Obama is a prelude to what we'll see when the AC comes a calling. There's no logical reason for people to swoon over Obama, but they do. He's captivating.
The media is playing a role here. The number of photos of Obama with light behind him is astounding. They are also on board. Chris Matthews gets tingly in his legs.

You're right. You're not drinking "the kool-aid". Good on you. But who says that drinking your own urine, while pining for your own demise is really much better?
"There's no logical reason for people to swoon over Obama, but they do."
This made me picture a scientist running out of a building clutching a wad of papers and shouting: "The numbers add up! According to my calculations, swooning over Obama is mathematically sound!"
Because maybe...just maybe...he's a candidate with half a brain.
No, you won't drink the kool-aid. You're too busy blowing your idol Bush.
Oh great, more of that "BARACK OBAMA IZ TEH ANTICHRIST!!1!!1!2!!" crap.
I must wonder, who was it that started this whole "meme" (for want of a better word)?
There was never a logical reason for people to swoon over George W. Bush, but they did. Hell, he's not even captivating.
Assuming I'm not speaking too soon, we have survived eight years with Bush. The world hasn't blown up yet. I'm pretty sure we can handle at least four years with "the other race" at the helm.
@ Wet Walnuts: This fundie isn't calling Obama himself the Antichrist. Rather, he's calling Obama the AC's opening act.
"The media is playing a role here. The number of photos of Obama with light behind him is astounding."
It's called arena lighting, frodobozo. Don't stare directly into it.
For that matter, if you check your hometown paper, you'll probably find a shot of kids, flowers or maybe your cocker spaniel done exactly the same way. This is basic photographic composition, dumbass.
Hey, maybe that means your dog's the Antichrist!

Do you often make a habit of contradicting yourself from one sentence to the next?
"I ain't drinking that kool-aid."
Waiting for the RaptureReady folks to pass out their own proprietary blend, huh?
"There's no logical reason for people to swoon over Obama, but they do."
That's funny. You of all people giving a lecture on what's logical and what's not. Hilarious.
You have acquired the kool-aid via osmosis. You are surrounded by nutcases, and some of it has inevitably seeped in to your poor, feeble, god-filled, head cavity which you know as your brain.
"There's no logical reason for people to swoon over Obama, but they do."
There's no logical reason to thinking that some Jewish guy who died two thousand years ago will come through the clouds and lift up everyone who believes in him, but you do that anyway. What's your point?
1. People swoon over "Obama" because he is eloquent, intelligent and indeed due to his half and half origins looks exotic. He is also set to be the first BLACK president of the US. Your excuse seems to be "waah! people like him. Possibly cause he is different. And maybe due to the fact he is black!"
2. Maybe Obama just likes to hang around near a light.

I NEED SCISSORS! SIXTY-ONE!
back lighting makes everyone look better. Any competant photographer or similarly educated person could tell you that.
Also: "There's no logical reason for people to swoon over Obama, but they do. He's captivating ."
While perhaps not a good reason to vote for teh guy it's certainly a logical one. Here, let me get you a bandage for your foot.
Nope. The Kool-Aid you drank was Rapture-Ready Christianity. Of course, with the cultist mindset you already have, everything that isn't in your locked-gate imagination already, is heretical kool-aid.
I love it when fundies ironically reference the dangers of cult behavior. It's just so...awful.
He is charming and a talented speaker with some good policies. That might be why people like him. It's VERY refreshing after the past eight years of president numb-nuts.
And what does he have to do with air conditioning?
Well, I sort of swoon over him. And, there are tons of logical reasons. He's dignified. He takes a lot of shit and doesn't retaliate or behave like a child. He is an intelligent man with, for the first time in a long time, real, solid ideas about how this country should move forward rather than continue to be steeped in baby boomer mentality and "staying the course". He's never once gone off the deep end towards those that attack his character; in fact, he ignores it. That probably makes fools try harder to attack, but he continues to ignore. He will not stoop to such a level. He has class. He has grace.
Yes, he is charismatic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being charismatic. Nothing. He's also eloquent. He's respectful. He doesn't allow himself to be baited into ignorant discussions. He thinks before he speaks.
You're just scared of a black man being a United States president. It will alter all your perceptions of equality and god's hand in matters. You're just scared that a president that considers all citizens of this country worthy of respect and honor will make you less of a person, because your "high" position as a christian will no longer exist once the shrub and his cronies are gone; you'll be just like everyone else. And, for fundies, that is a fate worse than death.

They probably didn't start this "meme," but I'll bet John McCain's people are working hard to promote it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
