Everywhere I go on the blogosphere and news websites there is discussion of Obamania. It strikes me forcibly that lefties are completely desperate for a magical, messianic figure, a superman, a giant daddy, a god. Obama is a decent human being, and very moderate(ly talented) politician. He has been elevated by his own supporters far far beyond those modest gifts. I suspect that with the rejection of Christianity by the left, the need for a saviour has been replaced by the covert desire for a dictator, albeit benign. There is a real smell in the ludicrously overwrought emotionalism from the Obamaniacs of Cult of Personality. Although not enormously different from the normal boosterism inherent in a run for President, it comes from a different fount.
I think that outside the growing cult, this smell will put people off.
