Is It Me, Or Does Obama Think He's the New Messiah?

[NashVegas]

Folks, it's all about what you project. Really.

49. Obama: Cult , Evangelicalism or Political Campaign?

"Excuse me, but this sounds more like a cult than a political campaign. The language used here is the language of evangelical Christianity – the Obama volunteers speak of 'coming to Obama' in the same way born-again Christians talk about 'coming to Jesus.'...So I say, we should all get a grip, stop all this unseemly mooning over Barack, see him and the political landscape he is a part of in a cooler, clearer, and more realistic light, and get to work."

With Obama there is a http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/2/7/112248/5633">huge gap between "inspiration" and substance

2. Just wandered into GD-P and stumbled upon this gem. Alert.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

35. Have you alerted all the Hillary photoshopped BS?

[Bucky]

3. Some posters just beg to be put on ignore.

Beg no more, my friend. You now have my last reply.

[1776Forever]

38. I am with you - If Obama is the new Messiah would this person even know it?

What does the Messiah look like? Is she blond and around 60?

:dunce: :freak: :dunce:

7. The New Messiah

If ever there was God,
Please let him shock my heart.
I'm no good no more.
All my prayers fall short.
I'm not strong enough,
I'm not strong enough.

And you are the new messiah,
Turning my blood into fire.
Our tongues are twisted like wire,
In the visions your body inspires.
Come cross a river of fire,
To sleep in this bed of desire.
I'm letting you go to my head,
Oh, like a bullet to the brain. (x2)

When I first saw your brown eyes,
I swear that I'd seen your face before.
But I can't say where or when.
Were you heaven sent?
Or just hell bent on taking me in?

Or are you the new messiah,
Turning my blood into fire?
Our tongues are twisted like wire,
In the visions your body inspires.
Come cross a river of fire,
To make up this bed of desire.
I'm letting you go to my head,
Oh, like a bullet to the brain. (x2)

If ever there was God,
Please let him shock my heart.
I'm no good no more.
All my prayers fall short.
I'm not strong enough,
I'm not strong enough.

And you are the new messiah,
Turning my blood into fire.
Our tongues are twisted like wire,
In the visions your body inspires.
Come cross a river of fire,
To sleep in this bed of desire.
I'm letting you go to my head,
Oh, like a bullet to the brain. (x2)

8. Some others may think so, but he doesn't act like it

That's the difference between Hillary and Obama -- he's humble in the face of all the adulation, while she exudes entitlement and self-satisfaction.

[movonne]

19. I am a Obama supporter. but I must say I do not think he is humble...

[EffieBlack]

48. Neither is Clinton or Edwards or Kucinich or most other politicians who

think they are all that enough that scores of millions of people should vote for them to lead the country.

Every politician I know has a healthy ego. Funny, it only seems to have become a problem when Obama gives any indication that he thinks he has what it takes to be president, just like everyone else in the race.

[polichick]

9. I'll volunteer to spit-shine his halo! :)

[cbayer]

10. It's you. Not recommended.

[calteacherguy]

11. Definitely all you. nt

[Mz Pip]

12. What a waste of

Photoshop.

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. I go with the majority, it's you. Try a different line of attack n/t

[Blue-Jay]

14. Why do you feel the need to be ridiculous?

When you post stupid shit, reasonable people think that you're an idiot. Sure, you might get a few "hur hur hurs" from other idiots, but is that what you really want?

[Blue-Jay]

17. case in point: see below.

[NashVegas]

21. Because Some Threads Deserve Ridiculing

I could write 6 paragraphs on projection and fame and culture, and it would sink faster than a bad Dustin Hoffman movie.

If 100 people open this and only 10 get what it's about, it still got the message across, and a lot faster.

[Blue-Jay]

24. I missed the sarcasm.

Sorry. I'm usually better than that. Try me tomorrow.

:thumbsup:

[durrrty libby]

15. Well he wants to "Create a Kingdom on Earth" So....could be.

[Cooley Hurd]

16. Damn, Crisco...

You just bummed me out...:(

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Oh ho ho! You change the names!

Oh ho ho ho! You a funny man!

[lligrd]

20. How Long Until Someone Here Claims

Obama is the anti-christ? Or have they already?

[Straight Shooter]

30. He doesn't fit the profile. For that matter, neither does bush.

No politician does.

[IDemo]

22. Thank you for this post.

Another one bites the button.

23. Copied from a post on "Proof Its (sic) A Cult" thread

THE INDEPENDENT (London, England)
Friday, 8 February 2008

Super Tuesday was also Mardi Gras, of course, and the necklace beads were still hanging from the live oaks along St Charles Avenue when supporters started queuing for Mr Obama shortly after a chilly dawn.

Louisiana holds its primary tomorrow, though most people here – a crowd more iPhone than Lower Ninth Ward – knew who they will vote for. "Yes he can!" is still the favourite chant.

The near-messianic cadences – uplifting to his followers, disconcerting to critics – remained of course. Barbara Ganucheau, 47, high in the stands, calls Mr Obama her "prince". When he appeared she began to cry. She was weeping still when he was done. "I get the chills from my toes to my head," she says of the candidate. Why is he her candidate? "It comes from inside of me, I just know."

=============================

Doesn't matter if he thinks so, if enough people are foolish enough to think that. I've never seen so much desperate nonsense in my life, that so many are willing to imbue a mortal man with god-like attributes. For Barack to ostensibly be such a religious man, this unquestioning adulation is bordering on the profane and perhaps he should address it. Instead he seems to thrive on it. I remember a right-wing nutjob basking in the same kind of glory.

25. I know Oprah thinks he is. n/t

[EFerrari]

29. Who are you, her palmist?

You guys kill me.

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

26. It's you and the right wing media. n/t

[bigwillq]

27. No. It's you. (nt)

[Iktomiwicasa]

28. it's just you

[bridgit]

31. But can he ride a dinosaur like Jeebus?

[NoBorders]

32. It's you.

Smoking too much weed I assume.

[Raejeanowl]

33. Let's Stop This Stuff, Okay?

I don't like him, either. I only dislike Hillary somewhat less and I am sympathetic to her position. She's a known quantity to me. I think he's phony as a three-dollar bill, no more exalted than Hillary ethically, and far less capable than she, but I'm glutted with this nasty sniping over the "cult" thing.

If there's any truth to that accusation, it does tend to reveal itself.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

34. For those complaining about the photoshop ... STFU!!

For months we've been looking at all the disgusting pictures of Senator Clinton dragged in from every RW site the SAINT's supporters could find.

Hell, I just came from a thread where a picture was posted of "Hillary the Queen". It's been allowed in spite of complaints and, as you know, turnabout is fair play.

So, as far as I'm concerned ... let the photoshopping begin.

[Endangered Specie]

39. They can dish it out but they can't take it

[tavalon]

36. It's you

And to quote a well known DUer, it's time for you to get over your bad self.

[burythehatchet]

37. It's not you

it's yo mama for letting you go on the internets

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. yes he does....

41. It's definately you.

42. It's you.

Nice job of trivializing the political process.

[skooooo]

43. It's you.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

44. Obama has done everything but the Huckabee cross trick!

[CyberPieHole]

45. The "evangelical" posturing and his pandering to the religious bigots...

[mtnsnake]

46. K&R!

47. I've Asked the Mods to Lock This

Most people totally missed the point.
