"Is Obama an enlightened being?" NO!

*Sticks fingers in ears* I can't hear you la la la la la la la la crazy idiots la la la.

Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.

This is what I find myself offering up more and more in response to the whiners and the frowners and to those with broken or sadly dysfunctional karmic antennae - or no antennae at all - to all those who just don't understand and maybe even actively recoil against all this chatter about Obama's aura and feel and MLK/JFK-like vibe.

Seriously, STOP DOING STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS. Yes, you have a major hard-on for Obama. We get it. He's all about "change". We get that. But: 1) writing crap like this just gives your opponents some grade-A ammo against you and 2) Obama is a goddamn politician, just like any other politician. He's making lots of promises that sound great during the campaign, but he's slowly moving away from them in order to pull in the center. In the end he's going to be - guess what? - just like any other damn politician. Our economy will still be crap for a long while, we'll still be bogged down in two idiotic wars. He will pander and take dirty money and tell lies, because that's what politicians do. "Enlightened being"? Convincing public speaker, more like. Stop doing this.
