Obama Having Second Thoughts About Greek Temple

Politico.com’s Mike Allen tells FOX News that the Obama camp has reservations about the presumptuousness of Obama's Greek temple at Invesco Field:

“It’s hard because of those very clever ads by John McCain which turned the likability factor, which normally elects a president, back on Senator Obama,” Allen said. “He wants to be someone who can lead the country and can relate to people.”
You can watch Allen discuss “The Barackopolis” in the following video:


The Obama campaign denies it has any doubts about the Temple of Obama:

“As a visual it’ll be tremendous,” said Democratic strategist Bob Beckel. “But the problem is that that visual has been a little bit of a negative for him over the last few months.”

[. . .]

Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer said “it is not true” that the campaign had any doubts about the Invesco event.

And Beckel said he’s sure the Obama campaign thought through all the visuals.

“If it did (have any doubts), those Greek columns would’ve been down,” he said, adding he’s not going to bet against Obama in a speech.

As I said before, after all the ads and media coverage depicting Obama as presumptuous, you would think the Obama camp would tone it down.
