if Hillary won, they’d be doing it as well. Probably even bigger.

Is O’boy going to bring back the Gladiator games too? Is it true he has a thing for his sister?

I know, I know, that was Rome, not Greece. But I bet Mr History Wiz O’boy doesn’t know that.

Yes I’m sure you’re right. This use of Greek columns indicates that the candidate is just like the current President in every way.

Stay classy, NoQuarter!

My Afscme union called today with an election poll.
How certain was it that I would vote: Definitely
Would I vote McCain or Obama: I said “As a life-long Democrat who supported Hillary to the hilt, I will be voting for John McCain.” Felt some of that catharsis we were supposed to feel from the convention.

Great art once again, Pat.

Of Obama, By Obama, For Obama… No breaks, just a tweak…

They would have spent the same amount if not more if Hillary would have won. Both RNC and DNC will have spent nearly a billion dollars on their respective campaigns.

Nothing says CLASSY more than some plywood Greek columns..

Now that was funny.

Another great cartoon, Pat. Renting Invesco field is an embarrassing pompous display of arrogant ambition and ego. I guess the White House grounds weren’t available for rent or were too small for his pre-coronation ceremony. As for the expense, never fear, the Obamabots are busy already extracting money from everyone within reach by email or phone whether they can afford it or not. And as for raising money to help pay off Hillary’s campaign debt. Only a trickle. A penny fund raising effort for the person who so has so selflessly thrown her support for his majesty in order to get a Democrat in the White House. Keep the cartoons and commentary coming in the weeks ahead, Pat. They help keep us focused on reality as the anointed one continues his campaign to bamboozle those who haven’t yet fallen victim to his chicanery and boundless ambition.

This is so over the top that I cannot think of an adjective!
Hilarious, obscene, pathetic, vulgar, tacky, childish?
One thing I am very sure of…this kind of Sh– has no place in the election of a President…when people are hungry, homeless, and children don’t have clothes and supplies for school!
Some way, some how, the American people need to STOP this!!!

Yeah, right! Spoken by an Ozombie HRC hater! Obama and the DNC were out to destroy the Clintons period! And didn’t Donna Brazille say that “we have to destroy the Dem Party” in order to remake it? Why else has she been in close contact with Karl Rove these past couple of years? It is clear to me that their common enemy is and has always been the Clintons. We’ll you now have the Party without a good chunk of Clinton/FDR Dems, so just deal with the consequences of what you and your Chosen One have wrought.

So much for unity!

I wouldn’t bet on that. In spite of the daily crap spewed over and over by the MSM Senator Clinton has a great deal of class and humility…she would have never wanted such a thing…

Nope…but we are footing the bill!

Only if you donated to the DNC or Obama. It’s really rather sad that college kids donated money that could have been used for college loans for this joke. Oh well I guess after paying for the trip to the ME and Europe, not to mention the trip to Hawaii, they should be used to it. How many do you think are sitting in their dorms eating Kraft Mac and Cheese watching this fiasco? Enjoy your party Obama.

Really? Get serious. This is your guy and if you can’t see this is over the top then you’ve had a lobotomy. This is “not” American Idol. Hello??? Try President of the United States, which carries a certain gravitas and respect.

But please, keep on kidding yourself that a Greek Temple background has anything to do with electing a POTUS or that smoke and mirrors will win the day.

It’s laughable. It’s also crass.

Hahahahaha! They forgot the lions. Too bad.

Don’t blame BLUE. He or she is most likely a college student. Having donated $2300 to the Obama campaign, which could have been better served to pay some college loans, he or she now finds him/herself sitting on the floor eating a wonderful box of Kraft Mac and Cheese watching her money being used for such a noble cause. Really it isn’t any worse than the jaunt through the ME and Europe is it? How about the trip to Hawaii? A fool and his/her money is soon parted. Congrats Blue. Enjoy your party Obama. You do realize people WORKED for that money right? Some little girl had to do without the doll she wanted or some little boy didn’t get the baseball glove he wanted. Don’t worry it’s all good YOU deserve it more. Enjoy the party. Have a drink on Blue. Oh nevermind Blue and people like him/her payed for all the drinks.

make that paid

I’m wa-a-a-ay over it. That’s why I’m an Independent now with my eye on McCain.

You’re even more ignorant than your fellow traveler, bluebot. Perhaps if you actually read the preceding posts you might have left well enough alone. But then again, your language skills are only rudimentary and your reasoning even worse.

lol, I made it 50-50 for will I listen to his speech.lol

No,read in between her lines

Vote mccain

I saw a number, 4mil and change, haven’t seen a second source on it.

Not cheap.

But don’t you know that “all the world is a stage”?

That’s the one he built. I doubt it was union work either.

“you’d find something to ridicule”
In all fairness this is true with one exception. No need to to go a’ looking. He is sitting there like the pile of unmitigated stink of lies he is.

Pat Racimora, I was waiting for “Zeus” to release the Kraken thats hiding behind the Parthenon.

Bravo!.

its not their money they are spending, its the american peoples money

So the truth is “tacky and vulgar”

You do understand that BO is “tacky and vulgar”?

Or does the vibrating phone or last nights action with “Honest Joe’s wife’s or all the towering mound of “pretending” not get your attention?

The problem with Obama’s Greek temple inauguration is:

1. Plays directly into and reinforce’s McCain’s strategy that Obama is a rock star and out of touch with Americans.

2. It sends the wrong signal to Americans. A convention is a time for the candidate to tell Americans exactly his/her vision for America and how the lives of Americans will be better if the candidate is elected. Instead of appearing in the luxury of a Greek temple, Obama should be telling Americans about his plan for keeping Americans in their homes in the wake of foreclosures and his symbolism should be related to that plan.

3. The temple is about Obama. A smart leader would his/her convention about the American people and their dreams and aspirations.

Great cartoon! Searching for “greek temple” on Google Images, copying someone else’s picture without citation, posterizing the image, and drawing some pretty weak art on top of it. Then, slap your name on top of it all. Finally, go back and edit the caption in Paint or something because you couldn’t remember how to spell “Cyclops” (hint: no E at the end).

Stay classy, No Quarter.

Yes, I’m sure you’re right. Oh, if I could only read and reason, perhaps then I might understand the grave threat posed by these fake greek columns!

Stay classy, NoQuarter!

Who said I am going to support this guy????
Yes, seriously!!!
I supported Wes Clark and Hillary Clinton….the best set of Democrats. No Clark, No Hillary, NO OBAMA!!!

Pat: Thanks for the great ‘toon….they are all terrific!

Gee Kirsten, Is this the best you can toss? You got it half wrong in terms of the process–and if you don’t like the “weak art” that’s OK. Art (and especially cartooning art) just IS–people judge it their own way.

As for me, I love doing this. It’s a way to make one’s statement without having to use many words. If you can do better, give it a try.

But what REALLY interests me is why you were stalking this cartoon. It was up two hours before I discovered the spelling error (so sue me). What’s up with that????
