Barack Obama: Self-Appointed Messiah.
July 8, 2008
Barack Obama supporters are starting to creep me out in a serious way. You know the ones; chanting his name, crying during his speeches, fainting during his speeches, screaming “I love you!” as he
passes.
Jesse Jackson, Jr. had this to say about Obama’s Nomination clinch:
“I cried all night. I’m going to be crying for the next four years,” he said. “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. … The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.” (italics mine)
Michael Morse, a teen columnist for TeenLink, a newspaper aimed at young people in South Florida, went to an Obama rally and shared his experience:
The crowd immediately ceased the roar when Obama approached the mic, eager to hear whatever the man has to say… I can’t believe the man whose speeches I watch on YouTube everyday is so close to me. His speeches give an aura of immortality that belies the fact that he’s a living breathing human.
Its very upsetting to hear this kind of thing from someone my age; it bears a frightening similarity to Hitler’s level of popularity in Nazi Germany, where he was elevated to a sort of demi-god status. This is especially concerning, considering Obama’s support for compulsory national service for American high-school, middle-school and college-age students, which is (if you accept my earlier analogy) more than a little similar the imfamous Hitler Youth, Hitler’s version of compulsory national service.
Obama’s supporters seem to have forgotten that Barack Obama is just a man– and less than a man, hes just a politician. Worse still, he isn’t even a good politician. Its been said over and over again, but Obama is all fluff and no substance. One struggles to find anything material on his webpage, aside from one, large PDF ominously titled, “THE BLUEPRINT FOR CHANGE” (caps his, not mine).
Time columnist Joe Klein knows what I’m talking about:
Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is.
Have you seen Obama’s website? Its creepy! On the main part of the site there’s a Kids for Obama page, where kids are given 10 ways in which they can get involved, encouraging children to host Obama-themed sleepovers and parties, to get a pen pal to talk to about Obama, among other things. If you sign up, you can set up your own little facebook right there on his homepage, give all your information, and join other Obamunists to celebrate his birthday, hold Obama-themed spa parties, book clubs, and any other kind of get-together you could think of– all in Obama’s holy name.
Worst of all, though, is Camp Obama, a four day training camp paid for by the Obama campaign, which teaches Obama supporters to learn more about how Barack Obama is a great and wise leader.
Hitler and Barack Obama have too much in common for me to not feel uneasy going into election season. Gun control, socialized healthcare, compulsory national service, an anti-market economic position, all on top of a creepy, cult-like leader worship by supporters. Thats five too many similarities.

1. The analogy doesn’t hold up. Hitler rose to power through an elite which handed him an election (Obama’s movement is more populist) during extremely tumultuous times in Germany. Hitler was a great orator but was a desperation candidate. The Democrats chose Obama over a legitimate candidate in Hillary Clinton.
2. Obama’s aspirations are not nearly as intense as Hitler’s. Huge tax hikes, universal health care, and a more isolationist foreign policy does not represent a revolution. Domestic activity in the United States of Obama will not alarm any other countries, Israel notwithstanding.
3. Obama will not exterminate 6 million innocents. As someone who has family members who fled the Holocaust, this comparison ranges from ignorant to insulting.
4. Comparing a political candidate to the embodyment of evil degrades our cause. To bring Obama down to Hitler’s level, or vice-versa, insults both of them. Any 6 year old can compare Obama to Hitler. But how many can truly analyze Obama’s politics and call him a McGovern or an LBJ?

“I often think that he’s the only one of us who’s achieved immortality. I don’t mean in the sense of fame and I don’t mean that he won’t die some day. But he’s living it. I think he is what the conception really means. You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. When you meet them, they’re not what you met last. In any given hour, they kill some part of themselves. They change, they deny, they contradict—and they call it growth. At the end there’s nothing left, nothing unreversed or unbetrayed; as if there had never been an entity, only a succession of adjectives fading in and out on an unformed mass. How do they expect a permanence which they have never held for a single moment? But Howard—one can imagine him existing forever.”

“7 years ago, a guy named Barack Hussein Obama would have been dragged and beaten for having the arrogance to run for president.” The “arrogance” to run! You are speaking out of your ass. You are nothing more than an ignorant little redneck running your mouth.

I’m disgusted there are Americans like you.
If you are to compare Obama. Please do not compare him to a mass murderer. It makes me sick to my stomach.

This was one of the most racist elections in history if you check the exit polls (maybe not as much racism amongst many whites as there once was – though some are racist against themselves now the way society has gone plus you still have some of those racist hicks, but all in all, I’d argue that racism is higher in percentage terms amongst non-whites). Honestly, I don’t think there have ever been so many tears on election night, ever. I get the history aspect and how it has shown doors are now open to all regardless of color, as actual proof, not just in concept. To get past racism, we must judge men by their deeds, not just their words, regardless of skin color. I’d vote for the best man, period, and I didn’t like McCain or Obama based on what they would do… Spend, spend, spend. Save us, Mr. President, save us! LMFAO. More bail-outs. More spending. None of that works well when we don’t have the money to begin with.
He might be good or he might be bad as a President, we don’t know yet, because he hasn’t done anything or even become President yet. Why not wait before you lavish so much praise on him? It’s sickening. I wonder, does Democracy work well when the population is sheepish and all to easily lead in any direction by speeches that evoke feelings and emotion?
Obama’s advisers are largely from Clinton’s administration or from the banking industry (like the Federal Reserve, Freddie Mac, Goldman Sachs, etc). Also, Obama was VERY quick to be in favour of the Wall Street Bail-Out. So I must ask, where is the dramatic change in the way government is run? Ron Paul would have enacted massive change – too bad he wasn’t black, and I mean that with all sincerity, because I think he would have had a better chance at having his message heard in the media.
Any man with this much power and sway over people is dangerous. Judge the man by his deeds. Honestly, study it from afar, and you come to realize this is how men like Hitler did gain power. I don’t think Obama is the anti-christ or inherently bad, but now I truly understand how such men do gain power in a Democracy.
I’ve even said the way he blames the rich for all of societies problems is class warfare… If I remember correctly, Hitler blamed a certain group of rich businessmen…

Hitler also had teeth! Kill Obama!
It never gets old.
