Barack Oabma Is A Tony Blair With A Halo

THE Book of Oabma. It;s Obamaphilia. Obama is a cult. Obama is a children’s TV show. Obama is a religion. Obama has a halo.

In the LA Times, Joel Srein delivers the latest chapter in the Book of Obama:

Obamaphilia has gotten creepy. I couldn’t figure out if the two canvassers who came to my door Sunday had taken Ecstasy or were just fantasizing about an Obama presidency, but I feared they were going to hug me…

What the Cult of Obama doesn’t realize is that he’s a politician. Not a brave one taking risky positions like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich, but a mainstream one. He has not been firing up the Senate with stirring Cross-of-Gold-type speeches to end the war. He’s a politician so soft and safe, Oprah likes him. There’s talk about his charisma and good looks, but I know a nerd when I see one. The dude is Urkel with a better tailor.

All of this is clear to me, and yet I have fallen victim.

Obama is the vicar. Obama is Tony Blair…
