Surely you would caution them to sober up and adjust their expectations. <BR/><BR/>"On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. They shouted, 'This is the voice of a god, not a man.' Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died." (Acts 12:21-23)<BR/><BR/>But Obama has not uttered a word of that sort. <BR/><BR/>"When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, 'The gods have come down to us in human form!'...But when the apostles Barnabus and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 'Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you.'" (Acts 14:11-15)<BR/><BR/>I am curious to see what effect this talk eventually has on him, especially as it is coming even from his wife.David C.

But when liberals see a politician as a god or mediator with the divine, that's a kind of liberation. <BR/><BR/>I'm not getting it.David C.
