The more I read about Barack Obama's campaign, the more, well,
creepy it seems...
For all the talk that the left likes to engage in about how conservative Christians are trying to impose a theocracy and how fearful they are of such a (ridiculously remote) possibility, once they figure out that they need religious voters to take them seriously in order to win elections they go and nominate a candidate who appears to think that he's Jesus Christ.
More: a downright creepy op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal today:
But this collective cathexis that created Obamamania is obviously a deep desire for authenticity, and he is the natural repository of our hidden hopes.
Mr. Obama is what the future looks like: a biracial child of divorce, schlepped halfway around the world by a conscientious but confounded single mother, abandoned by a wayward but winning Kenyan father, international but somehow still all-American, a party-hardy Harvard Law graduate. That is, an ordinary extraordinary guy, the dreamiest of all our dreams. If only every kid from a broken home could turn out to be such a fine gentleman! How can we not love him? With a million other things he could be doing, Mr. Obama actually wants to lead us. Us? What did we do to deserve him?
Goodness! And this from the
author of
Prozac Nation, who seems to need Lithium more than an antidepressant...
