lgf: Obama the Self-Proclaimed Messiah Obama the Self-Proclaimed Messiah Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 8:41:41 am PST Last night Barack Obama broke all records for campaign promises, with one of the most over the top self-aggrandizing statements ever uttered by a presidential candidate. I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. He’s going to heal the sick and make the oceans part. Ooohhkay.
