My interest was piqued, but the dark time lived on until my faith in others was renewed on Jan. 4 in the Iowa state primary. Obama had beat out squeaky clean southern boy John Edwards and former first lady and next in the line of political succession Hillary Clinton. I was in shock. And then I came to Jesus/Obama.
I donated to the campaign. I followed every primary with bated breath, and muttered my prayers to the political gods while proselytizing the miracle of my new prophet. I got a car magnet, I bought a t-shirt; a pin and bumper sticker are on their way to my campus mailbox. Then the media and right wing questioning began: what is he? A rock star, or the next president? Bono or Britney? The naysayers used his popularity among young people against him. Who had ever heard of political posters in college dorm rooms? Bumper stickers on the back of your high school neighbor's Jetta? Guess what those "Jesus is my homeboy" t-shirts were replaced with at Urban Outfitters? A smiling Obama under his own cutesy sayings like "Obama for yo Mama."
I must admit, I questioned this myself. After all, would I have ever bought a t-shirt with Al Gore's face on it? Was this all he was, the newest pop culture fad? I questioned my newfound faith - was it all only a phase, like the time I thought I was Baptist in junior high? But my inner dogmatic struggle only helped cement my beliefs as I followed politics more closely than ever before. Obama's mere presence, knowledge and enthusiasm in the political realm inspired my own desire to understand what exactly had gone wrong, what exactly he could do to remedy the mess we'd made.
Then I began to realize I wasn't the only one trying to buy a WWOD bracelet and spending my weekends scouring CNN.com. The rock star-type love for Obama wasn't just because he was pretty and in the media. Others too, had seen him as a shining light, heard that mythical voice boom out over the mountaintops; people were wearing the t-shirt because they would rather wear something representing a politician than a pop star. People everywhere, young and old, were caring again. So what's the problem here?
I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.
The comments on the article are dubious as to whether this is satire. Sad that there is a question about that, isn't it?
Only DM song I ever liked.

Hit the newspapers. Hit the forums. EXPOSE HUSSEIN
Ping
It’s Smith College, so maybe it’s Satires Satire.
In either case, the whole town of Northampton will be praising their vote.
Sad too is that I have read many threads on many MSM sites by “posters” who write stuff like that. When articles are posted here (and I lurk at the opposition sites) I look at the comments and I am left speechless by some of them.
In the midst of the war he offered us peace,
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast,
His intentions were six sixty six.
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand,
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land,
And the world was his harlot and lay in the sand,
While the band played six sixty six.
We served at his table and slept on the floor,
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door.
Well, I'm ready to die, I can't take any more,
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks.
He told us he loved us, that was a lie,
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes.
Well my number is up, and I'm ready to die,
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six.
After reading the first page from the article, sadly I don’t think it’s satire. I hope I’m wrong.
I think it’s satire. At Smith College (should the ‘o’ in the student newspaper name be replaced with ‘ap’? just asking!) tweaking the Obamaites for similarities to the disfavored protestant evangelicals might be the only way to effectively attack Obama and get it published.
Doubtful ... looks like a cult follower to me.
Jim Jones ... 0bama lama ding dong ... any difference?
Any way there was the young man saying he doesn't agree with Obama but would support him, he didn't know why but he could not get off the rock.. Weird..
My local paper’s forum has about three Obama worshipers who post all the time (pretty much dominate the whole forum) who sound just like this. I finally gave up when they started the “Obama knows better than you what is best for your life”...
When people refuse to believe in God, they will believe in anything.
“I followed every primary with bated breath,...”
Was she drinking bat coffee?

{There’s nothing wrong with what the author said — I just happened to read the second article very recently.}
Back it up to the first page. Here’s some of it:
“Obama is my homeboy. And I’m not saying that because he’s black - I’m saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters t-shirts from a couple years ago that said, “Jesus is my homeboy.” Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus.
“While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I’m afraid it’s true anyway.”
Yep, not satire. I’m googling around and she seems to be pretty much in deep smit with Obamama
