Didn't know about the anniversary. I think you got it exactly right: too much emphasis on the setting will detract from the speech.

I had a dream Monday morning. Well, really I just woke up frightened. This refrain "Obama, Obama, Obama" was running through my brain. I think I got it from a McCain ad , either "The One" or "Celebrity." It's not loud, very quiet, yet haunting. And I don't even have a tattoo on my arm. Just tell me the truth, I can handle it.

There isn't a pound of dry ice left in Colorado. It's all in the barracks of INVESCO Field. This will be a replay of the Obama "I'm a patriot speech" In Philadelphia; a replay of his "I'm a champion of the world speech" in Berlin. This is about him - The One. The use of the faux Lincoln Memorial is specifically intended to invoke sentiment and emotion. The plan and desire is to solicit feelings of "hope, opportunity and change". The Memorial's purpose is to get the media to overplay this event to the masses. A good start has been made having hyped the Obama speech to us since last Sunday. Watch for Obama to use and mimic the Reverend Martin Luther King, "I have a dream" line. Obama will have a line too. The MSM will repeat it to us over and over and over. To paraphrase a former democrat senator from Texas, "We all know Dr. King and you, Senator Obama,"are no Dr. King". The bottom line is this: Tonight's event will be the WWF, the HBO Heavyweight Championship and the Stones concert all wrapped in the music, the color and the "dry ice". The good news is that you don't have to pay to see it. But rest assured, you will pay if the majority of Americans buy it.
