Will he raise his friend Rev. Wright from the dead? So it goes with America’s "saviour"–, the new messiah that is Barack Obama. "Oh, stop it, Doug. That’s enough with the whole ‘Obama as a religion’ meme." But really, what else am I supposed to think? Why, even the Boston Globe, a la John the Baptist, is proclaiming the coming of Obama. Consider the headline and opening paragraph in today’s paper:
Hope aside, he faces nation’s original sin
PHILADELPHIA – After a year of speaking of racial reconciliation in mostly hopeful, uplifting terms, Barack Obama yesterday offered a fuller, deeper, and more personal testament to the nation’s tormented racial history and how to begin to overcome it.
The gospel according to a gushing Globe reporter continues as it all but identifies Obama’s big speech as some new "Sermon on the Mount":
This wasn’t the gauzy vision of diversity draped in tapestry metaphors and colored in rainbow hues: It was a nation confronting its sins and overcoming its deeply held fears and prejudices.
"A nation confronting its sins." Can you believe this?
"We have a choice in this country. . .," Obama said. "We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy. . . . We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day, and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card. . . . Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, ‘Not this time.’ "
Thus it was revealed: After a period of time spent wandering in the desert before the convention, followed by betrayal and intrigue, finally, after the third round of balloting, he rose again, in fulfillment of (the Globe’s) scripture. Yikes!
