With his string of overwhelming victories last night in the Potomac primaries, the cult of Obama worship has now become more reverent than ever. In keeping with this mood, first let me indulge in a bit of revent Obamassiah music composed by that famous Tin Pan Alley songwriter, pastor, and DUFU guest host, Charles Henrickson who currently, at great personal sacrifice, has given up eating lima beans for Lent although we expect him back soon after Easter. So now let us listen to his Obama cult composition titled, I Don't Know Why I Love Him from the Hit Musical, "Barack Obama Superstar," sung to the tune of I Don't Know How to Love Him :
I don't know why I love him,
My Barack, my Obama;
I've been charmed, yes really charmed,
By his trim physique, so slim and sleek--
I'm awed by his mystique.
I don't know why he's running,
I don't see any substance;
No real plan, flash in the pan,
And I've heard such empty words before
That when I close my eyes
He's just a bore.
But I like his face,
And I like his voice;
Makes my heartbeat race!
Makes me feel all moist!
I never thought I'd come to this:
Obama is my choice.
Don't you think it's rather shallow
I should vote for this fellow?
I'm the one who's always been
So pure, so pissed, so feminist;
I don't need men, oh no--
He scares me so.
But I like his face,
And I like his voice;
Makes my heartbeat race!
Makes me feel all moist!
I never thought I'd come to this:
Obama is my choice.
Yet, like in a romance novel,
I'm in love with a male model;
I've got to look! He signed my book!
My heart runs wild! I'll bear his child!
I want the world to know:
He's my "Big O"!
Obama, go!
I love you so!
And now that we've completed the requisite Obama worship let us now look at the DUmmies worshipping their Obamassiah in this THREAD titled, "What is being learned tonight: Obama Is Not Seen As A Democrat." You will probably get tooth decay just from reading the syrupy sweet praises offered up to the Obamassiah but the good news is that you will also get a lot of laughs from it as well. So let us now watch the DUmmies worship their Obamassiah in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if there is a talk radio programmer out there who would like to play on the air "I Don't Know Why I Love Him" composed by Pastor Charles who is currently suffering from lima bean withdrawal, is in the [brackets]:
What is being learned tonight: Obama Is Not Seen As A Democrat
[He is being seen as our Messiah!!!]
He's also not viewed as a Republican. He's seen as an AMERICAN. Sure, he's running on the Democratic ticket and his ideology is mostly liberal. But the problems we face, all Americans face, require that we all bind together, work together to solve them. If we don't, we will surely be lost. Millions of Americans will fall into poverty... unless we work together, UNITED as one PEOPLE to prevent it. Millions of Americans will continue to go without healthcare... unless we work together, UNITED as one PEOPLE to change. We must stand united as one people or our country will fall to ruin. We must stand united to heal the divisive politics that have been preached to us through right-wing radio. Whether we listened or not, enough people did, and the memes of hate and division were carried throughout all America via RW talk radio, destroying the unity that this country was built and raised on. The hate and divisiveness spread throughout all America, and you can see it reflected here on DU, like an echo of a loud, destructive noise that occurred long ago. We Americans have worked the hate and carelessness into our culture... it has been too easy to turn away from our neighbors, especially when they are in need. It has been too long since we cared for the poor, fed the hungry and healed the sick. And until the hate and divisiveness ends, and until the healing of this nation begins, we will continue to forget that we are not as divided as our politics suggest.
[HALLELUJAH brothers and sisters!!! The Obamassiah shall wave his magic wand and rid this land of the EVIL hate radio hosts so we can finally live in a warm and fuzzy collectivist paradise and hug our neighbors while we all sing Kumabaya together!]
This is why Obama gives Americans hope. He holds the promise and potential for us to heal our divisions in order to restore this Union, establish justice and prosperity. This is why he is winning over Independents and Republicans. This is why his message rings true with Democrats. This is why he is seen as a true American.
[The Obamassiah will heal the sick and purge the EVIL Republicans from our midst! He is the true Messiah!]
He has seen this clear vision for America and he has shared it with the masses. We see how it can be a reality and how each and every one of us can participate in bringing it to fruition. This is why Obama will be the next great American President.
[We need to make ourselves worthy of the coming of the Obamassiah! And now to hear the other DUmmies weigh in on the advent of their new Messiah...]
You must feel childish and immature, judging from that commentary!
[HERETIC! You must unquestioningly worship the Obamassiah!]
Come on, you want some Obama fever. That Clinton hiccup just can't compare!
[Amen brother! Give me that old time Obama!]
The cult meme is getting old. Find another soundbite to parrot, Polly.
[Lousy atheist!]
hey man, this a better kool aid than the stale froth Hillary's selling. Magical "Clinton Tear Ale", with a touch of "finding her voice", and a putrid aftertaste of "if I knew then what I know now". Blah...I'm voting Obama. I like Kool-Aid! OOOHHH YEAAAAAH!
[Hey man, just serve me up that Obama Kool-Aid! I'm not even going to ask what our Obamassiah has put in it. I will just unquestioningly drink it! OOHHH YEAAAAH!]
For the first time since Kennedy, Americans realize that they have been artificially separated by political talking points... points they bought into that didn't serve their own interest. Obama is uniquely capable of showing them otherwise. This isn't about compromise at all... it's a dramatic shift in perception by the American people... and Obama has unique talents for helping people to see the truth.
