Obama in the highest

I am having a hard time figuring out why they pulled the Chia Obama off the shelves. Fortunately, it is still available online. I mean, we have Obama everything else. Just days after the coronation of The ONE, Obama plates, coins, stamps and just about everything else was being offered from outlets as diverse as QVC to the local street corner. I am pretty sure those street corner guys weren't spreading their wealth as Obama requested we do.

It was ridiculous enough having the President's mug plastered over everything in site; including mugs. The Rock Star in Chief did little to dissuade crowds from behaving like teenagers at a Jonas Brothers concert. From New York to Minnesota , New Jersey and even an attempt in Colorado, schools are already being named for the First African American President of the United States. You can eat at the Obama restaurant and provided the country's women leave him alone long enough to pose for it, most likely Mount Rushmore is soon to be updated.

The homages to The ONE extend beyond the porous borders of our own country. In Israel he is "honored" with Obama Huts and Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has renamed a nearly sacred stretch of beach in France after him!

Now lest you think this is just a bit of right wing nut job hyperbole aimed at dissing the Savior In Chief, the media has now taken to calling him God-like.



I would have thought by now the allure of image over substance would have begun to wear thin. As we continue our march to the left side of the political and economic spectrum, as Europe retrenches to the right, the mindless followers of a modern day messiah are not those listeners to a formerly chubby, cigar smoking AM talk radio behemoth, they are those on the left gazing with glossed over eyes at the second coming.
