When he was talking about hope, it actually almost made me cry.
Socialist hope makes me cry also....

2008 of the “Common Era”? Give me a break!
This is the year of the Lord 2008, aka 2008 A.D. The Lord who is coming soon to judge both the quick and the dead. “Common Era” fanatics are gonna have some ‘splainin’ to do on that day!
Sorry, but this “Common Era” garbage just infuriates me every time.
People may think I am nuts, but I keep telling them there is something wrong with this guy. Something is off, call it the cult of Obama if you will, but it is sickening.
"For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me?"
“Hope has no power. It is just postponed disappointment.”
“If you believe in nothing, you will fall for anything.”
Because he's black. There are millions of people, most on the left, but many in the middle and even some on the right, who think that by electing a black man president, we will finally close the racial divide in this country. (I believe that point of view is mistaken.)
If Obama was white with a "white" name, the money men for whom he's fronting would never have paid attention to him. It's unlikely he would have been elected to the senate, let alone be where he is today. That's the stone cold truth, whether or not the punditocracy, reportocracy, and Dem voters want to admit it.
I’m not sure I care for this line of thinking.
Everyone accused GW of using religious, born-again over-tones in the election, with the wars, etc. They also suggested that GW had biblical illusions of grandour regarding his personal role in fighting evil, etc.
Sen Obama uses empty, political retoric in a very smart way. I don’t see a deep conspiracy here, as much as smart politics, at least so far. This could easily come back on him as his real positions become known. I only hope our side can bring this to the fore, to the point that the press can no longer ignore it.
Somewhere between rock star and some evangelical guru is what people want.
America looks too much for religion, entertainment and celebrity, even spiritual uplifting in her politicans.
I view the whole Obama phenomenon as “searching for love in all the wrong places”.
Politicians are far better suited to being looked upon as rather more base and normal; good for getting practical things done - roads, schools, wars, actual measurable benefits for the common weal(yes, an ideal) rather than, say, steroids in baseball or in the case of Obama, the transposition onto one individual of wholesale, indiscriminate adoration more like the reverence and devotion heaped upon some maharishi guru type than to the exercise of power, the latter inevitably leading to a widespread disillusionment as the prerogatives of reality intrude upon skyhigh aspirations and outlandish hopes, widespread and all encompassing without being clearly defined.
All been done before...
And apparently, Barack Obama is the new messiah.
Kathleen Parker is a brilliant writer.
If only the world still cherished good thinkers.
