I don't know about cult worship, but I do know I have several friends who are African American who are over the moon. Why?   Because for the first time in history someone who looks like they do really can do anything and be anything they want to be.

A few days ago someone posted below how Obama was "just like one of us" because he ordered a chili dog and cheese fries for lunch with the mayor of DC!  The idea, I guess, being that he isn't really like us, he's better than us, on a higher plane I guess, and that we should all swoon at his presence and revel in the idea that he could possibly be like us and eat a freaking chili dog!  Am I right?!?!?!

And then there is the countdown to his inauguration.  And can I just remind everyone it is an inauguration NOT a coronation.  The man is not going to be king! 

I've noticed this Obama worship for a while what with Oprah calling him "The One" on her show during the election race and the fervor at his rallies during the campaign, you know the swooning and fainting and the chanting "yes we can" like it was some sort of evangelical tent revival.  It was as if all reason was lost in the euphoria of this "man."  At first I tried to chalk it up to the excitement of the election.  But it continues now even after he has won the election.  Not only is it creepy, it is very, very dangerous. 

Just a simple Google search of obama blogs, I find this and many others with similar sentiments:

"Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway... Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul."

I'm not sure who the author is, but the author and this country has lost touch with reality and lost touch with God to the extent that people are looking to Obama as some sort of god.  Not believing in God doesn't mean you believe in nothing, it means you'll believe in anything and look around you, there is a great many people ready to believe in anything, even a black man from a corrupt Chicago political machine with a nice smile and pretty words. 

This is some pretty creepy stuff.

What is it about this issue that makes you people think that anyone finds YOU to be a threat to the point where you are all suddenly retreating and saying you won't post here any more???????????

The problem is with the breach of security on this site.  Unless you're the owner/moderator/administrator, this does not apply to you personally.

This issue should have been brought to the forefront on the company board a week ago when this incident happened, but I guess too many people were shocked by the blatant lack of ethics and the not so subliminal message that if anyone says anything negative about this company, your ISP will be tracked, and at that point, I, along with probable others, was afraid to post anything further.

In fact several, and I thought one of them was you, who were listing lots of links that Bush engineered 9/11.  I guess I was mistaken, but someone was posting it here.

I'm going to share this with my DH tonight.  We have discussing this election over and over and haven't been able to come up with a clear choice.  Our biggest concern is the economy.  Yes, I care about national security, but I think there are enough advisors on either campaign to handle that.  What affects me most is money.  Up until this point, we (DH and I) have been leaning to the left because it sounds like O's plans would be more beneficial to us.  However, after reading this, I'm not so sure anymore.  My husband and I work very hard to support our 3 kids and afford a nice home, vehicles and extras.  The last thing I want is someone taking that away from me and giving it to the welfare group.  They get enough breaks as it is.

I've said this numerous times -- McCain should be raising these issues in a better light, not counting on his supporters to find it.  It's sad because I fear it may be too late already.  Sometimes I think MC doesn't want to win this election.

I have the same feelings about it and I just hope come election day, Americans will think about all of those things when voting.  I had tears in my eyes yesterday worrying about it and I just can't for it to be over.  I pray about it everyday. 

So many are hateful with Bush and the last 8 years.  He was by no means perfect but we didn't get attacked again and I am grateful for that.  He imposed tax cuts which helped me greatly.  I am so sick of Obama tying McCain to Bush.  They are 2 different people.  People are craving change so much, but at what price???  They will get change for sure.  It will be the beginning of the end of democracy as we know it.

Don't forget, Kerry was ahead in the polls in 2004 and didn't win. 

Thanks again for your post.  Glad to know I am not alone in my feelings about this whole thing.
