That is really well done! It scared me watching it because it's so obvious how very close to a religious cult the Obama campaign is deliberately designed to be.

I believe you're right by saying "designed." It's an old and effective ploy -- L.R. Hubbard used it, for example. I imagine some savvy political operators stuck their fingers in the wind and caught the "spiritual hunger" aspect of the Zeitgeist and said, "This is it. This is the the template."

It's the dream, stupid.

Stupid is the operative word, and The Obama campaign is counting on it. For the rest of us, the word is dangerous.
