Plouffe Responds to Criticism of Temple Obama: Criticism is Very Small in an Election That's Very Big

August 28, 2008 6:00 PM

In an interview with ABC News, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe responded to criticism of the Greek columns on the stage where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, will give his speech this evening.

"I think President Bush's backdrop at his convention had column right behind him," Plouffe noted. "We are going to have American flags behind Barack Obama, eighty-thousand people celebrating their democracy waving American flags tonight. So it is going to be a wonderful moment in our democracy. And we think the criticism is very small in an election that is very big and people understand has big stakes associated with it."
