Now I am not one of those who goes around arguing that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ. For one, that argument doesn’t really fit with my eschatology. But beyond that, I don’t find it to be spiritually fruitful to sit around trying to identify candidates for “The Beast” or “The False Prophet” from Revelation.

But if I see many more articles like this one, I might have to reconsider that view.

Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope. Barack Obama never talks about how people see him: I'm not the one making history, he said every chance he got. You are. Yet as he looked out Tuesday night through the bulletproof glass, in a park named for a Civil War general, he had to see the truth on people's faces. We are the ones we've been waiting for, he liked to say, but people were waiting for him, waiting for someone to finish what a King began.

Oh good grief. It is more of the Obamolatry that we have seen throughout the campaign, now metastasized into worshipful prose.

Keep trying to deify the man, and you’ll simply encourage religious believers to flip to the final book of the Bible. And that will be too bad, because this machine politician from one of the most politically corrupt places in America might be able to rise to the challenge of being an above average President if you don’t load him down with expectations he can’t meet and speculations he doesn’t deserve.
