February 12, 200917 yr It certainly indicates that a significant swath of our society is willing to follow a charismatic leader.
February 12, 200917 yr Whether it is a cult, a religion, or hypotism of the dullards, it is certainly seen by many looking for handouts (ie: the conveniently placed Mrs. or Miss Hughes) as a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The problem to me is that the rest of us are providing the gold with nothing whatsoever in return.
February 12, 200917 yr Oh, good grief! Was that aimed at the Thread itself, or the YouTube video containing Obama supporters?
February 12, 200917 yr Ohhh... you'll be getting something in return... :lol: He does show distinct signs of being quite carpathian, doesn't he?
February 12, 200917 yr Author He does show distinct signs of being quite carpathian, doesn't he? Machiavellian too.
February 12, 200917 yr No, but to keep preaching all of the failed conservative ideas like deregulation and more tax breaks for the wealthy just may be.
February 12, 200917 yr It sure seems like it, but I could have said the same thing about a number of the Bush supporters during the first couple years (until they figured out what a dolt he is). Some still worship at the altar of Dubya. As I told a buddy of mine who couldn't understand why I wasn't as vehement an Obama supporter as he: "I don't like the guy; I'm just not sure about him. However, the bar's set pretty low, so he doesn't have to do much to be better than his predecessor."

If anything goes wrong during his administration, it will be blamed on the Bush Administration or on obstructionist conservatives. Since the media is, with few exceptions, worshipping at his alter, nothing negative concerning him will be reported (Need an example? Look at the past campaign and consider just exactly what we really know about him?). Finally, those who oppose him will, as was the case during the campaign, be branded as racists. There is no bar for the socialist messiah.
