On Fridays CBS "Early Show," co-host Harry Smith proclaimed: "Barack Obama took some time off from campaigning to go back to Washington, where he got the royal treatment yesterday." Correspondent Chip Reid followed with a report: "Officially this place, Capitol Hill, is Barack Obama's place of employment, but he doesn't come here very often. When he did make a rare visit yesterday he was treated like a rock star."
Reid went on to describe Obamas "rock star" tour of Congress: "Swarmed by tourists and reporters, Barack Obama slowly wound his way through the U.S. Capitol, visiting the House floor where observers say even some members of Congress appeared star struck."

Good grief. When are they going to start getting on their knees in front of him and start praying to him?
I know. And he responds to their fervor by giving them what they want, ie "the people want a president who will solve their problems". It's really kind of spooky.

I´ll start praying for a President called John McCain rather sooner than later.Better yet, join me in praying and asking for GOD's mercy and protection on this nation, regardless of which of these three remaining yahoos become President.

Is Senator Obama a Rorschach Test? "..Sen. Obama is a Rorschach test. I see hope! I see brains! I see a whole new kind of politician! I see an amazing life story! I see an orator! I see a natural! I see a hero!.."
This is the best explanation of the Obama effect. Obama is charming and does not have a record, people project what they want.
Also Democrats are hot to get back in the White House and anyone who looks to deliver this will be looked at as a savior, especially NOT a Clinton who has a LOT of enemies.

Rock Star is inappropriate for a President....Hardly what America's founding fathers anticipated.

I think it was Lars Larson that said from the day that Obama was sworn in as a Senator to the day he announced his exploratory committee for President, the Senate was in session for 142 days. Which is to say Obama has 142 DAYS of experience at the Federal level.
Most of his time in the Illinois state senate, he voted “present”.... what experience is that?
