The Cult Of Obamamania
February 20, 2008 by Joecephus
I’m only thirty years old, so the list of things that I have witnessed throughout my “adult life” is not nearly as long as the lists of others. But I have to say, never have I seen a candidate who possesses the abilities of Barack Obama to stir up such great feelings of pride and emotion in those who support him, to make the hearts of young girls swoon and to actually make people pass out from the feelings that develop while in his presence — all while having absolutely nothing of substance to say.
It is as if the man is a blank canvas whose empty rhetoric is colored with invisible paint visible only to those who apply it allowing him to be something different to everyone, while being nothing at all at the same time. He is truly, like the words of the song by the band Living Color, a ’Cult Of Personality.’
the Cult of Personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you wanna be ohhh…
I’m the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I’m the Cult of Personality
the Cult of Personality
the Cult of Personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face of your T.V. ohh…
I’m the Cult of Personality
I exploit you; still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three ohh…
I’m the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi ohh…
I’m the Cult of Personality
the Cult of Personality
the Cult of Personality
For the life of me I do not know how anybody with even half of a brain could walk away from listening to the words of Barrack Obama without feeling as if they have just had a few of their brain cells destroyed. The American political process has been reduced to American Idol, and now we have Sanjaya as the leading candidate in the Democratic party.
When his supporters are asked to name one accomplishment of Barrack Obama, they can’t.
When given a second opportunity to do it, still they can’t.
This phenomena of being unable to name anything that Senator Obama has actually done is not just amongst focus groups, even representatives of his campaign are unable to do so when asked.
I’m sorry but if you are a supporter of Barack Obama, chances are — you’re a complete and total idiot.

I haven’t been able to get into your blog for the past 3 days and right now I still can’t get into the comments section of your African-American riff below. It made my head spin and just proves what nonsense the whole hyphenated America stuff is.
Patrick Joubert Conlon’s last blog post..Is Obama a red diaper baby?
Joe, you’re probably gonna disown me as an acquaintance after you read this – but I’m probably gonna vote for Obama. I agree with every word you said about him. But the same could be said about Hillary Clinton, too… her one attempted political contribution, that Childrens Health Care thing under Bill’s administration, got her laughed back into the kitchen, literally. She went from trying to write policy to sharing cookie recipes on talk shows. And despite the fact that I consider him a hero, John McCain is basically as liberal as Obama, but much less inept.
My hope is that Obama’s election will signal to the GOP and the older Democrats that they’ve lost touch with America and that they shouldn’t be so reluctant to stir the pot… and then they’ll run a candidate who’ll give Obama the same treatment that Ronald “The Main Man” Regan gave Jimmuh Cahtuh in ‘80.
As an unrelated note, go read the CAL Collective.
