Has anyone seen the video on his website? I think it's called "we can change" or something similar.
People are singing the words to one of his speeches...singing! It's about five minutes long and it has all sorts of Hollywood stars chorusing his words as though they were holy psalms or sacred hymns.
Most people don't even know why it is they like him. He speeches are so empty of meaning, yet full of emotion. It's frightening, honestly. My brother calleld him the "fill in the blank" candidate.
You would think it is a cult, the way people follow him.
People talk about Bush as being the Antichrist...it could very well be Obama. No? Think about it...
The Antichrist will be a man who can unite the world (at first) and give or appear to give a peace which has never been seen.
Obama grew up in a Muslim family, but now he goes to church just like everyone else. he can reach both sides and without question, if we could find a way to end the warring between the Arabs and the West, he would be seen as a savior. He would be the man riding a "White Horse" with a crown on his head.
People who know Scripture, understand that no one but the Father can say when the end is. So in turn, neither does satan. The point? Satan always has to have someone at the ready to fill in the role...
Just thinking...

IMHO i don't think Obama will be the next president (neither will Hillary), John McCain will win to keep Bush's wars going till 2012-2013. So i doubt he will be an antichrist without the power.

I think Bush and Cheney are far more frightening since they're more than willing to do just about anything for power.

Including destroying our constitution.

Obama would lose all his support if he tried pulling half the crap Bush has while in office.

I see what you are saying. I worry (fear) when people follow a person with such blind faith. He said the campaign wasn't about him, it was about you (the hoards in front of him). Who is he kidding? It is all about him.

I think his speeches are a waste of time all he preaches about is what’s wrong with the country. And I think we already know what’s wrong. But he never gives any solutions or specifics on what he would do. He sounds more like he's preaching rather than giving a speech and I'm thinking that there're going to break out in a gospel song soon. Some one asked a group of people who like Obama, name one thing he has done and not one of them could come up with anything. All I hear people say is he's a good speaker or he nice looking or he has a fresh face or he's nice, but not one thing about what he's going to do to change things.

Obama is a great speaker and as they say; always beware of a good orator in politics because they are the ones that can sway the masses.

Look at all his popular support. Ditto with Hitler, he could give a speech and have the whole crowd ready to goose step through a brick wall. The only difference is right vs left.

Please cite your sources for your above information.

I would LOVE to hear where you get your info from, please.

I heard him say "It's about, you," on Super Tuesday. I was listening to the speech and almost threw up when he said it because it is so clearly a play on the peoples' emotions. It was a way to drive people into a frenzy...almost religious.
Am I saying he is the Antichrist...no...I'm saying he fits the bill.

You've got to be kidding me. It's basic marketing. Try to find a commercial that isn't that cheezy.

And to say it's 'almost religious', c'mon now. How is that religious as opposed to marketing? It's 'religious' because you want it to be so that you have a point in this thread, which, as far as I can tell, doesn't seem to have one.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I agree, because one woman said it. that is almost an insult to suggest it...and I'm sure you didn't mean that.
What I see, here and there, is a growing feeling that something is off...and it is. He can do no wrong. His motives are not questioned or doubted. He is scene as this altruistic man who wants only to serve others....there is no such thing as altruism.

Marketing wants or covets people buying a product or service. It doesn't try to work people into a frenzy...religions and cult do, however.
Did you see the video on his website? They are singing his spoken words...i think that's a bit more than simple marketing or marketing of any sort. It's propaganda.

I think you are correct... It is a difference in the way you and I are viewing things. I am sorry if I came across in a way I didn't mean. Understand, I look at things from the point of view of my religious beliefs and some may say they cloud my vision. I tend to think it is the only way a person of true conviction should see things. Again, I am sorry if I came across wrong...
