"I Will Follow Him": Obama As My Personal Jesus
Smith College Sophian (via NRO Campaign Spot) ^ | September 18, 2008 | Maggie Mertens

Posted on 10/01/2008 8:40:00 AM PDT by greyfoxx39

My interest was piqued, but the dark time lived on until my faith in others was renewed on Jan. 4 in the Iowa state primary. Obama had beat out squeaky clean southern boy John Edwards and former first lady and next in the line of political succession Hillary Clinton. I was in shock. And then I came to Jesus/Obama.

I donated to the campaign. I followed every primary with bated breath, and muttered my prayers to the political gods while proselytizing the miracle of my new prophet. I got a car magnet, I bought a t-shirt; a pin and bumper sticker are on their way to my campus mailbox. Then the media and right wing questioning began: what is he? A rock star, or the next president? Bono or Britney? The naysayers used his popularity among young people against him. Who had ever heard of political posters in college dorm rooms? Bumper stickers on the back of your high school neighbor's Jetta? Guess what those "Jesus is my homeboy" t-shirts were replaced with at Urban Outfitters? A smiling Obama under his own cutesy sayings like "Obama for yo Mama."

I must admit, I questioned this myself. After all, would I have ever bought a t-shirt with Al Gore's face on it? Was this all he was, the newest pop culture fad? I questioned my newfound faith - was it all only a phase, like the time I thought I was Baptist in junior high? But my inner dogmatic struggle only helped cement my beliefs as I followed politics more closely than ever before. Obama's mere presence, knowledge and enthusiasm in the political realm inspired my own desire to understand what exactly had gone wrong, what exactly he could do to remedy the mess we'd made.

Then I began to realize I wasn't the only one trying to buy a WWOD bracelet and spending my weekends scouring CNN.com. The rock star-type love for Obama wasn't just because he was pretty and in the media. Others too, had seen him as a shining light, heard that mythical voice boom out over the mountaintops; people were wearing the t-shirt because they would rather wear something representing a politician than a pop star. People everywhere, young and old, were caring again. So what's the problem here?

I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.

He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand,
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land,
And the world was his harlot and lay in the sand,
While the band played six sixty six.

National Review is doing yoeman's work on Obama today...they posted a link to This Article by Ken Timmerman regarding the flood of foreign money into Obama's campaign and the lengths they have gone to in order to disguise it.

"More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose.

And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate."

"Walking to the temple with gold in his hand"..Lord save us!

I am shaking and crying reading this....what happened to our Nation? This is what happens when you watch your children bring home backbacks full of Socialist Propaganda, in the name of Environmental friendlyness and you say nothing! This is what happens when Gays and Lesbians teach your children sex education and you are banned from teaching abstinence and you do nothing! This is what happens when your Guns are threatened to be taken away and your right to defend yourself is too! And you do nothing!!! This is what happens when you and your family cant pray at a football game, because it is religion and foot washing basins are available for Muslim prayer and you do nothing!!!
This is what happens when Christmas is taken from the American language, Marriage is redifined, Homosexuality is shown on TV...and we all sit by and do NOTHING!!!!!!

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO DO SOMETHING!!!!

ARE BIBLES ARE GONE, OUR FLAG IS GONE, OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM IS GONE, OUR STARS AND STRIPES ARE NOW BLUE AND WHITE, YOUR CHILDREN SING TO THEIR LEADER AND NOT TO THE COUNTRY YOUR SONS,DAUGHTER AND PARENTS HAVE DIED FOR ARE GONE...

“There’s nothing wrong with what the author said ...” = “There’s nothing wrong with the expression — everything else the author said is either brilliant satire; or very, very, very wrong.”

The comments on the article are dubious as to whether this is satire. Sad that there is a question about that, isn't it?

Yes it is. It really makes me wonder what in h-ll is wrong with people who fall for his bs. Shaking my head.

Texas4ever:

I agree with you 100%!

I sent the article about the 0bama "truth squads" (that were reported on earlier this week) to a number of people in my address book. One of them is a pastor. He went off - not about the article though - he went off on me! He said that if 0bama is elected our 1st amendment rights aren't in jeopardy. He says our 2nd amendment rights aren't in jeopardy.

