My interest was piqued, but the dark time lived on until my faith in others was renewed on Jan. 4 in the Iowa state primary. Obama had beat out squeaky clean southern boy John Edwards and former first lady and next in the line of political succession Hillary Clinton. I was in shock. And then I came to Jesus/Obama.
I donated to the campaign. I followed every primary with bated breath, and muttered my prayers to the political gods while proselytizing the miracle of my new prophet. I got a car magnet, I bought a t-shirt; a pin and bumper sticker are on their way to my campus mailbox. Then the media and right wing questioning began: what is he? A rock star, or the next president? Bono or Britney? The naysayers used his popularity among young people against him. Who had ever heard of political posters in college dorm rooms? Bumper stickers on the back of your high school neighbor's Jetta? Guess what those "Jesus is my homeboy" t-shirts were replaced with at Urban Outfitters? A smiling Obama under his own cutesy sayings like "Obama for yo Mama."
I must admit, I questioned this myself. After all, would I have ever bought a t-shirt with Al Gore's face on it? Was this all he was, the newest pop culture fad? I questioned my newfound faith - was it all only a phase, like the time I thought I was Baptist in junior high? But my inner dogmatic struggle only helped cement my beliefs as I followed politics more closely than ever before. Obama's mere presence, knowledge and enthusiasm in the political realm inspired my own desire to understand what exactly had gone wrong, what exactly he could do to remedy the mess we'd made.
Then I began to realize I wasn't the only one trying to buy a WWOD bracelet and spending my weekends scouring CNN.com. The rock star-type love for Obama wasn't just because he was pretty and in the media. Others too, had seen him as a shining light, heard that mythical voice boom out over the mountaintops; people were wearing the t-shirt because they would rather wear something representing a politician than a pop star. People everywhere, young and old, were caring again. So what's the problem here?
I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.
God help the USA if obama is elected.
So very true.
Sorry.
You are a few centuries too late.
There is a shrine that sits on top of the ruins of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
Those who built it declared: "There is no god but Allah, and his prophet is Mohammed."
I hope your comment is to the author of the article, not to me.
Yeah I have always thought that Islam is the false religion. Obama could be the False Profit.
As I get older I am thinking that the the anit Christ is an ideal. It’s is the anit-freedom ideal.
The only way evil prospers is when freedom is gone. Freedom was a God given right. Freedom is what the Anit Christ wants to take.
Yes, it was, I thought that was understood, sorry if you thought it was directed at you.
Ping
Just wanted to be sure you noticed the source...no problem.
You know, obama doesn’t really fit the profile of the anti-Christ in that he’s not coming proclaiming peace and being deceptively smooth as I would expect.
Not enough people are falling for it.
However, what is truly alarming is the way people are venerating a mere man, him no less. Those worshippers of his are totally sold out in a way that’s extremely alarming.
I guess it goes to show how everybody will fall for the anti-Christ when he comes.
miss that old hammer and sick-le
Same worries. At times they have been brilliant, responding to attacks, good ads, keeping the secret of the vp, choice of vp, and then about this bailout and going for the jugular, ?
That sick-le looks like what the islamofacists use to behead anyone they disagree with.
We now have the Obama channel on Dish Network. Channel 73
That's scary.
The Obama channel? Yep, I’ve heard it all now. This is really starting to feel like a bad, bad scifi novel. Something like Captain Bennett Marco meets Edward Nygma.
I don't want a pickle, I just want to wave the old hammer and sickle.
hey that rhymes!
If you watch the Obama youth sing video the worship element
is truely creepy.
Oh, my !!!

These two, for example:

Scary !!
That is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.
She’s replaced Christ with Obama?
Why?
He’s not the second coming...he’s a cult.
