There is a time and a place for everything.
Okay, how is this suppose to demonstrate to white working class voters that you sympathize with their needs in critical battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and other parts of the heartland to win in November 2008?
Senator Obama can do whatever he wants for his acceptance speech before the Democratic National Convention. However, we are not in Greece. America does not immortalize humans into gods. America, through its citizens, elect people to be President of the United States of America.
In my humble opinion, this is a bad move for Senator Obama and he is welcoming the attacks from Senator McCain, the Republicans, Independents, and other conservative outlets as he is being perceived as different than the average American, an elitist, a pop star, and not like the rest of Americans who want to elect a person who share in their same values attributed to the American Dream. Here are links to the attacks that are occurring:
If Michelle Obama did an exceptional job on Monday night painting her and her husband as ordinary Americans, this staged imagery at Invesco Field is not helping to keep the image Michelle Obama made on Monday night a permanent reality.
Actions speak louder than words.
You do not want to be perceived as a god or a king in this election. The American Revolution occurred because the colonists were fed up with the tyranny of King George I. I hope Senator Obama does not make the same mistake as King George I did. With the likes of this imagery at Invesco Field, I am not so sure.

Um... you have issues. No one is thinking about that but you. It's a space issue and a way for inclusion v. exclusion in a small convention center. Get a life.
