The Obama Kool-Aid

It is no secret that Obama is the media favorite, not just to win the presidency, but to save a ravaged US government from certain peril. All this fawning for the Obamessiah is getting to be a bitter pill to swallow. He does have rabid fans who don't necessarily care about his plan details, but rather the fact that he is promising the world. I seem to get this cult like following aspect to Obama and his supporters. More precisely, the Jim Jones type of following. Obama's supporters are not just simply passionate fools who will argue points, but they give him holy reverence and in many occasions compare him to God and Jesus. There is no doubt that Obama is charismatic and has a broad base appeal. For the most part, I really believe that if I met Obama, I would like him personally. I wouldn't be so star struck as to lose my convictions and just follow the piper. Obama does have a very unique story and his experiences would be great, as a role model, to many of the youth today. The only issue is that other than I practically disagree with him on everything. The danger that lies beneath the surface for the Republicans is how much of what Obama is saying is being absorbed by his faithful following and those 'undecided'. Having blind faith in man is not the way a person of intellect should react. Use your mind to search for the beliefs that you support and can espouse without hesitation, know what you believe and believe what you know. I just hope that Obama doesn't bring the 'special' kool-aid for his legions of fans to end it all and maybe hook up with the heavens gate crowd on some spaceship.
