Pelosi as Athena, goddess of wisdom?

Now that would be a moment laden with irony.

The Greek God Zeus, according to Greek mythology, wanted to locate the exact Center of the world. To do this, he released two eagles from opposite ends of the earth. The eagles met at Delphi where a temple was erected.

Would not surprise me to see two eagles on stage tonight. After all, Obama is the center of the world and has been hailed as the Messiah, let him now be portaid as God Obama. Or does he want to be the Oracle? According to legend the oracle’s answers were often vague or ambiguous, leaving interpretation to the listener.
Obama is very good at this already.

It also bows the wrong way. Knowing the Dems affinity toward ancient Greek society

Well, ancient Greek sexual practices and Spartan infanticide…”

It is said they are deceivers…that they tie people’s shoe laces together in the night…I know nothing…

OMG!!! Some woman just called Rush and said that Obama’s theme song should be “What if God was one of us”!!!! Could you all see him walking out of his temple onto the stage to that song??? Could you put it past him and his massive ego??? Hmmmmmm – Lorica

Yep that is Thulsa Doom!!! And Yep, that is Barack “change” Obama!!!! One of my favorite lines in Conan I was this guy saying “Yeah I’ve seen those guys around….They’re just another snake cult”. Like snake cults were so common in human history. So now we can all start saying of Obama “Yeah he’s just another Chicago politician”!!! And it would hold true. Amazing the lack of Obama defenders around here these days. Don’t you think?? – Lorica

I think it is a Greek Temple. If it were the White House, then it has a few to many columns. It also bows the wrong way. Knowing the Dems affinity toward ancient Greek society, I would guess it’s a Greek structure. – Lorica

I don’t know Lorica. Doom turned into a snake, Obama is turning into a typical Chicago politician, you have to admit there’s a striking similarity…

Amy, it doesn’t make sense for Obama to have such an inflated ego either, but he does. Considering his grandoise self-image, it wouldn’t shock me if this were planned to look like a temple.

The White House doesn’t have Corinthian columns curved in that fashion. This is clearly meant to evoke a Greek temple or amphitheater. Perhaps he’s claiming the wisdom of great Athenian leaders, such as Solon or Pericles — or maybe even the mantle of the oracle of Delphi.

Whatever, the ego-trip this symbolizes is amazing.
