Deliver Us Obama

I heard about and saw many accounts during the 2008 elections where Obama zealots were praising him, girls collapsing in his presence like they were at a Beatles concert, and several people talking about how he was going to save this country. Okay, so I can understand a little hype and a few isolated cases of Obama-mania. I understand how it’s easy for people to get emotionally involved in politics. But this following video is complete absurdity…

Did they really say “Deliver us Obama”? “Hear our cry, Obama”? Wow, I’m almost speechless…. almost. Now, I know this is an isolated group of fanatics, but last time I checked, Obama wasn’t qualified to answer prayers and deliver blessings from heaven. Chanting at The President? Does that not strike you as a bit cultish? To be fair, this kind of worship toward any non-deity is madness. I’ve had my share of run-ins with those that feel that “Bush could do no wrong.” They’re all politicians, people!

What kind of nonsense is this? This isn’t patriotism. This isn’t love of country or freedom. This is sheer ignorance, stupidity with a pinch of “do everything for me” sprinkled on top. Hmmmm.. we remove any mention of God from our culture, communities and schools only to be replaced with this? Maybe these acts of insanity aren’t mainstream, but is it any wonder why so many are now concerned about our country edging toward Socialism? Replacing love and faith in God for love and faith in big government is key to successful Socialism.

All this is before Obama was even in office. Even many conservatives were hopeful after his election. Now, his approval ratings are showing that perhaps this train we are on doesn’t have any brakes (I guess they weren’t earmarked in the stimulus package). Meanwhile his extremely high speed agenda keeps chuggin’ along. Next stop… health care?
