“I pledge to be a servant of our President” What? How could anyone think that is a good thing to say to anyone much less children.
We use Orwell, Orwellian, and Orwellianism loosely a lot these days, but what is going on in the Obama administration is beginning to get a little (boarding on a lot) creepy and resembles a lot of things Orwell wrote about in 1984.
Conservatives are always talking about, writing about a Cult of Obama — this substitute religion. And sometimes you can overtalk about it. And sometimes you can undertalk about it. I have seen some things that would knock your socks off. This video reminds me about something I saw in New York about, maybe six months ago (and this sort of thing, by the way, is not and was not an isolated incident). There was, and maybe still is – I have not been by since, a display at large Barnes & Noble, at 66th and Broadway (Manhattan). Only it was not so much a display as a shrine. In any case, it was a window—the main window—and it was devoted to President Obama. The window was religious in character, or at least worshipful.
As I recall it included cardboard cutouts of President Obama, and front pages hailing his election, and a video monitor. The monitor played a loop of the Great Man in action, meeting the people, looking benevolent and leader-like. You would have to see it, to believe it and gag at it.
Frankly, Obama voters and fans ought to be embarrassed. This window was well-nigh North Korean.
Oh and Royal is obviously correct – this topic should be moved to the Politics Forum.

Somebody might want to tell hollywood types that this planet will be destroyed someday regardless of who they serve.
