Chicago residents living in the vicinity of Grant Park will be hearing hammers, drills and saws today as workmen begin construction of the massive stage where Senator Barack Hussein Obama counts on lording it over his masses, as President Elect on Nov. 4, 2008.
With no blueprints in hand, it is difficult to know whether this stage will resemble the pretentious Greek columned one that starred at Invesco Field during the DNC.
While a scan of the past could show that Obama is not the first presidential hopeful to erect a victory stage in such gigantic dimensions, for sure he’s the first presidential hopeful able to use a willing mainstream media to hype the inevitably of his win.
