Kim Jong Obama and Other Images of the "Messiah"

I have finally decided to address the image of Obama in this blog. His image will be further shown in the election section of "The New Genesis," which will not actually be completed until after the election at the current rate of production.

Obama has tried extensively to style himself after John F. Kennedy, and I really wanted someone to revive the old "You're no Jack Kennedy" statement, but that won't work. Even McCain is too young for that.

But on the other hand, we can destroy the glint of that image by putting to words the major accomplishments of Jack Kennedy, which were overwhelmingly negative. McCain could merely say that his opponent has styled himself after an inexperienced man who stared down a wall, almost starting World War III (Cuban Missile Strike), and actually did start the most unpopular war (with a "tiny country" in Southeast Asia) and only war to be lost by America. And after he was assassinated, his more experienced successor was completely in charge of the unpopular war and lost it through actual incompetence and refusal to rely on commanders to engage the war. Then he looks at Obama and says "You tried to stare down Georgia when Russia invaded it, and now you want to start a war with Pakistan. I agree with you, you look like Jack Kennedy, and we can't afford that now."

That would be an amazing statement that would completely throw one of the three prominent images that Obama tries to use for himself on its head. The "Messiah" image is reemerging after about a month hiatus (following McCain's "The One" ads before the DNC). There is also an image that is quite unflattering (if you think about it), the "Dear Leader" image.

By "Dear Leader," I mean that he has styled himself after the dictator Kim Jong Il. His Messiah image very much coincides with this. He tries to create an air of perfection, using a favorable media and threats to control opposition. He creates an ultra-loyal base using this image, spawning public adulation. He takes credit for the positive actions of government, whether they happen or not, and denies any connection to negative aspects, or calls these negative things positive. He is ambitious unlike any other person in our recent history, seeking power at the expense both of family and friends. He creates various racially-based images to divide groups against each other; he insights class warfare in order to push for redistribution of wealth and excessive government control over the everyday life of citizens.

He has propaganda spewing forth from all corners of his mouth, much of which contradicts the other things he says. Therefore, whatever he does or doesn't do has already been promised to be done and avoided (both for every issue). He has children already being indoctrinated to support him through song (and "dance?"). This is reminiscent of the North Korean workers singing (literally) the praises of their "Dear Leader," while praying to his images, which are everywhere, and clapping to a uniform beat. The only difference I see is that Obama does not wear his patriotic pin at all public outings. No wonder he says that he will negotiate with rogue dictators - they are his models for candidacy and, presumably (since he says that his experience is based in "running his campaign for 19 months") his presidency (God Forbid.).

Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of McCain, but we cannot allow someone who takes as his model the worst dictator in the world, who surrounds himself with crooks and radicals (and pastors who say we deserved to be attacked on 9/11), who spurs racial hatred and class warfare, who lies incessantly about his own record, about his associations current and past, and about his future plans, and whose entire experience in leadership and governance is demonstrating his ambition through his campaign, to achieve that ambition. We must choose the lesser of two evils... and that is John McCain.
