Obamania

From my reading the past couple of days, I have to think I am the only person in this country not ready to kiss the feet of the new messiah. The way the news media is writing it, every single person in America and I should also say the world is ready to serve the new king. If we are to believe the stories being written, there is not a person in America that isn't ready to pee their pants in excitement.
There are only two possibilities for this occurrence. One is that I am the only sane person in America, possibly the world. Second is that the press in America is completely delusional and are writing fantasy stories instead of real news. Instead of being the watchdogs of the government, they have become the cheerleaders for Obama. They have prostituted themselves to a man at the expense of truth, and it is the American public that will be the ones that potentially suffer because of their zeal for one candidate. When I read this I nearly fell out of my chair, "Obama, whom some have called the greatest orator of his generation." I'm thinking what the hell is this person talking about. Have you heard him speak when there is no teleprompter in front of him? There are so many "uhhs" he makes me believe that I'm a great public speaker.
Our Founders believed the Press would the guardians of truth, ready to expose it, so that the public would know what was happening in their government. We the citizens can no longer count on the press to do this. "Our citizens may be deceived for awhile, and have been deceived; but as long as the presses can be protected, we may trust to them for light."- T. Jefferson. It should be clear to anyone that looks at what happened in this election that the press can no longer be trusted. We no longer have true journalists that can put aside their own personal views to inform the public. The editorial page has taken over the whole paper. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with a paper endorsing a candidate, but when they do so at the expense of the truth, it is wrong.
What should make this election historic is not because a black man was elected to office, but because a man was elected to office with the collusion of much of the press in this country. Not that this is the only reason. Republicans put forth a pathetic candidate. How he managed to make it through the primary is baffling. Then of course, the six hundred million pound elephant, or jackass, was a tremendous obstacle to overcome even if the Republicans had put forth a viable candidate. We all know elections can be bought, and those that have the most money usually end up winning. Our whole election process has become a joke in so many ways. Anyway, I am straying from my original reason for writing this.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes before people start to realize that Obama is not a miracle worker and that he can't walk on water, and that he is not going to pave the streets of America with gold.
I would also like to point out that the symbolism of him using Lincoln's bible is rather striking. While I know all you Republicans out there love Lincoln, he was a tyrant and the biggest Constitutional violator we have ever had as a President. The myth of the man that freed no slaves is bigger than the actual person he was, much like Obama. Unfortunately, with Obama, the myth has been grown and pushed along by the press while the man is still alive and yet to have accomplishment that has been a benefit to anyone but himself.
However, I for one do not expect much from a man that believes a child born from a botched abortion should be left to die. I am sure there are other bright points of light out there in the current darkness that don't believe the hype and have not been deluded into believing that Christ has returned.
