He is very cyborg like.

I wish he was a mirage!

“Two years have passed and the shine has faded. Every initiative that the American idoru has undertaken has generated only controversy and failure.”

But 45% of the moronic population still accepts or approves of the fake messiah.
Add to that the pundit talk that he will be hard to beat in 2012.
With the American population becoming dumber by the minute,
I say the country is in very deep doodoo.

[bronxville]

Cyborg is a good word to describe him. He also has no shadows from the past...and no birth certificate. Now I’m ready for the nut-house. :)

Life is but a dream, my friend. Did you think they were kidding?

[bronxville]

I never saw that before...it certainly echoes the excellent article.

As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

[MestaMachine]

I made it.

[bronxville]

Well done.

[spokeshave]

He may be real but has no tacit knowledge of US institutions, culture, history or people.

[TigersEye]

Nice. Appropriate.

Is Obama real? Or is he the virtual creation of a group of spectral manipulators, of David Axelrod, George Soros, Bill Ayers and other tenebrous figures, who have combined their talents and resources to seize upon a mediocre legislator with no achievements to his credit and craft a glittering ectoplasm from pliable material in order to serve their political purposes—to produce, in effect, what Gibson calls a “consensual fantasy”? Is he merely, in Gibson’s terms, nothing but, “a personality-construct, a congeries of software agents, the creation of information-designers”? A Loki-like shape-shifter? A kind of synthespian?

It is hard to resist the conclusion that, for all the bewilderment he sows and the undeniable harm he does, Barack Obama does not exist. An idoru sits in the Oval Office and the only transparency he has brought to American politics is that we can see right through him.

This is spooky, and too close to the truth.

[Ditter]

This is good.

I did a web search for “idoru”

and found this apparent interview with the author of the SciFi work. (of all places on Salon)

http://www.salon.com/weekly/gibson3961014.html

“what was the kernel of “Idoru”?”

Not sure what to make of this, but I know what Obozo is. Evil representing the forces of evil. The enemies of all Free Men.

[Texas Fossil]

But, Chauncey was harmless. Obozo is not.

Zer0 is exactly what the voters wanted to fulfill their fantasy world on the unicorn farm. Life is but a dream to them.
