This website sent a shiver up my back when a friend emailed me the link. Is this man a candidate for president or cannonization? Is he a political figure or a cult leader? And is there a difference any more?

To my eyes, the man has yelled change and offered little to no insight into details of how he would achieve this. When he has provided details, they are either straight down the liberal democrat ticket or are issues that he has given conflicting answers to. But is anybody concentrating on what issues he is (or isn't promoting)? Or is this a cult of personality?

Take a look: It is way too long to cut and paste here... but the pictures are disturbing on their own:

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?
Just some of the pics:

A real liberal president would mean lots of change. (Clinton wasn't a liberal btw). That's the thing with you people, he's got lots of things he wants to change. He's got a plan. You don't think he does because you choose not to listen to him. It's because you don't want to hear what he has to say.

p.s. At least Obama doesn't believe he's destined by god to be president.

Yes, but by then it will be too late. You give Obama a democratic House and Senate, and he can do a lot of damage in 4 years.
