Misunderstanding the Promises of the Church of Obama

More tiring and repetitive thoughts from a columnist who does not understand the deeper and more positive implications of Obamianity:

And apparently, Barack Obama is the new messiah. Here's how a 20-year-old woman in Seattle described that Obama feeling: "When he was talking about hope, it actually almost made me cry. Like it really made sense, like, for the first, like, whoa ... "

This New Age glossolalia may be more sonorous than the guttural emanations from the revival tent, but the emotion is the same. It's all religion by any other name. Whatever the Church of Obama promises, we should not mistake this movement for a renaissance of reason. It is more like, well, like whoa.

Whoa? The only whoa I see here is the deliberate absence of generosity, the smug unwillingness to give young people the benefit of the doubt, the blindness of not seeing the truer meaning of our political and cultural moment.