I don't understand what this man is thinking. As a Christian who follows the Word of God, how can he defend 0bama is beyond me.

We need to pray for this country and pray hard folks. It's clutch time.

I’ll start paying attention when just one BO follower does some ‘clearing up’ things:

Publishes his transcripts for us to review his grades and final degrees;

Tells me what BO has done for his country (all of us) as a senator in the past two years;

and,

Shows us a copy his real birth certificate under his real name.

Shouldn’t be so hard for such a holy man right?

That's why I posted the link to the original post in the Smith College paper.

We are in the midst of a raging spiritual war. I don't think the article is satire in the sense of trying to awaken people to the absurdity.

The democrat party has been empowering their political capital for decades through their protection and promotion of an abortion holocaust. Selling their collective souls wholesale to evil leaves a void that an antichrist style worship of the secular pours into, and this phenomenon of Barack'ACORN'Obama is just the sort of fantasy man worship the demonic uses for same.

You want some syrupy satire, you got it:
Americans, face-it, you sanctimonious freepin White power elites, you owe REPARATIONS$$$ to Barack’s people, so shut up and vote!

I have seen the light shining upon Barack, and it’s so real! You stubborn biggoted holdouts, YES, YOU CAN see it too and , Support Barack, & here’s a 100% TRUE Testimony*******************************

Millions of nonracist people adore Barack and have come to get in your face and ROCK your VOTE 2008, until you get it and give it up.

I just sold my home, remains of the stock portfolio, and the precious possessions and donated the proceeds to the Obama campaign. (They refused to take any of the kids or the dogs though, and I’m still trying to figure that one out.) It is the most patriotic thing to do to change all that’s wrong in America. Give to the Baracks-Government, it feels sssooo good., just like Mr. Bidens said it would. YES WE CAN! And it will ease your burdens and give you peace of mind.

I am now 90% guilt-free of the fact that 150 years ago, the USA had slavery. I can proudly stand up with Barack and yell,” I am not an
EVIL WhiteDEVILRacist,..........because I am voting for the “ONE” that we have all been waiting for!” We have finally Overcome Slavery in 2008, at last, and changed the bad, bad country of America. YES, WE CAN!

Due to Barack’s perfect stae of nearEbony, he can promise a honky like me a job (and pay me if I don’t work), YES, We Can! However, I truly want a job so I can be a more patriotic White-Cracker and start paying higher taxes. This’ll help to pay off what I owe for REPARATIONS since by family immigrated in the 1930s. Anyway, reparations will erase the remaining 10% of my guilt and make me a bonified ‘citizen of the global world’, just like Barack! YES, WE CAN!

Another reason to vote for the One: Barack will cure my bad syphllitic leg through his Universal Healthcare plan. He will make all my cousins and their cousins- cousins legal citizens so they can have free medicine and vote, too (they are entitled.). YES, WE CAN!

Barack has given me Hope, Change, and more Hope. And I Hope you feel the same way as I do about the Change to a handsome man of color. (He is even more handsome than our
~very Famous Mayor of the ‘Chocolate City,’~ Ray Nagen.
Plus, he was a community organizer for the presigious ACORN organization. Barack might have organized some of the people onto all the empty school busses instead of leaving them down here to drown. So there you have it, Barack’s more handsome than our Great Mayor, a better ACORN organizer, and therefore deserves to be President.) YES, HE CAN!

Whether you are born white(shamefully), or Indian, Asian, Hispanic, or anything non-Black, you should be embarassed to have been born a racist-American. So, you must stand at the next local Barack rally and wave a fist (men only) or jump up and down while wiping a teary-eyed face (women only) while chanting:

Vote Black, Vote Barack!...Vote Black, Vote Barack!....

{Note: HeadScarf-Alert: The above doesn’t apply to the blessed followers of Mohammed. Muslims, we welcome your financial support from here and abroad. But please stay away from our rallies and out of the media until our One ascends to Rule America. (Rewards will flow to you later)}

{Patriot Alert: if you come to our rallies, leave your American flag pin at home.} Citizens of the world have pledged not to offend anyone with symbols of Yankee Imperialism and American Hegemony. ( Plus: Free admission with every 10 signed absentee ballots) YES WE CAN!..YES WE CAN! and YES,.... HE, THE ONE, WILL RULE YOU!
