    In yet another example of the absurd, even borderline blasphemous depictions of Barack Obama as if he were a religious figure, the L.A. Times foisted upon its customers an amazing specimen as a wrap around over its newsstand copies of the paper leading up to inaugural day last week. Freeper "puffer" was so amazed at the audacity of this L.A. Times imagery, he had to scan the sheet and display it on FreeRepublic.com. The photograph is reminiscent of one of the most famous and iconic depictions of God in western art, the Sistine Chapel painting of God reaching out to...
  • Oprah Show Glows for Obama: 'The Light of the New Age Is Here'

    Wednesday’s post-inaugural edition of The Oprah Winfrey Show, taped at a Washington restaurant, overflowed with strange and messianic notions about Obama and how the thrill over him is unanimous. Actor Forest Whitaker summed it up for Oprah: "The light of the New Age is here." Oprah pal Gayle King passed along her agreement with a message that "Not only does he hear us. He feels us. That when I hear Barack Obama, they said, he talks to my soul." Whitaker also strangely claimed "we’re not used to seeing" a president and a First Lady who love each other, but the...

    As President Barack Obama gears up to tackle urgent challenges, from the economy to the Middle East, and to reverse the many failed policies of the Bush administration, he should pay special attention to those that have denied women around the world basic reproductive health care. The United States used to lead the way in forging international agreements on women's reproductive health and rights, values that fully reflect fundamental constitutional principles. I am proud to have played a part, along with many others, in building global support for these agreements. But three policies supported by the Bush administration have greatly...

    Today, I will be joining with Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Christian leaders at the National Prayer Service for our new president. Each of us will look different, sound different and hold different beliefs, but each of us will humbly offer words of hope and blessing for our country and its leaders. No matter all of the differences that the religious leaders assembled might have with one another, there is a common ground that has brought us all together. This common ground is the common good —- for our country and our world. A very new and yet very old role...
  • Now truly we are one country: Our deeply American President Barack Obama leads the way

    The winter sun glinted off the flag pin on Barack Obama's lapel as he rose in the sudden hush and stepped forward to take the oath as our new President. He fumbled over the words for a moment, but that made him seem only more human as hundreds of thousands in the Mall began waving as many American flags as have ever been waved in one place at one time. The vast sea of flags kept waving as the cannons fired the 21-gun salute and the Marine band played "Hail to the Chief" for our most fully American President. Back...

    Washington, D.C. (AHN) - A new media survey released two days before the U.S.' 44th President Barack Obama takes his oath of office showed that racism is no longer viewed by many Americans as a major problem compared to 12 years ago.The Washington Post-ABC News survey said only 25 percent still view racism as a prominent problem of society, that percentage stood at 54 percent in 1996. Obama's election as president is seen as yielding a positive effect on better race relations.But the same survey said the proportion of African Americans who suffered from racial discrimination the past six years...

    Of those surveyed, 79 percent were optimistic about the next four years under Obama, the highest level of goodwill attained by any of the past five incoming presidents. Most Americans told The Times that they did not expect real progress in improving the economy, reforming the health care system or ending the war in Iraq -- three of the central promises of the Obama campaign for at least two years.

    Continuing our series on the Obama Superstar phenomenon sweeping the nation, World Net Daily is reporting that the fanbois at MSNBC are planning to take their fawning coverage of the inauguration to the big screen. MSNBC and Screenvision are teaming up to give away free tickets to what I'm sure Chris Matthews will soon call the "event of the century." Presumably this is either because they think not enough people have televisions or because they figure all the Obamatons will eventually need to know who to blame...
  • CNN's Soledad O'Brien Suggests Obama's a Hero Like the Hudson River Pilot

    CNN’s Saturday filled with following Barack Obama’s train trip to the Inauguration was also filled with Obama praise. At one juncture, CNN couldn’t help but metaphorically merge Barack Obama with the exhilarating news of the US Airways pilot who landed his plane in the Hudson River without losing a single passenger. A few minutes after 2 pm Eastern time, anchorman Wolf Blitzer recalled "Soledad [O’Brien] and I were talking about this earlier and she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but...

    Eleven weeks after one of the most engaging Presidential elections in American history --and just days before the inauguration of the winner, Barack Obama --passions are running high about his presidency. In a nonscientific survey on UnionLeader.com last week, four in 10 respondents agreed with the statement that the historical significance of this inauguration "has been greatly exaggerated." About the same percentage said they believe Obama "is in over his head and the country is headed for disaster." On the other hand, 10 percent of the 419 respondents believe Obama will be "one of America"s greatest presidents," and another 18...

    Barack Obama plans a 'paparazzi presidency' to speak directly to voters Barack Obama plans to cash in on his celebrity status and create what is being called a "paparazzi presidency", using appearances and interviews in glossy magazines to speak directly to voters. By Tim Shipman in Washington 17 Jan 2009 Planning to mobilise his vast network of supporters: Mr Obama's campaign, election and forthcoming inauguration have sparked the kind of hysteria and fascination with even his most inconsequential activities, usually associated with the private lives of Hollywood celebrities.

    Barack Obama's historic train ride to Washington on Saturday drew large, cheering crowds of people who braved freezing weather and gathered along the tracks in cities and small towns along the way in hopeful anticipation of getting a glimpse of the nation's next president. In Baltimore, Maryland, alone, about 40,000 people stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the cold to greet Obama as he stopped on his way to his Tuesday inauguration. His welcome was raucous and animated, as the sea of people cheered, waved and took pictures. Tears rolled down one woman's face as Obama spoke. "We love you, Obama!" another yelled...

    Writers for late-night television shows, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, have lamented recently that they would love to bust President-elect Barack Obama's chops more. But fear of a politically correct backlash and a lack of major stumbles to date on Obama's part make him a tough topic. Stand-up comedians, though, say Obama is fair game. ''Those TV writers have to worry about ratings. They don't like boos or groans from the audience. We thrive off of it,'' said Lisa Lampanelli, a comic famous for her no-topic-is-off-limits policy, and her obsession with...
