Quote:An associate editor of the campus newspaper at Massachusetts' Smith College has joined the chorus attributing to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama messianic characteristics, but she has gone one step further, calling Obama her "Jesus."

"Obama is my homeboy. And I'm not saying that because he's black – I'm saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters T-shirts from a couple years ago that said, 'Jesus is my homeboy.' Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus," wrote Maggie Mertens in the Smithsophian's commentary section recently under the headline: "I Will Follow Him: Obama As My Personal Jesus."

This Obamania is going way too far. It's so bad that people are losing touch with reality. Can you imagine what they will do if he loses? Will they riot? Commit suicide? What? This is bordering on fanaticism - the type we've seen from Islamic extremeists.

do you go around looking for articles about the wackiest of people.

I wouldn't think so. Obama is all over the internet. Not too hard to find his wacky ass.

I call articles like this from the Smith College newspaper editor "O-gasms"....

Like all "O-gasms" all she does is spew all over herself about how Obama makes her feel great, and how happy she is, and all the "hope" and "change" he is going to bring.

And when questioned about what specifically Obama will do, these people just start spewing again. "Hope" "Change"

P.T Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every day. Too bad millions of suckers have bought into this empty suit and will be voting for him on November 4.

How do I say this without sounding racist... Well I guess I can't. If you lived in a country where your ancestors were brought over in slavery, opressed, and discriminated against and, 200+ years later, you had the first chance in the history of your country to vote for someone of your race. Would you not act the same way? I know I would. And I know it would be entirely baseless and superficial. But, I'd still do it.

Obama inspires alot of people, regardless of race, regardless of validity. But that isn't the point.

Stop feigning outrage over what you know is a by-product of a monumentally historic event. The first black presidential candidate in the history of the United States. Black people will overwhelmingly support and admire him. Welcome to reality.

And they aren't support Obama in any more numbers than Al Gore or John Kerry. Al won 90%, John 91%, Barack 91%

Why does everyone call him black? He is only half black at best. Plus who cares what color he is?

Do you blame Obama for people being stupid?
If so, why?

Somebody actually calls Obama Jesus. Others then talk about it on the web, radio and TV and it happens to land in my lap. Simple.

You don't think I do web searches on Obama, do you?

I don't blame Obama for people being stupid. I blame Obama because he knows they're stupid and he tells them whatever they want to hear, regardless of how true it is, knowing they'll believe him.

Ethical? No. A good political strategy? Certainly.

Since when has politics been ethical?
