Smith College Student: Obama Is My "Personal Jesus" (Plus: Children Now Singing Choral Hymns To Obama)

He's The Man

Maybe even creepier: he's going to save America whether we "like it or not." That last bit makes it tough to choose whether this as an example of liberal facsism or of liberalism-as-religion. Although I suppose there's no reason that it can't be both:

In the Smith College student newspaper, a student writes an impassioned op-ed declaring Obama to be her "Personal Jesus."... "Obama had beat out squeaky clean southern boy John Edwards and former first lady and next in the line of political succession Hillary Clinton. I was in shock. And then I came to Jesus/Obama... I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.

Geraghty thinks it might be a parody. I dunno. Obama supporters have already started using his middle name as a saint's name. Which doesn't even register as a blip on the creepyasfuckometer when compared to this:

Check out the creepy coordinated hand motions starting in at around 40 seconds. Wow.
