What a well-written piece, Jordan, by far your best.

This article worried me because as soon as people look to others in this light, there is no turning back. The person they essentially worship controls them after that point and the people can no longer think for themselves.

Obama is charismatic (I fell victim to it as well). But the honeymoon was officially over for me when he went to Europe like he already won. How arrogant is that? I'm voting for McCain and unlike what the press wants you to believe, McCain and Bush actually differ on many topics. But they still have their relationship for unity sake.

I think many people are starting to see through his act. I have a Jewish friend who voted Democrat all the time said she's voting republican because of the speak to Israel Obama gave. People I work with in the army see Obama's plan for Iraq as a big mistake because they've been over there and seen it! And also, Iraq isn't a lots cause. Iraq has been growing and met all but three benchmarks, which Obama and the rest of the democratic party dismissed.

Obama doesn't have a clue on the real world but his charisma has canonized him and he is now the puppetmaster of about half of America.

Very. I'm not sure that his assumption was that he had won, but rather that he was in some real sense running for "President of the World." I also think that Obama confuses cheering crowds for meaningful diplomatic support, or hopes that his followers will make such a confusion.
