Bombast for/against Obama

In a move that might offend more than it inspires, presidential candidate Obama prepares a grand entrance in a set that may or may not bring to mind both a Greek temple and the White House. The Althouse blog wonders if the candidate will end up looking not quite how he intends. Or does he not realize that smaller will be better at this point in the campaign?  When people--wrongly--are accusing you of a big head, you don't Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that head far above the people on the streets.

On the other hand, I would not be at all surprised if the descriptions of Obama's coming presentation are being spun by the very same forces working to paint him as an elitist. At the end of this process, there will be a lot of really dirty hands in need of a good dehandification (hand removal).
