Re: "...if OBama is president for the next four years..."
There is no absolute direct parallel, but this past week revealed a "cult of personality" fixated on Obama which is in many ways reminiscent of the German peoples' in the 1920's-1930's "willingness to believe" in almost anyone who would promise to restore their pride and self image and who would claim that they "had all the answers" to their national problems.
Thus, we find a large disenchanted and disenfranchised population, from both major political parties, who now "have lost their faith" in the American system of government, who no longer are willing to believe and follow the likes of Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee, McCaine, and the Clintons, because they now know that "the machine" will continue on its path of destruction after all the traditional candidates' promises are broken and forgotten the day after the inauguration.
The hysteria we are now witnessing is indeed a phenomenon of a "mass movement psychology"...whereby a large number of people who normally would find nothing in common with each other, are now so disillusioned and desperate that they will fall at the feet of any candidate who offers them "leadership which will change direction"...their one last hope for a sense of nationhood.
Clearly this is what is being displayed all across America this past week, because whites who normally vote "anti-black" are now so desperate that they are practicing self-delusion; believing that a mixed-race candidate can "heal" the rift between the races in America. The black electorate, is for the most part throwing their lot in behind Obama simply because he is half-black, or at the very least non-white. The Democrats who recently ran for office on an anti-Bush platform of promising to end the Iraq war and repeal all of Bush's legislation, proved to their stalwart followers that all but a couple of the candidates were huge liars which turned and sided with 'the enemy' once in office. That sealed Hillary's fate. Likewise, the Republicans who worshipped Bush, now realize that they also were scammed; it would seem that the "Conservative Family Values" candidates, once in office, have been the most immoral and corrupt crowd ever seen in Washington.
Now a majority of Americans can sense the deterioration of America on all fronts domestic and foreign, and are "willing" to take a chance at a "long shot" candidate.
That one with the most jive, the best promises, and almost a blank slate for a track record is Senator Barak Hussein Obama...he of the Black Muslims who claims to be Christian and offers "peace" and "free medical care"; he who offers his hand in friendship to all dictators and terrorists bent on our destruction.
Even so, the majority of Americans must be "past the point of caring", as they so clearly reveal in this hysteria of idol-worship invented around a repulsive looking non-entity who doesn't speak in Ebonics.
I suggest all reading this keep their passports active.
