Who's next? Zoroaster?
B. Hussein Obama's supporters have at times presented him as Jesus, Moses, and Jesus, Jr. I guess it was inevitable that someone - in this case Obama himself - would make him out to be a latter-day Zeus:
"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
"The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.
"Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president."
