Look similiar?
The first is the set that Mr. Obama gave his Democratic Nominee acceptance speech at in Denver. The second is the Altar of Zeus that was originally constructed in Pergamos and moved to a museum in Berlin in the late 19th century. One certainly can't fault Mr. Obama for his sense of style.
However, it would probably be a good idea if someone educated Mr. Obama about the history of this Altar as a certain famous 20th century German leader also gave speeches on a platform modeled after this Altar (hint: the capital of North Dakota is not named after him).
Of course, there is also the casual mention of this Altar in Rev. 2:12-13. So, I would suggest to Mr. Obama that he give his speeches from slightly less historically colorful platforms. He has enough problems without inviting unflattering comparisons to certain historical figures.
