Hot Air is reporting on Barack Obama’s plan to deliver his acceptance speech in front of a fake Greek temple.

Ed Morrissey writes, “if American voters wondered about the cult of personality that Obama has inspired, this settles the question and explicitly makes Obama the cult leader.”

Just who is Barack Obama? Maitreya? The Solar Logos? Is it possible that he is the fulfillment of New Age hopes and dreams?

Barack Obama is getting really scary and this just weirds me out.

AP reports that Russia is vowing a “military” response to the missile shield in Europe.

Reuters is reporting that the US is scrapping a planned port call in Poti to deliver humanitarian aid. Tensions between the United States and Russia may be getting out-of-control. Scrapping the port call may be an effort by the US to defuse tension.

Navy Times is still reporting that the Navy will deliver aid at Poti.

Is Barack Obama destined to be the next Herbert Hoover? At Barron’s, Jim McTague writes:

“The problem would only be compounded by Obama’s stand on capital-gains and dividends taxes — he’d hike them both. He also would institute a more onerous estate tax than McCain would.

“It’s almost as if Obama wants to repeat the mistakes of Herbert Hoover. During the Great Depression, Hoover raised the top marginal rate to 63% from 25% and hiked corporate taxes, too, says Michael Aronstein, chief investment strategist at Oscar Gruss & Son in New York. The moves siphoned needed investment capital out of the markets and into the hands of bureaucrats, delaying the turnaround.”
