Here’s where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul. ~Mark Morford (who is apparently not kidding)

Of course, the moment you read that bit about these “spiritually advanced people,” you should start keeping a lookout for the nearest Scientologist offering to use his Tech to help you advance.   

I was ahead of the curve in noticing something related to this Obama-worship:  

This is someone who says, “Obviously, you are all terribly wrong, but I am such a good guy that I am going to indulge you in your false notions out of compassion for your suffering.”  The Messiah references have been all wrong–this is Obama as bodhisattva.  “You cling to your delusions, but I am here to teach you a path of liberation from all such attachments.” 

If he has these magical powers, perhaps the Obama campaign could arrange to have the city of San Francisco sealed inside its own pocket of the space-time continuum until the election is over.
