He's really has become a bit of an enigma... Almost a &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/gerard_baker/article4392846.ece"&gt;religious experience for the Obamamaniacs&lt;/a&gt;. Read it, it's pretty fucking funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;Update:  Hahaha. There's already an amusing Video Response called &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA9uIhOp034&amp;amp;watch_response"&gt;Browns Downfall&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.respectcoalition.org/"&gt;RESPECT &lt;/a&gt;even get a mention.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3792187501450027483-1607437198868755454?l=ruminatorblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ruminatorblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1607437198868755454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3792187501450027483&amp;postID=1607437198868755454' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3792187501450027483/posts/default/1607437198868755454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3792187501450027483/posts/default/1607437198868755454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ruminatorblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/barrack-obama-meets-david-cameron.html' title='Barrack Obama meets David Cameron'/><author><name>ruminator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00616822466938949062</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792187501450027483.post-2120611249887742617</id><published>2008-07-26T13:40:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T17:30:55.838+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Liberal Elitists</title><content type='html'>Fucking plonkers.
