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.
Agree although it gets depressing at times.
I would like to leave my children America, not AmeriKa.
WWOD, we need to ask ourselves the next 34 days, WWHD?
What would Hillary do?
I can’t imagine she and Bill would allow one term, let alone 2 , for obama.
I’m not ready for AmeriKa.
That’s it, the NANNY STATE.
Just give up our kids to the OBAMA NATION, cause he can raise them better than us. Even better, indoctrination camps, similar to his Ayers-Chicago boot camps. /s
I have to listen to this liberal talking points, cult-like sayings from my lefty mother, and she’s not that old.
Funny thing, she believes in redistribution of wealth, just not hers. (like all of the dems) I’m poor and I donate way more than she does.
Any donation she makes is to the coffers of any anti-bush book author. Has a whole collection. Even donated to that Franken campaign and she doesn’t live anywhere near minn.
WHOA! I was put the bit in quotes. It was from the first page of the article. Those certainly are not my opinions. PLEASE correct your assumption. This was my entire post, and I thought it was obvious that it was a quote:
Back it up to the first page. Here’s some of it:
“Obama is my homeboy. And I’m not saying that because he’s black - I’m saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters t-shirts from a couple years ago that said, “Jesus is my homeboy.” Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus.
“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, I’m afraid it’s true anyway.”
I was speaking to the author not you. I realize you didn’t write that crap.
Ping.
Whew! You scared me there for a minute! THANKS.
I John 2:18 talks about many antichrists. I think Obama qualifies as one. As Larry expressed it, I think Obama’s intentions ARE six-sixty-six.
I, for one, will never bow the knee to Baal.
WWHD?
Sadly, I don’t think there is anything she or Bill can do...because IMO they would have already done it.
I get a trully weird feeling right now from The Republicans and the McCain team...snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?
Great (and sadly true) post, T4E.
Welcome to the grand result of years of brainwashing.
A
bump to watch at home
After watching a video (1985) about the ways to going about setting into motion the demoralization, destabilization, and then finally, the NORMALIZATION of a country by a former KGB member, I realized he was all too right on one point: It happens right before your very eyes. Nothing hidden. And it only takes one brainwashed generation to get a country there (where we are this very day).
There’s a time to weep.
then I think the tribulation begins. He will walk into the temple and call himself God.
Well first he will nuke Israel.
Ok. Here’s what I’ve been doing and it’s actually alot of fun. Go to every blog you can, sign up, and then pretend you are a liberal Obama follower. Be careful not to overdo it and expose your inner freeper. Make posts about how excited you are that O is winning and will be our next President because he will fix everything. Make sure you sound a little stupid.This subliminal tact could get those leaners to worry about Obama.
