Barack’s Grecian stage evokes White House

BARACK OBAMA’S big speech tonight 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 him 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.
