Please tell me they’re not serious?
A very quick break this morning to bring you this:
Alright, so I’m an Obama supporter. It’s true. I voted for him in the primaries, my once Hillary-admiring self cheered him in the debates, and I even have an “Obama 2008″ shirt.
But, please, people. He is not a God, he is not perfect, and all of this messiah-light worker-humanity’s savior incarnate stuff is just plain freaky.
We’re in a rough spot these days. The economy is awful, injustice is rampant, and the left and right are tearing each other’s throats out. A lot of people are looking to the next president – whomever he may be – to get us out of a giant mess. I get it. But we’ve still got to recognize that our politicians are just that – politicians. We watch, we vote, and we can hope that they are acting with integrity. I do believe that voting is often more a game of “picking the lesser of the two evils” than picking someone we can truly believe in. I definitely feel less like that this year, but I’m not about to let go of common sense in evaluating our leaders.
Just a reality check. Thanks, and back to your regularly scheduled programming.
It is the circle of life, dear. They have to build him up so they can tear him down later.
Well, http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/ is not serious (at least not in presenting the stories with “belief” or “believing in” … as encouraged by Obama’s website with all the glows around his being … but Mark Mortford, writing that article for the San Francisco Chronicle, certainly was/is. Scary in so many ways. Axelrod has always “believed in” “faith” (as held by others, in the ‘right’ way).
I realize that, but thanks for clarifying for everyone!
