Missed the Second Coming

Yesterday and today, I have been bombarded by comments about the recent inauguration of our now President. In the first instance, yesterday, my hairstylist (yes, I know you're giggling given my hair situation) asked me all kinds of questions about this event: had I seen it, what did I think, wasn't the speech great, etc. etc. etc.

Today, again, at my dentist appointment, as well as from two different people at work I was "aksed" my opinion.

Not having seen (or even desired to) anything, apparently I missed out on a miracle.

But I'm bothered....and not because the fact that my candidate didn't win, but rather that EVERYONE seems to have been bitten by the Obama hysteria. It's truly remarkable that the media, African American people, liberals with ice cream cones in Madison, movie celebrities, and on and on and on, all seem to communicate the same thing: that we're seeing the second coming of the Messiah, and we're all going to be led to the promised land, just you wait.

I'm bothered by the lack of skepticism of anyone that this man has ZERO experience, and hasn't done anything yet. At least the Messiah I know performed miracles, healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, turned water into wine, provided a fish and bread dinner for what seems to be millions in the Middle East from all of one fish and one loaf of bread. And this Messiah has yet to arrive. Yet at the same time, Obamessiah is part of a corrupt Chicago political machine, and appointed a tax-cheat to run the US Treasury. Hmm....seems to me something smells fishy. And in eating seafood, this is a BAD sign.

Call me kooky, but I see a big difference.

And when I play the nay-sayer, or the skeptic, or the cynic, in all of my experiences over the last two days, I am reprimanded for not "believing," or am accused of being racist (which is far from the truth). Hell, can anyone blame this non-believer after 16 MISERABLE years of the Presidency that put us in the state that we're now in? This chronic fawning over this person is short of sickening to say the least.

But, I can always count on my mom to tell me a story to put things back into perspective.

One of the people she works with had been talking with some other guests at a soiree recently, in which they were all talking about how wonderful things were going to be. They, too, had been bitten by Obam-insania. They then asked him if he was going to attend the inauguration.

His response: "I'd rather see an Amy Winehouse concert live, in Afghanistan, hands down."

I couldn't have said it any better myself.
