Below is video of one of President Obama's "Sell the Stimulus to the Suckers" tours, in which he fields a question from an audience member seemingly desperate for help.
Don't watch her, though. Watch the other lady, the one in the white blazer behind the questioner's right shoulder, when she at around :44 in the clip lovingly mouths "I love you, Barack" with an expression that clearly demonstrates her utter willingness to show him how much she loves him right then and there, if you catch my drift.
I used to watch History Channel documentaries about the rise of Nazism in Germany in the 1930's, and wonder how people could be so stupid as to blindly fall in love with politicians, of all people, and cheerfully line up for hours on the side of the road just to have the chance to throw flowers at them.
I don't wonder so much about that anymore. Now, seeing the same sort of lovefest live on cable news, I fear that we've come right back around to once again seeing that kind of blatant idolatry.
I'm really concerned about this. Anyone else?
