Mad Thoughts

The phone. Hold it.

Earlier on a radio talk show I heard someone call Obama the savior of the West.

A few minutes ago, I read a Micheal Moore quote where says its up to Obama to save the world:

Your opposition has spent the morning attacking you for bringing such good will to this country. Why do they hate America so much? I get the feeling that if you found the cure for cancer this afternoon they’d be denouncing you for destroying free enterprise because cancer centers would have to close. There are those who say you’ve done nothing yet to deserve this award. As far as I’m concerned, the very fact that you’ve offered to walk into the minefield of hate and try to undo the irreparable damage the last president did is not only appreciated by me and millions of others, it is also an act of true bravery. That’s why you got the prize. The whole world is depending on the U.S. — and you — to literally save this planet. Let’s not let them down.

- Michael Moore

Hold. The fuck. Up.

I support the President. Nah, I love Obama, but that doesn’t mean I’ll follow him into the desert, knaamean?

I will not stand for the messiahification of this man. Its dangerous, wrong, and not the American way. We made fun of every nutjob who felt GWB was the third nipple of god. Just because we’ve got some hope in the White House doesn’t mean we have to lose our shit.

And that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna call foul on the President when he does something I don’t like or he gets rewarded for promising to bring peace to the world.

I’m not George W.Bush either. Where is my goddamn award?
