From where I sit, **JJM** is merely a walking talking point, and his is one of the most ridiculous, immature behavior that I’ve seen here. To wit: he makes unprovable statements about people (2? a thousand?) who believe that the POTUS is going to pay their mortgages, then flatly refuses to back up his argument because this is the pit? And don’t bother even starting a thread in the proper forum because he won’t back up his assertions there either?  
Seriously dude, how old are you, 12?

Three pages and not a single example of a Obama worshiper. C’mon, it can’t be that hard. Surely you can find some youtube post of somebody improvising during a rally, then naively claim it equivalent to the millions of Bush worshippers who were blown away by the fact that a politician would mention Jesus in a Presidential debate.

Sorry, sorry- stuck in traffic again.

_sets out prayer mat_

\*Our Obama,  
Who art in the White House  
Hussein be thy middle name

Thy hope come  
Thy change be done  
In America as it is in Illinois

Give us this day our daily briefing  
And forgive us our bankruptcies  
As we forgive those who owe us five bucks

For thine is the Presidency, the House and the Senate  
For three to eight more years

Amen\*

The OP use of Obama worshippers totally negates any discussion. Can he show an Obama worshipper so we can discuss him or is just a slanted perversion of an overactive conservative mind set. There are no Obama worshippers. the term itself is a figment of imagination.  
Whats rarer, Obama worshippers of unicorns? Discuss.

Well, it’s not very scientific or nothin’, but Google comes up with 82,300 hits for “Obama Worshippers” and 17,900,000 for unicorns. Plus - my daughter has a unicorn (not a live one, just a toy). So - I’m pretty sure Obama worshippers are way rarer.

Interesting aside: “Liberal douchebag” only comes up with 16,600 hits. So they must be the rarest of all.

One can only assume that a Google search on “fuck bush” would come up with millions of hits … but I’m at work right now, so I ain’t gonna do it.

Yeah, sure, but some of those are bound to be about sexual attraction to tumbleweeds, creosote, that sort of thing! Don’t leap to conclusions!

That is satire, or at least tongue-in-cheek. [This,](http://o.bamapost.com/) however, is not, though it does seem to be a prime example of why [Poe’s Law](http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Poe's_Law) is valid.
