Obama Bless America
By J.J. Jackson
Wanted: Millions of adoring fans to follow presidential candidate to the
end of the Earth and do whatever he says. Must be willing to obey
without question and applaud at the drop of a hat. To apply contact the
Barack Obama Campaign.
In a nutshell that is what the Obama Campaign is asking for and, by all
indications, getting in terms of followers. And no, I’m not exaggerating.
Recently it has come to light that there seems to be a rash of people
fainting in the presence of Obama at his rallies. This is something that
often happens when people become so excited that they just can no longer
take it. Maybe this is nothing to get too concerned about on its own,
but when you couple this with many other bizarre occurrences? You get
the impression of being at a religious revival at some mega church
rather than a political event whenever Barack Obama is in the house.
When Barack Obama announced recently that he was going to simply blow
his nose, the crowd went wild. Why? Is it because he had never been able
to successfully do so before? Had all his previous attempts ended in
embarrassing miscues? Like him placing the handkerchief to various other
parts of his body only to result in mucus being blown all about? Were
they happy that he finally got it right?
No. They were just excited to be in the presence of Barack Obama and
will cheer at almost anything he says or does. Next week he will
probably announce that he has to take a potty break and the crowd will
go equally nuts over the announcement.
The only thing missing from the nose blowing incident was throngs of
adoring followers rushing the stage in order to claim his discarded snot
rag and wipe it on their face to bask in his glory. Perhaps even a claim
of miraculous healing that resulted from touching his bodily fluids
would have been a nice touch.
At these events you have people dangling perilously over railings and
crying out about their love for Barack Obama. You have people crushing
themselves upon barricades just to try and get close enough to touch him
or even get a whiff of his cologne.
I thought we were electing a President and not the next American Idol.
Heck, I wish it was only something akin to a silly television reality
show. It’s looking more and more like we are preparing to elect the next
messiah. Are messiah’s elected?
As the crowds of loyal followers continue to gather at his campaign
events we are left with a growing impression that Barack Obama is not so
much a man but a divine savior in the eyes of the masses. Or perhaps
more accurately he could be described as the anti-Christ when you
consider that his populist rhetoric breaks very important Commandments
of the Christian faith such as not coveting what others have and not
taking it from them without it being given to you. That’s ok though,
because you will just be asked to keep believing that government
confiscation under threat of force should you dissent is not really theft.
All this however is of minor concern for the crowds of adoring fans that
gather around Barack Obama wherever he goes. They just want to bask in
his glory. George Clooney, said of Obama that, “you want to follow him
somewhere, anywhere,” which makes you wonder if Barack Obama said, “Hey
George, jump off a bridge to prove your faith in me,” would he?
Halle Berry said the same thing. “I’ll do whatever he says to do,” She
said even throwing out something that she would do specifically. “I’ll
collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear,” Ms. Berry
gushed. Would she also place rose pedals on the ground so that his pure
feet may not touch the dirt?
I hope that there are some things that she will not do for Obama. But
then again she is from Hollywood. Do these Hollywood yummy brains ever
really think about what they are saying and how silly they sound.
The who thing is all so very eerie. You almost expect to some time soon
hear God Bless America rewritten as Obama Bless America and sung at
these congregations. Maybe something like this:
Obama Bless America
Man that we love!
Stand beside us, and guide us
To Paradise with your light from above!
With Free Health Care,
And change for change sake,
Tax the vile rich,
And heal our souls!
Obama Bless America
He’ll bring us hope!
Obama Bless America
Our sa-av-iour!
Sometimes I really, really, really wish I was making this sort of stuff up.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
