Barack Obomination?

"An undergraduate student's papier mache sculpture of Obama as a messianic
figure — entitled "Blessing" — went on display Saturday at a downtown gallery
run by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. By Monday, word of the piece
had spread on political blogs, and the school had been flooded with calls.
David Cordero, 24, made the sculpture for his senior show after noticing all the
attention Obama has received since he first hinted he may run for the
presidency.
"All of this is a response to what I've been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins," Cordero said. "In a lot of ways it's about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped." (Link)

So a 24 year old grad student decideds to do a think piece about the country's fixation on Obama coming in to save our society from the evil republican regime. I'm not losing sleep, infact I think this has less to do with blasphemy then it does our mindless obsession over the "next big thing". This is just the thing I was trying to explain during the last episode. Don't check your brain at the door, examine the situation at hand and don't blindly follow the propaganda of your local mega-church leaders or telelvangelists. Christians should be the ones creating the art, not trying to destroy it.
