add Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 [quote name='jkaands' post='1771863' date='Feb 4 2009, 11:46 AM']Other Americans have admired their presidents in the extreme. Washington, Lincoln and FDR were 'worshipped' by the populace. Lincoln was virtually sainted after his assassination.[/quote] All the above were Admired, I wouldn’t say worshiped is really the correct vernacular, anyway said fame accrued only after a lifetime of great achievements What is odd about OB-(one) is the grandeur his accolades and adoration before he has accomplished anything other that winning an election.

And really, I think it is only to his disadvantage. No one is good enough to measure up to those standards and accolades they've inaccurately attributed to the man.

It's complex.[/quote] Most guys look good in a good suit. I love 'em, would wear one every day if I could. Unfortunately I'm in highschool. That would be odd. I still get away with a suit jacket once a week or so. A major difference between Obama's idol worship and the 'worship' of Lincoln, FDR, and whoever else was mentioned, is that they 'earned' (obviously that's debatable, but not relevant right now) that admiration through what they did. The be honest, Obama has done very little so far. What we're finding frightening is that all of this praise is being heaped upon him for words, and nothing more. Nothing to back it up. Don't derail my point by talking about what he has done. Comparatively, it's nothing so far. Also irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veridicus Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 What is IS, if we can judge by his 'extensive' voting record, is that he is easily one of the most liberal politicians in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
