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.
While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, Im afraid its true anyway.
Not offensive, just very sad. Sad that someone could place face in a person so unworthy of it. Sad that you could be so misled by the propaganda media and the communists.
Surley, they will lead you to your death.
Larry Norman was one of my favorites!
Pray that The Obamination is NOT the Anti-Christ.
Perhaps the False Prophet....
I think it’s more like communisim.
OMG! If its not satire than we are in worse trouble than I thought.
Yep, I’ve been telling everyone I think this is definitely a dry run before the anti-christ. Satan is probably watching very closely to see just how many fools will follow this dirtbag knowing he can then make his move.
There is one Marx and Obama is His Prophet!
I meant could place “Faith” not face.
Sorry
BUMP
But they still don’t have the b@lls to tell the American public that they are selling a socialist revolution.
I am an impartial, professional journalist.
Guy has a ranch, shoots at Illegal Mexicans crossing the border on his land. Guy no longer owns his ranch..the illigal Mexicans do.
If you think about it most of the problems you mention are in the long run due to lawyers. No offense to all lawyers.

I think we have been so demoralized and demonized that we have sunk into a deep deep depression. We don’t know how nor have the will to fight anymore. That is a communist strategy. Our conservative leaders who we elect to try to fight for us have blinders on and refuse to fight for us. I thought Sarah Palin was going to be different but she has been changed by the handlers. I just hope God doesn’t let us twist in the wind too long.

and this kid understand more then the average American:
Gotta be satire....but I don’t think so.

Mock G-d and watch what happens.
Sounds like a nork talking about Kim-Jong Il .... these people have lost their damned minds and souls.
Amen to that.
