Conservatives are criticizing the stage construction on Iverson Field set up for Barack Obama's presidential nomination appointment. Commentator Rush Limbaugh is calling it "Greek a temple" in reference to what conservatives call Obama's Godlike ascension within the party's ranks.
To me, it calls to mind the speech delivered by conservative President Ronald Reagan before the Berlin wall in which he famously urged Russia's communist leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall." True: Reagan didn't build the Berlin wall but he or his handlers chose the photo-op location.
Image is everything.

I can hear Alicia Keys singing, "No one, no one, no one, can get in the way of what I'm feeling!"
We have worked hard.
Maybe she doesn't have milk for her sons cereal in the morning but we've had one hell of a party because "we've worked hard".
Do you know how many people we could have given health insurance to for a year with the 17 million dollars in matching federal funds alone?

The folks that are facing the loss of their homes because their jobs were oursourced and they no longer have an income....bet you they could have used a dollar or two............
That person facing foreclosure and loss of their job voluteered their time to the effort.
I in the Social Services field and I see these types of things daily....daily and we offer limited help due to budget cuts and program restrictions.....so that our government can afford to pay for things like this........
have a good party.
America is turning the page on No we wont people, who are still whining about what could have been.
I'm talking about the line workers retired from Delco and will lose their health insurance benefits come January 2009.
I'm talking about Erie County in Western New York that is currently being operated by The State of New YOrk because the county is pretty much bankrupt as a result of their tax base being eroded to the point where the county no longer has the ability to raise enough income to pay their expenses.........the majority of New York State outside of New York City is actually Republican and Senator McCain is very popular North of New York City......
