Just a Humble Public Servant

As the Great Man triumphantly tours Europe...



I'm reminded to lookin in on the Obamamessiah blog. They have been doing yeoman work compiling all the deranged messianic tributes to this god for the godless. I continue to be astonished at the towering humility of the Lightworker and his disciples.

Here's just some of the press the Son of the Living God is getting (and is in no hurry to discourage):

Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.

No, it's not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve.

Here's another choice one:

"Also, we just like to say his name. We are considering taking it as a mantra"

They serenaded the Hyde Park Democrat with chants of "O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!" Obama drew such a passionate outpouring from the crowd that even he and his aides were overwhelmed. "At one point, I thought Barack was going to rise up over the people and start saying, 'My children, my children, I have come to free you,' joked his driver and bodyguard, Mike Signator. "It was just incredible."

At least he was joking.

The loopiness and hubris continues:

He's a Christian, but that doesn't mean he can't seek the blessing of pagan gods. The whole first commandment thing is so passe. This Son of God offers the Rainbow of Affirmation to all the gods of the nations. Cuz, you know, that's what being President is all about.

Speaking of the nations, some see in him, not only the Messiah, but the Mahatma and the President of All the World:

... followers willing to wait for hours on end to hear him speak have been crowding out huge concert halls and sports arenas to get a glimpse of their new progressive avatar and drive long distances to obtain the Obama darshan or to simply be in his presence. One can just imagine what the peace and flower-power concerts in the 60's might have been like. Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama. Clearly, people are hungry for a change and want an inspirational leader who can serve up some hearty 'chicken soup for the soul'. ...

Like the Mahatma [Gandhi], Obama is becoming a global symbol of the 'hopes and dreams' of millions around the world. Those who look up to the American ideals, consume American media, and dream American dreams are tuned into this historic election. While Gandhi marked the end of the colonial era, Obama with his multicultural background and upbringing represents the age of globalization. Obama is in an unprecedented historical position to not only be the first African American president, but the first 'global president' of America. Obama's images on T-shirts, magazine covers, and TV screens around the world may be a harbinger of the next American century, if the American people are willing and able to lead it.

Makes sense, since he combines in his person, not simply the Messiah of Jerusalem, but the Human Wisdom of Athens:

Barack Obama is the Platonic philosopher king we’ve been looking for for the past 2,400 years.

**Caution: there is some reason to suspect Tillman is a mocking unbeliever. If so, his kind will be cast into outer darkness, where their worm does not die and their fire is not quenched.
Film director Spike Lee, on the other hand, truly believes:

Lee predicted Obama would be elected in November.

"When that happens, it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time
by `Before Obama' and `After Obama,'" Lee said during the panel. "It's an
exciting time to be alive now." ...

"Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe," he
said.

And it came to pass that Elle Associate Editor Samantha Fennell had a Life-Changing Encounter with the Son of God. He said, "Come, follow me" and she left everything and became his disciple.

And don't forget the images:


The Lord God is a Sun and a Shield



This is my Beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.



O Sacred Head



The Transfiguration



Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess.

This talk of “Obama = AntiChrist” was getting on my nerves.

Until all this crap happened recently, I’m beggining to think the Bibble-thumpers might be onto something...

I hear they are calling it "O-Force One"...

More like "O-Farce One".

She’s getting her makeover so we can believe she is either a changed person or this will be the real her.

More like "O-Farce One".

Very close ... just need to change the "ce" to a "t" ;-)

[subterfuge]

MO is hard to hide. They must have her where they put Billy Carter all those years ago.

Here is the REAL person we need to be moving toward. Second reading for Sunday, August 3rd.

Reading II
Rom 8:35, 37-39

Brothers and sisters:
What will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor present things, nor future things,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
