Perspective

The photo is supposedly of the platform that Senator Obama will use tomorrow to deliver his acceptance speech. IMHO it invites parody. Political conventions,like the Olympics, may have outlived their usefulness. But it seems odd and off putting to offer up this kind of regal platform - that copies the inaugural platform before the guy has actually been elected. I am less inclined to vote for a candidate who does not get that. But let's see how the GOP does their outdated show.
