Tear Down That Wall!

Yeah, I get the allusions to Greek architecture as a link to the birthplace of Democracy. I get the reference to the Greek revival architecture used in our nation's capitol. But even as a diehard Obama supporter, I beg of them to please rip those fucking things out and put up a line of flags. They are setting the stage for another celebrity/Messiah commercial, but one that could really connect because Obama approved the theatrics himself. The crowd in Berlin? Now, that was just cool and McCain was simply jealous. But erecting the stage for an Art in the Park production of Julius Caesar? Not cool. Not at all.

Mr. Obama, tear down that wall!
