Dem. convention (2)

Some people are making fun of the alleged replica of a Greek temple that will be the backdrop of Obama's speech tonight, but as someone points out at The Weekly Standard's blog, it's more likely that the columns are intended to evoke the Lincoln Memorial, this being the anniversary of MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

p.s. As Treehouse points out in the comments, the colonnade also references Soldier Field in Chicago.
