Swooning Supporters Fainting for Obama
World Net Daily ^ | February 16, 2008

Posted on 02/16/2008 8:09:16 PM PST by keats5

Call it the Barack Obama traveling salvation show – campaign rallies and speeches that seem like the secular counterpart of tent-meeting revivals and evangelistic sermons common in the U.S. a century ago. And, in apparent similarity to the religious enthusiasm of that bygone era, some of those coming to hear the Democrat presidential candidate "preach" his message are fainting as he speaks. A video compilation by Breitbart.TV shows Obama on several occasions breaking off his speeches to address someone who has collapsed, usually close to the stage, and to call for medical personnel while he offers bottled water to the overcome supporter. The similarity between the events and the emotive opportunity it offers the candidate has some on the web questioning whether the campaign is employing shills or whether the phenomenon is evidence of fanaticism and cause for concern.

Just like the old tent revivalists. Work ‘em into an emotional frenzy. They were full of s#&t and Obama is too. God help us if the electorate buys his snake oil.

Yes, this is understandable. He sucks the oxygen right out of a room.

Neil Diamond sang it beautifully:

It’s Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.
Pack up the babies, and grab the old ladies
‘Cause everyone goes. ‘Cause everyone know
That brother love shows.

We seem to be a nation of idiots!

If he's the new messiah, somebody forgot to tell me.

The worst thing about it is that these idiots will be voting for this smooth talker who doesn't have a clue about much.

I faint when I see John McCain, but for different reasons.

You’ll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you’ll see me
I’m a sensation.
I’m a sensation.
I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me
Love enhanced when I’ve gone by.
They worship me and all I touch
Hazy eyed they catch my glance,
Pleasant shudders shake their senses
My warm momentum throws their stance.
You’ll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you’ll see me
I’m a sensation.
Soon you’ll see me can’t you feel me
I’m coming...
Send your troubles dancing I know the answer
I’m coming...
I’m coming...
I’m a sensation.
You’ll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you’ll see me
I’m a sensation.
I’m a sensation.
I leave a trail of rooted people
Mesmerised by just the sight,
The few I touched now are disciples
Love as One I Am the Light...
I Am the Light!

Fainting is what taxpayers will be doing when they get Obama’s tax bill in 2009.
