You really need to see the creepy “Yes We Can” song video they are talking about.

A site called “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?” has a doctored photo of Obama standing on a flight of stairs, Christlike, above an adoring crowd while a ray of light beams from above.

There is no way this photo is doctored.

Soon, they will be hanging those big banners of his face like communist countries do.

They need the golden halo around his head to make this complete.

Yes, this is BAD. This is all the socialist left can muster?? A leader, like Jim Jones -— is he handing out the kool-aid ladels yet?? Do these fools even know what they are even chanting for, who this guy is, or what he has accomplished?? Nobody does —— and this guy could end up in the Oval Office?? Better than Hitlery, but not by much.

Maybe some shrunken heads, some beads to rattle, some bones to roll, and lots of smoke -— yeah, that should win the White House -——

* YAWN *

Most of his "fans" are simpering dolts, so I'm not too likely to be surprised when they act like a simpering dolt.

And before anyone crawls my arse for that description, I live in a very upscale, liberal area of Birmingham, Alabama and I see these bozos every day.

He looks great now because the media is in the tank for him and they shine his shoes. I'm on record. Even a skunk like McCain will probably clean his clock when the non-tards really take a look at his record and start to figure the "change" he means is more money out of their back pocket for whatever hard luck case suits his fancy.

Everybody loved John Kerry too according to the big media and I don't think Obama gets the votes Kerry did.

And kids will study his banalities in schools. A+ grade will be required to apply for college. Writers will write books and composers will compose songs about his glory.

But the resounding chorale of “Obama Uber Alles” is so catchy...

You gotta be kidding.
Tell me that photo isn't real.

It's almost a parody of his cult image.

Of course image and personal appeal has always been a big part of presidential politics. So I'm not surprised he's become so popular.

You know, when the enemy is under attack, you shouldn’t defuse the impact by bringing up a controversial televangelist. I’m just saying...

No, that photo was int he NYT Sunday Magazine. It looks like a triptych because of the glass windows in the foreground through which the picture was taken.

“... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama” - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.

If one ever listened to one of the renowned speakers such as Hitler’s infamous Propaganda Minister Goebbels who held Germans glued to his radio addresses, one feels struck by the similarity of Obama’s presentations, style, expressions, and eloquence.
Obama also effects similar reactions:
Convictions, engulfments, adherents, and yes fanaticism.
Needless to say: bitter wake-ups are unavoidable as future promises are just what they are: a play for emotions at the center.
