The Obama cookie boom

He didn't "sell himself as the one the world was waiting for." You might want to stop watching Fox News if you think he was. Of course it's going to take years, if not decades to fix what this Bush Administration and corporate greed have destroyed.

I would have thought that on Beliefnet one would be more enlightened...and using "cult" as tag on this post shows that you just don't get it.

Bush and corporations didn't hold a gun to your head

No, he didn't. I remember him saying it was our patriotic duty to spend money, go shopping.

Well, we did our part: remodeled the house last year. We're done spending now, thank you.

Sayeth the Obama:
"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals."

Sayeth also the Obama:
"Hope."
"Change."

The large majority of Obama's supporters followed him not because of a cognizant understanding of his policies and their ramifications, but because they were mesmerized by the "hope/change" mantra. The cookies are just the latest example of the cultish following the man has drawn to himself. This is not to say OCCULTISH, although there may be some element of that at work as well!

Jillian- you might want to start watching Fox News just so you can get the other side of the story. I didn't even know about that station until a friend of mine told me about it because I was intelligent enough to realize that the mainstream media was doing a poor job covering the election. I was tired of hearing about the coming of our Saviour, Barack Obama. When I found Fox News, I was relieved to see that not everyone was brainwashed by this guy. The election was a mess, and you and many others like you didn't pay attention to the issues. This guy is a Marxist Socialist and when he can't fulfill all of the promises he made to the American people, they can be angry, and I can say, "I told you so."

Exactly.

And now the "Marxist Socialist" is your president for at least the next 4 years, so learn how to cope just as we had to cope with Bush/Cheney for the past 8 (and got called bad Americans/traitors when we complained).
