A large American flag hangs in the lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver on Friday, Aug. 1, 2008. Theodore Roosevelt went to the Brown in 1905, since then every U.S. president has visited the hotel. But the festivities at the historic landmark aren't without a touch of modern politics: The hotel will temporarily rename its presidential suite after Democrat candidate Barack Obama for the August Democratic Convention in Denver.
