Obama problem

He isn't the problem as much as the American media and pop-culture all out adoration of him is. It's a clear formula: When the Kennedys, mass media, Al Gore, Hollywood, and France all worship the same man- some sort of red flag should go up. Aristotle said long ago that it is human nature to need to worship, and it can also be said that group worship is innate; but he was hoping we'd save that for diety. Our spite and reverence are too easily bought. Lets go about this Obama thing with our heads on. Go to church if you want something sacred.

What's here




The heavy boughs, the burnished dove
That moans and sighs a hundred days:
How when we die our shades will rove,
When eve has hushed the feathered ways-

WB Yeats
