Obama as Messiah

I'm a Christian who also happens to be an Obama supporter. I have one Saviour, Jesus Christ. I'm not sure why because throngs of people have come out to support Obama, the media thinks they are worshipping him. I support Obama because of his policies and I believe he has a better plan for moving this country in the right direction than Hillary Clinton. He is not my Messiah and I'm offended that others would think that I worship him. If you are so concenred about Obama worship, where is your scrutiny for those on the Right who worship Ronald Reagan?

You call it worship, but the mass population is tired of all the BS. The country is going down the tube and for what? greed, power. We want a country we can be proud of. If things continue the way they have been our generation is in serious trouble. There is no reason a country like ours can't have universal healthcare- they've been talking about this for the past twenty years and we are no closer to universal healthcare than we were twenty years ago. Its disgusting. If Clinton or McCain is put into office it will be a decision this country will live to regret. It is a rocket straight to hell. A Flashback to the last eight years or so is a Glimpse into the next eight years to come.

This was all predicted in the New Testament. People are gathering around them teachers to give their itching ears what they want to hear. Without doubt, Obama and his wife and his ad team, are selling him as a messiah.

The audacity of hope? Obama is just selling selfishness in a new wrapper.

Okay I guess I don't see it. He is a great speaker and he not only can tell you what he wants to do (lay out his plans), but can actually get you excited about the prospects. But most of all he's motivational. People keep saying he's inspiring. All good leaders have always been inspiring, they've always reached out to the people and inspired them to do more than they thought they could. That's why we call them "Name-the-Great" usually or why they are remembered in history...because they unified those they governed and inspired them to strive towards goals. Elizabeth I is a good example. Her nation was torn over all kinds of divisions and yet somehow she found a way to unite her people...and today she is revered as a great leader. Winston Churchill inspired those he governed at a time when they really needed to feel motivated and inspired. I'll admit I didn't immediately jump onto the Obama band-wagon. If anything I was skeptical of this politician.....he seemed to be saying a lot, but I wondered if it meant anything. Turns out he has ideas, too, and they're not really all that bad of ideas. And turns out he's a bit of realist. That was refreshing, though I'll admit I didn't realize that. Suddenly I realized what some of my friends were saying about him. That it wasn't just the inspiration and the message of hope that they liked, they liked his ideas and they felt like this was a person who could get people to sit down their divisions and work towards common goals. I remember after listening to one speech I turned to my mom and I said "he sounds kinda like Rev Martin Luther King, Jr." My mom said she thought he sounds more like "John F. Kennedy." All I know is that I see people who are Republicans and Democrats and Independents who are suddenly paying attention to the election and who are interested in him. They haven't said they're going to vote for him, but they're interested. They feel engaged again, like they have something to contribute. After the last elections many people I talked to wondered why they'd even bothered voting in the first place. What was the point? Millions of votes, machines problems, list problems...how did you know your vote counted? People were starting to think that they didn't matter. All of sudden many of those same people I have known now for awhile are actually interested, actually engaged. They're not apathetic, they're paying attention. No they haven't said they're all voting for Obama...some of them went and voted for Clinton, but they're paying attention now! And I like that!

oh, oh, oh, I barely got through the article. Kathleen Parker, A woman who reeks sarcasm and political bias.
Hope IS a powerful tool. Don't be fooled into thinking preaching hope is wrong. Obama knows that in a political ring the four letters H-O-P-E will take him a very long way with the general public.

Ah a video about optimism. How refreshing. especialy in the face of Clinton's pessimistic tendencies.

I dont have a lot to say about "Obama as Messiah" it's all just a lot of useless un-tasteful disparagement.
