Obama Worship

[Revmitchell]

Perhaps the following will give you some insight into the adulation that some people hold O'bama and why he might have a god complex.

President Obama topped a new Harris interactive poll that asked 2,634 Americans who they admire enough to call a hero.

John Lennon once claimed the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Now President Obama has evidence that he's more popular than both.

Obama topped a new Harris interactive poll that asked 2,634 Americans who they admire enough to call a hero.

Jesus came in second on a list that includes God, Mahtma Gandhi and George Washington.

Other historic or notable figures making the top 10 were Martin Luther King Jr., Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, John McCain, John F. Kennedy, U.S. Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger and Mother Teresa.

Participants named the heroes randomly instead of being shown or read a list of people to choose from. The poll was conducted online between January 12 and 19, 2009.

At the 16th spot in the poll, George Washington, Bill Clinton and Colin Powell tied.

Other politicians who made the poll's top 25 include Hillary Clinton (12), FDR (13), Condoleezza Rice (12) and Sarah Palin (21).

God ranked 11th, between Mother Teresa and Hillary Clinton.

Of the multiple reasons participants gave to explain their choices of heroes, the ones most cited is, "Doing what's right regardless of personal consequences" with 89 percent, "Not giving up until the goal is accomplished" with 83 percent and "Doing more than what other people expect of them," with 82 percent. Also popular were "Overcoming adversity" and "Staying level-headed in a crisis."

In the first Harris Poll asking this question in 2001, Jesus came in first, followed by the Rev. King, Powell, John F. Kennedy and Mother Teresea.

Obama joked last year at a roast that contrary to rumors, he was not born in a manger but on the planet Krypton. Apparently, Obama is even more popular than Superman, who didn't make the cut.

I am not arguing the fact that some foolish people adore him to the point of adulation- but there is no evidence that he in any way has a god complex or considers himself a god.

I don't understand why you keep saying that the president has a god complex - you still have no evidence

BTW - I would not have listed Jesus as my hero.

Obama is incredibly arrogant as it is.

That, coupled with the power of the presidency, would make it a very short leap to a god complex.

Tell you what, kinda like the Koran oath thingy, as soon as he claims he is god I will apologise for my skepticism.

To the cry baby Republicans in this thread:

You are reaping what you sewed for the last eight years. You are the direct and immediate cause Obama was elected President.

You tolerated and turned a blind eye to a President and Congress that promised conservative principles and governed like a drunk liberal, ineptly at that. You did not hold their feet to the fire for eight years.

As a result, millions of conservatives stayed home three months ago. Does it enter your thick heads yet? Republican and conservative are not synonyms.

Start all the threads on Obama you please. It is your fault he is in the White House. Until you learn how to elect a conservative leader, you will be on the side lines forever.

I would say it was people like you who did not vote for McCain. He may have his shortcomings but he is far better than Barack O'bama.

Neither would I, Roger. I think it is blasphemous to do so. God is not some mere human, such as a successful athlete, to be adored.

He will never claim it, only act like it.

You may not have to wait long to apologize.

 

[JustChristian]

This freak came to mind when I read JustC post as well. Surely JustC is not in this category? Are you JustC?

The biased moderator deleted my reply. Are you among those who participated in an unjust war and murdered innocent peope? If so why?

So, OldRegular, you are a lesser of two evils voter?

That is surely a matter of opinion. :laugh:

I don't think that Obamaland, I think that Washington in general.. We have been led down a bad road for many years and until we kick their butts out, it will continue.

Agreed. We have all been led like lemmings into a political abyss by our 2 major party system.

And on that note, this thread is on page 10 and is closed.