[The Light, the Truth, and the Obamassiah Way.]
The truth is that Americans who call themselves Republicans are realizing that they are maybe not represented by people with the same values. Obama has done well at pointing that out to them. By focusing on the issues faced by most Americans, he is able to show Americans, regardless of how they are registered, that Washington needs a fresh approach, a new start, and serious change.
[The Obamassiah is to "Change" as Homer Stokes was to "Reform."]
"he's triangulating, without specifics" now that would be a trick!
[Almost as good a trick as Homer Stokes' midget.]
All hail the Mighty Obama. He'll get the Republicans to give up everything they've stood for all those years and realize they love Liberal ideals after all. They want equality for all, vastly expanded social services, same-sex marriage, freedom of all religions, open immigration, comprehensive sex-ed (including LGBT information) and all that. Isn't it amazing?
[All hail the Mighty Obama. We shall put our brains on the freeze mode and just blindly follow the Obamassiah into the Promised Land.]
no analysis in OP--lots of stringing together of phases-part bible,part founding farther.
[Who cares? The empty Obamassiah rhetoric is just so uplifting!]
Obama is the best candidate we've run in eons.
[Or as Carl Sagan would say, the best candidate in billions and BILLIONS of years.]
He has transcended the D v. R paradigm, and it's huge.
[The Obamassiah has transcended our eartly realm.]
transcending to a far better world out there...
[Before election day is over, we shall meet our Obamassiah in paradise.]
He will be the greatest U.S. president - the transformational president!
[He will save us all before he even steps into the Oval Office!]
It is my greatest fear that there is no substance. Americans have been beaten down by the Bush Administration and they are looking for a savior. We were ripe for the plucking, so to speak. That is a lot to ask of a politician who is only human and is not our savior.
[GASP! How dare you accuse our Obamassiah of being only human? He IS our savior!!!]
This might be the appropriate DUFU thread to request this since I need some FReeper Karma. I won't ask for prayers since that should be reserved for life-threatening situations. However, my wife is taking her X-Ray licensing exam in a few hours. This is about her 5th or 6th try since 2002 and she hasn't been able to pass the general exam due to the fact that her English (she's from Venezuela) isn't quite up to par. (She did pass the basic X-Ray licensing exam in 2004 which has half as many questions). This time I suggested she listen to Rush Limbaugh a lot since he speaks very clearly and that would be a good way to improve her English. Ironically she is also completely apolitical.
Anyway, please send out some FReeper Karma waves for my wife to help her pass her general X-Ray licensing exam. Thanx in advance!
In before ping. It’s a first.
PING!

Magic Negro Top 10?
He's a "founding farther". Well, at least he's not a "founding farter".
Seriously, everything they are saying about Obama they said about Bill. "Uniter" blah, blah, blah "Even his enemies love him" blah, blah, blah, "brings hope and change" blah, blah, blah "greatest president ever" blah, blah, blah. Everything is exactly the same. He could rape a woman right in front of them and get off scott free.
He may not be the ‘messiah’, but anyone listening to Shrillary’s speech in Texas last night is still trying to recover from the pain in their ears.
Top 10?
Top 10?
Just barely. BTW, don’t forget to send out those Karma waves to my wife who will start taking her X-Ray licensing test at 1 PM today.
Brother, can you spare a paradigm?
All hail the great Stalin! We must work together to steal the riches of the few so that we all may live unproductive lives in poverty. Socialism works!
It’s a natural mistake — who but the Messiah would be locked into a neck-and-neck battle with the Antichrist?
Karma heading her way - saying some prayers for her. The Aventura deal is still on hold...you know how corporate is! Again, we still have the center in Miami Beach (right near South Beach) and we’re opening up a center in West Boynton Beach (just off the turnpike and Boynton Beach Boulevard). I don’t know if either of them will fit her tastes, but HCA does have hospitals in the area and they do x-ray there too, of course! For some reason, their website isn’t coming up right now, but it is www.hcahealthcare.com.
15!
Well, if she passes the general exam today, she won’t have any trouble finding a position at a hospital. She already has more than 10 years of experience as an X-Ray tech.
Oh, I'll be around, PJ, just not as much during this busy season. Right now I'm working on my sermon for this evening, so I may not get to DUFUing this thread until at least later this morning, and probably not until tonight.
“Brother, can you spare a paradigm?”
You shouldn’t have used the term “brother”. That makes you a racist!
Maybe you should write a sermon on the topic of persistence. My wife has been trying to pass this exam for over 5 years. Oddly enough she passed the basic X-Ray exam in 2004 which is exactly the same as the general test but with half as many questions. Also I suspect that she passed the general exam in 2005 but what happened is she took the test exactly a week before Wilma hit here and they send out the test results to Tallahassee once a week which means on the day they tried to send it out (if they did) we were hit by that hurricane. Then what happened is we couldn’t find out the results for about 6 months even though the results are normally revealed in less than two weeks after the exam. I suspect they just lost all the exam results due to the hurricane and covered their tracks by telling everyone that they failed to pass. Just a guess but WHY did they wait 6 months to reveal the results?
Will your sermon reflect on the hope for change? If so, be careful that Obama does not sue you for copyright infringement.
