Stephen Webb has a fantastic post about the "Cult" of Obama:
quote:
Obama promises to solve the problem of politics. People attracted to his campaign think that he can transcend the ordinary negotiations and conflicts of the political realm just by the force of his powerful optimism. If the political itself is the problem, and not the various social problems that must be negotiated within the political arena, then Obama himself is the answer...
Meanwhile, an ISI's staff member's mother (Mrs. K) was at the gym this morning, talking with a little old lady. They were watching the morning news, when Obama came on the screen. The lady turned toward Mrs. K. and said: "Everytime I see him I think of Revelation."
