“Maybe Obama really deserves this worship”
It’s creepy enough when Americans talk of the Obamessiah, but this came from a Canadian journalist. (Note the unAmerican spelling of “fervour”.)
Rapt eyes shone as Obama spoke with stunning eloquence of re-building America. When the president delivered perhaps his most impressive rhetorical offering, telling the world’s tyrants, “We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist,” many in the audience gasped audibly at the sheer power of his language.
I haven’t seen a group of people wearing their fervour so completely, and so uniformly, since a guy I used to work with brought me to visit his weird sex cult in California.
But maybe Obama, unlike the cult leader in the purple house, really deserves this worship.
Where’s my barf bag?

Obama deserves this worship? What a strange statement!
I was at the dentist and the dental assistant was giddy over the inauguration. Getting the fillings was painless. Listening to her chatter wasn’t.
I have decided to hibernate for the next four years in the hope that, when I wake up, all this will have been a bad dream.
