Be afraid...be very afraid.
We have entered into the Age of Obama which is destined to outshine the Age of Aquarius. I have recently seen an Obama ad (new at least for my local area). In a carefully constructed montage of music, evocative images, audios, and voice overs, we are being promised our salvation as a people and a nation.
According to this ad, Obama, once elected is going deliver tax cuts for the middle class, incentives for U.S. based businesses, return the troops from Iraq, achieve world peace, and save the planet environmentally, and we will be doing it with him because we are all one. By "believing it's time for a change" and that he is that change everything will be right with the world.
In general I don't trust politicians, but I wonder about the bandwagon that's attached itself to this senator. Oprah , who is wrapped up in her favorite thing, the cult of the Secret, has ordained him "brilliant" and has become his personal 'John the Baptist". Senator Kennedy has passed off the scepter of Camelot to him. Then there are the gaggle of artistic types who worship at his altar who are totally awestruck.
For heaven sakes! This guy is just a first term senator who hasn't even cut his political teeth. Are we becoming so like the Roman Empire that we embrace anyone that will tell us what we want to hear? What we need is the courage for someone to step up and tell us what we don't want to hear- that no one in the time span of a presidential term can deliver what it will take
to right the course of this nation. That a president cannot make change happen without the support of the legislature.
Oops! times up for now. Talk to you later.
