OBAMA: a very average politician, whose only above-average skill is giving a scripted, TelePrompter address to people who already support him. For the left, the debate was a mere b**tch slap to their entire fantasy worldview, the day they saw Obama As What He Is rather than What They Fantasized Him To Be. And they’re shocked by this. They feel their psychical mooring-lines stretching to the break. This is partly Obama’s fault, of course. He encouraged this. But it is much, much more the fault of people who pride themselves on being skeptical realists who permitted their minds to run to the magical and to the (frankly, blasphemously) religious. I hate to defend Obama at all, but I have to say to his Religious Zealot supporters: This is your sh*t. This is your deeply weird, Great Man on a White Horse worshipping psychological hangup. One of the most wonderful things which will come with a Romney presidency is that Romney will finally, once again, separate Church and State. The president, finally, will just be a man. Not a perfect man. Not a prefigurement of Jesus. Not a prophet and not a savior. Just a man. A good man, and a smart man. But ultimately just a man. The fusion of religion and politics has in fact been every bit as deleterious as the liberals always warned us. It’s just that they were the ones who actually fused God and President.
