Later in the day, a liberal acquaintance referred to Obama as "the Messiah," although she insisted it was meant in humor.<BR/><BR/>For all their other moronic shortcomings, I never heard conservatives speak of the departed George Bush as a deity. Many of them wanted Bush to embrace their religious programs, and the man often referred to himself as God's choice for president. But it has taken the Democratic liberals - who enjoyed chastising the "religious right" for its excesses - to elevate Barack Obama to the realm of the gods. "Le Roi Soleil," Louis XIV dubbed himself. With what mantle shall Mr. Obama now cloak himself?<BR/><BR/>As goofy as the likes of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell often revealed themselves to be, a president transformed into a pharaoh is a far more troubling phenomenon in American politics.Michael Malakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007582156392845677noreply@blogger.com
