Where have all those Obamenthusiasts who were so visible in 2008 been hiding this year? In this New Republic article Lydia DePillis seems to think that the problem is that Organizing For America has been run as a top-down organization, rather than as a bottom-up movement, giving the folks out there no sense of ownership. She asks, “Can a grassroots organization run in the top-down style of a political machine really accomplish much—let alone change the terms of debate on any given issue?” I think there’s something more going on here. Many Obamenthusiasts were thrilled by the idea of putting...

I just deleted my Police CD's from my hard drive

What a difference a year makes. On a balmy Tuesday evening in November just under a dozen long months ago, Barack Hussein Obama's unlikely journey to the presidency reached its heady conclusion. Americans had shown, he proclaimed, that they could "put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day". The then Illinois senator told the enraptured crowd, and a world that watched in awe at what the United States had achieved, that "all things are possible", that "our union can be perfected" and it was time for the "partisanship...

Sting: Obama Was 'Sent From God', Critics 'Violent and Full of Fear' By Lachlan Markay Created 2009-10-30 13:58 Many Hollywood leftists consider President Obama a figurative godsend. Some, including Sting, think he was literally sent from God. The former Police front-man told the Associated Press that he believes that Obama is a gift from Heaven, delivered to shepherd the befuddled masses to providence (h/t Ace [1]). "In many ways, he's sent from God," Sting said in an interview with the AP [2]. He heaped praise upon the President for his ability to lead the country though the "mess" in which...

NEW YORK (AP) - Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems. In an interview, he jokes that Obama was "sent from God," but in a serious tone, he also said that Obama was the best person to handle the world's "mess."

I'm amazed the NEA Chairman can make such a statement since Obama is hiding everything he published.

Obama 'Most Powerful Writer Since Julius Caesar,' Says NEA Chief Rocco Landesman, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, declared in a speech to art philanthropists in Brooklyn last week that President Obama is the world's most powerful writer since the days of Caesar. By Joseph Abrams FOXNews.com Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Et tu, Rocco? Maybe President Obama will win the Nobel Prize for Literature, too, now that the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts has declared that "Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar." Rocco Landesman rendered unto Obama that considerable compliment in...

Rocco Landesman, the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) chairman, said, in part: "This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists."...

This, from the president's chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Scott Johnson goes to town, in response. Rocco Landesman, the NEA chairman, said, in part: This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.

I am re-posting because I provided the incorrect URL for National Review. Sorry about that.

For 30 months the nation has been in the grip of a certain Obama obsession, immune to countervailing facts, unwilling to face reality, and loath to break the spell. But like all trances, the fit is passing, and we the patient are beginning to appreciate how the stupor came upon us, why it lifted, and what its consequences have been. How Obama Won Barack Obama was elected rather easily because, in perfect-storm fashion, five separate trends coalesced last autumn. 1) Obama was eloquent, young, charismatic - and African-American. He thus offered voters a sense of personal and collective redemption, as...

Napoleon famously crowned himself Emperor of France and its conquered European empire, which he was trying to spread to Russia, Britain and Egypt, in its brief moment of grandeur. I'm wondering if Obama also crowned himself Nobel Laureate right after the US election. That would fit his vainglorious persona and his famished ego, always hungry for more and more applause. Just wait till we see his Nobel PC Address being televised around the world. America is too little for Zero. Obama obviously thinks of himself as a Man of Destiny, like Napoleon and quite a few other Saviors on Horseback....

Take a look at the verse on the cover. The LORD God is saying this verse. With O's face on it, the connection can be made that O said this verse, instead of God Himself. Wow.

President Barack Hussein Obama was named to replace the Holy Spirit in the Christian Trinity today in ceremonies in Oslo...

Scientists shocked to find the image of President Barack Obama of the United States on the Shroud of Turin.

Not since Jesus of Nazareth in the early days of history has there been such a rising star in the heavens. Obama today, through the sheer force of his teleprompters, turned a bottle of water into a carafe of fine Merlot. He'll be flyin to Paris later with his wife so he can drink while gazing at the Seine...Later this week he plans to feed all of Detroit from a few fishes and unleavened loaves of bread.

VATICAN CITY (AP) - African bishops attending a Vatican meeting are speaking about the election of Barack Obama in divine terms—putting them very much at odds with many of their U.S. counterparts. Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana said Wednesday that there was "a divine plan behind" Obama's election. "It's like the biblical story repeating itself," he told reporters, citing the Old Testament figure Joseph, who after being sold into slavery in Egypt ends up becoming a top official. "We believe God has his own plans. God directs history," he said of the U.S. election. "We pray that it...

"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....."

I don't have anything against tattoos, but I have to wonder when these people will begin to regret the decisions they made to put this crap on their bodies. What I couldn't find is any anti-obama tats.

In May of 2008, Times Online ran an article entitled, Barack Obama: the New Great Redeemer. The author, Gerard Baker, recognized something many American voters at that time were unwilling to admit, which was, The idolatry of Mr. Obama is a shame...The Illinois senator is indeed, an unusually talented, inspiring and charismatic figure...But he is not a saint. He is a smart and eloquent man with a personal history that is startlingly shallow set against the scale of the office he seeks to hold... If the past 40 years have taught us anything they have surely taught that premature canonization...
