Moving on from the misogyny meme, Jason? So, the new strategy is to insult people who vote for Obama? Oh yeah, this will work no doubt.

Obama is refreshing.
Who could get excited about Hillary or McCain? Hillary has taken so much lobbyist money and "Maverick" McCain has done backflips for Bush.
If Politico wants to talk about mania- why don't they talk about the authoritarian mindset of the loyal Bushies. He's the worst
president in history and the most incompetent and corrupt administration and they still support him. Now that's MANIA!!!!!

Well, we do know that people with problems can very rarely recognize their own issues. So don't be so quick to dismiss.

And history has shown us that it isn't impossible for a large group of people (or the majority for that matter) to be completely blinded by an "exciting" public speaker.

What bothers me is the blind support and love for Obama despite not just his lack of qualifications, but despite the offensive and unamerican rhetoric he employs:

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”

Excuse me? Barack won't "allow" me? It's not the president's job to tell me how to live my life. It's not his job to convince me to do anything. And it's not his job to save my soul. It's his job to manage the government, be commander in chief of the armed forces, and sign laws. Enough already with this redemption crap. I like my life just fine the way it is and I don't need some unqualified freshman Senator telling me what to do.

This is actually quite amusing. Every demographer knows that Obama supporters are among the most educated and well-READ citizens. So, it is out of sheer desperation that they are pushing this idiotic agenda...

it appears to be a cult to the out of touch. populism is a relatively new phenomena to today's ruling class. it is not new to america. it is our birthright.

get used to it.

hill will be a fine senator and very useful in the new administration. be a team player, bill and hill. WE are YOU just twenty years and millions of dollars removed.

yes we can! YES WE ARE!

I have yet to meet a Republican to tell me that Obama would be the weaker candidate. Without exception, they despise Hillary Clinton, (perhaps irrationally), and will do everything in their power to defeat her.

Obama brings hope and the promise of change to a nation that is craving for leadership. Nearly 8-years of mismanagement and an administration based on fear is about to end.

I look to a future American that can solve its problems by including everyone in the solution. I look to a future America that is truly that beacon on the hill that Bush 41 spoke of. I look to America where fear is no longer the primary motivator, but hope for our families, friends, and communities.

If this is naive, I choose to be naive. Obama offers not just words, but the possibility of a better America. God help us if he fails us. This is not a cult of personality, but a collective hope for a better tomorrow.

52% thought GWB was just WONDERFUL and now he's down to 19%.
This is how citizens in the USA DO NOT KNOW how to pick leaders.
They want FRESH and GREEN instead of seasoned and experienced and ripe for the job.
The democrats overlooked some of the BEST we had and now the most qualified for this job is HILLARY and apparently no one cares about that. Its the FLOWERY speeches they want that say NOTHING !!! Obama doesn't even want to insure everyone so we are back to square one.
Obama will be training on the job and at this time of crisis we dont' need a GREEN TRAINEE.

It seems to us that the so called "Obama-mania", which is almost unbridled support for Barack Obama, although it is a testimony to the candidate's abilities and his message; is also a sign and symptom, with people's disgust with the present system in Washington, and the phony two-bit politicians that have been selling us down the road for too long.
Look at today's prices for health care; education; milk; bread; gasoline; and everything else that a price tag can be placed on.
So "Obama fever" is merely the gasping for oxygen, of hoping for the end of a corrupt system, taking back our government, by someone who promises us that he will do so. Unless, he is Balkanized, like Jimmy Carter was as
soon as he became the president.
America is a beautiful country; it was even
more beautiful in the past, though there were things not to be proud of and which needed correction-such as the discrimination against people of color, and discrimination due to gender. It is a time, now, to be truly proud of America.
So there you have it, the reason for
Obama-mania-We are sick and tired of the same old, same old; and the pack of lies, that we are fed, by all the politicians, like we were children of the age of 7.

Enough said.

It is time we stood up for something.

Yes, We Can!

Many of us have clearly found our minds.

It's easy to "lose it" when that happens...

Not a permanent condition... the losing, that is.

The finding?

That's forever.

Thanks.

Obama stood before a Latina crowd here in Texas yesterday and promised the great amnesty for millions of illegal aliens which greatly pleased the crowd. No longer does Obama have the typical disclaimers, pay a fine, get in back of the line, learn English. No sir. He made the announcement that he wanted all Americans to learn a second language--that it wasn't just about Latinas learning English. He started finished that pandering session by saying, "Everyone in America needs to learn Sp-," but then he caught himself and switched Spanish to "a second language". In other words, he told the Latinas their illegal alien friends and family members not to worry about the "learn English " requirement, either.

Hillary must have been trying to outdo Obama. She made the statement to her Latina crowd that she promised she would put every single "immigrant" on the path of citizenship. She said they deserved that because they were hard working individuals. Never mind those who steal the identiy of citizens , causing all sorts of problems with that, never mind those using forged documents, never mind they get paid under the table to avoid taxes. No sir. They managed to sneak into the country and that's good enough for her. Last year, she voted against a bill that would at least forever bar convicted felons, illegal aliens who had been previously deported because of criminal activity and entered illegally again , or gang members such as MS13. Nope--she didn't want them excluded, either.

These two jerks are selling us out even worse than Bush tried to do when it comes to illegal immigration and that's an incredible fete to outdo him.

What amazes me is that Americans by the thousands are embracing the shouting of Spanish phrases by a man who shouted them while marching with illegal aliens and a senator from New York tells non Latinas to hell with them wanting border security first. Americans can't seem to wait until they turn this country into a third world status even faster than it's already becoming.

What...poor Hillary not getting enough attention, and Obaba supporters are psychotic? Is that what this is all about? I've got a solution to take the focus off of Barack Obama. It's quite simple: The media needs to start following Hillary around and plying her with questions. I'm sure that there are many of us out here in the real UNBIASED world that would like to hear the media ask Hillary why she did not use her influence to get Bill to REALLY focus on capturing Osama bin Laden. He'd been running around since 1993,...ObL I mean...oh well, never mind..

I'm so pissed that I can't say what I think this cult idea is intended to do.

I just attended the Hawaii causus. The many people gathered there were Asian, Pacific Islander, black, brown, white, and mixed. They were young and old. They almost all supported Obama. They were hardly "latte sipping, birkenstock wearing, trust-fund babies". It was beautiful and exciting to see grass-roots at work. They were hardly 'Obamamaniacs' or 'Obamabots' or crazy. They were hopeful.
Great article, thank you.
