I’m surrounded by The Lamb of Chicago followers at work. It annoying and creepy. They utterly will not listen or accept any criticism of the Holy One of Cook County. Its gonna be a “fun” 4 years.

Here’s what I posted on our state board 2 weeks ago (10/12). It sounds just like who you deal with at work. Luckily for me it was a 1-time occurrence:
On my travels this week I was approached by an elderly couple in Gallup. They were driving to Las Vegas to go to their “winter home” as it’s already too cold in Illinois for them.
They wanted to know why I had McCain/Palin plastered on the back of my Escape. They proceeded to tell me they were voting for the big 0 because he would “change things”. I said what do you need changed? Obviously you’ve done well if you have a 2nd home. I was told he’d get us out of this war, make it so we don’t need gasoline any more, make all our energy “green”, help all the poor people and on and on. I said our country cannot afford this man & if you want your kids & grandkids to be able to afford a 2nd home and vacations that last all winter you’d better not vote for him.
They told me they’d pray that God would open my eyes to the “truth” of the man he sent to “save us”. I guess in these people’s eyes he was akin to Jesus.

“Tomorrow is gonna be different from anything in the past.
Tomorrow is gonna be a start of a new and better world for
all of us. In the past, we’ve had a pretty bad time.
We’ve had wars, famine, and pestilence. We’ve had depressions,
and nobody seems to know what causes them. People have starved
when there was food, They have died of diseases when there
was cures for them. We’ve seen the water and the air,
and everything else get polluted, and we’ve seen so much
hatred. Well, beginning tomorrow, all of that’s gonna be changed.
There won’t be any more wars. We’re gonna live side by side
like brothers. We’re gonna forget about killing, and breaking,
and bombs. And all over the world, there’s gonna be a kind of
garden growing, and nobody’ll be afraid anymore.
For the first time, since human beings have lived on this earth,
we’re gonna live the way human beings should. Tomorrow is gonna be
the beginning of all that. That’s all for now. Goodbye and goodnight.”
I've tried engaging Obamanites of my aquaintance. No matter how gentley I approach them, with self-deprecating humor, disclaimers and concessions galore, they are unwilling and unable to deal with the slightest criticism of any of their demi-god's policies. They all immediately get emotionally hot when they realize I am asking them to think, no matter how low key my approach.
Sometime I wonder if any of my Obama following friends have ever taken even ten minutes to consider the other side to his arguments.
As Mr Levin points out, it is a kind of mass hysteria, and it's troubling.
