Obama Says He Is “Symbol of Hope for All Mankind”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire | 10 Oct 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/10/2008 9:57:05 AM PDT by John Semmens

Presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) confided to a close group of Democratic supporters that it has been revealed to him that he is a “symbol of hope for all mankind.”

“The world has been stumbling in the darkness,” Obama proclaimed. “I am the doorway to a brighter future. I am the light of the world for these troubled times.”

In support of his claim, the Illinois senator told of how “everywhere I go, the children sing my virtues. They have a wisdom untainted by a corrupt society. It is a model for the rest of humanity.”

Obama said he plans to take advantage of the wisdom of children by establishing a “League of American Youth” through the public school system. “We will create a corps of young people committed to fight for a better world,” Obama vowed. “All students will be required to serve the community before they serve themselves. In so doing, we will divert the energy that would have gone into selfish greed into working for the collective well-being of the planet.”

I read this and thought, “ok, this is satire”, then I think, “he COULD say this. He really could.” THAT’S the scary part.

That's the hallmark of any satire column by John...

WOW! Here is a guy believing his own press clippings.

Tyrants of history are all like this. There are no bounds to such ego.

He is telling us right here ... He is KING. And we had better get used to it.

Ok, I’ll admit it, I didn’t notice that this was satire. That just goes to show how badly we need to get McCain elected. I could see him really saying this (and the dumb ****s in the Liberal Democrap party buying it!)

Surely such a savior-like man such as Obama would have been mercilessly hounded by T800-series Terminators all his life.

Right?
