A messiah he is not

Now I really am not intending to turn this into a Obama-hatin blog. ...no, really.
What I want to do is call attention to a lot of these issues Obama stands for that I feel have gotten swept under the rug.
Is it really just because he's black that he was rushed to the front of the celebrity hoop-la? His socialist and very liberal views surely can't agree with 80% of Americans.
Now keep in mind, I am currently temporarily stuck in the Chicago area, of which they have at least 3 stories about Obama on each newscast. It makes me want to barf. I don't care how Michelle does her hair or who is making decorations for the "obama bus" to Washington DC for the inauguration.
His campaign p.u.s.h. (pardon the pun) was "hope" ... well I'm not feeling very hopeful.
I disagree with many of his views: his lack of urgency to fight the terrorism, his willingness to allow any abortion possible, his lack of experience(!), his ease of flip-flopping. Talking out of both sides of his mouth, just to have the support of anyone. And then there are his known relations that he tried to deny and sweep under the rug as if it's not a big deal to been in close proximity & work with William Ayers, known terrorist. Michelle's college thesis sure said a lot of how 'patriotic' she is [not].

It's a lot of hype, and I don't buy into it. I have a lot of reservations about this one. Lets all just watch and see. He can't even pick someone suitable for the positions a president-elect chooses.

and oh my word, I can't believe this blog is for real. Someone truly thinks he is the messiah. What is our world coming to?!?! All I can say right now is this has already gone WAY too far. (that pic is from the site)
the following is a quote from this obscene webpage, and it's not a joke. (they walk among us) Obama could do the most horrendous thing and she would still devote her life to him. THIS IS CULTIC. (and just plain stupid)

I have thrown myself into a new world—one in which fluffy chatter and frivolous praise are replaced by a get-to-the-point directness and disciple-like devotion. It’s intense and intoxicating. ...

... I have to confess I felt a certain shame that the dress I wore—a bright-red Prada number from next season that my former boss, Carol, insisted I buy the day before—cost more than the $1,000 ticket to the event itself. ... How this paid off I’ll share in a moment. ...
I was on my feet as Senator Obama entered the room. Fate had blessed me in this moment, as I realized that the aisle that was keeping me from my seat was created for him and his secret service escort to make their way to the stage. Within seconds, he was a few feet from me. Cameras were flashing, everyone was cheering, and I knew this was my moment. I pushed my way up to the barricade as he shook hands with as many people as time would allow. I squeezed up front, but Obama was moving quickly and just passed me by. Then, in a moment of divine intervention, he saw me, clad in my red stop-sign of a dress, back-tracked ever so slightly in his procession, grabbed my hand, and gave that brilliant smile of his. I literally said out loud to the woman next to me who witnessed my good fate, "I’ll never wash this hand again."

also on that page, apparently Spike Lee suggests to have Obama's own timeline because he's going to change everything. As in B.C. / A.D. .....PEOPLE!?!?! c'mon!! Jesus is God's only Son. Have you already switched your allegiance?
As I come across more scripture explaining Jesus is THE only Savior, he died on the cross for our sins and no one else has done what he did to take away the sins of the world, I will have to write down the reference so I can give you a link here. The virgin birth was non-mistakable and can not be re-done. Prophesy was fulfilled. And no one can try to repeat that, not even be a runner-up. Not even any loosely suggested, far-strung attempts at making a connection between Obama and savior-like speech.

Remember the Bible? The infallible Word of God?? read it lately?
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Exodus 20:3 & Deuteronomy 5:7 "you shall have no other gods before me"
Matthew 24:23-25
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
1 John 4:1-3

(not the exact verses I was thinking of, but nonetheless, they speak the truth!)

All I'm saying is what I'm seeing all over the tv, on the web... this is way to cult-like and too much messiah emphasis. And all I am trying to do with my posts, is call their attention to the mis-leading hype, not to be carried away with the "thrill of history," and keep Jesus the true center of your life. (one and only center, that is)
