jealousy

It was obvious that many righties are feeling jealous of President Obama. They bemoan the admiration he is receiving as 'worship'. A cute way of doing this is to say something along the lines of "I have a savior and his name is Jee-sus, not Obama".

I can remember feeling that way at the height of Reagan's popularity. I can vividly remember feeling that way about W Bush's popularity. The strange thing is I can't remember how very obnoxious I must have been about it. I felt VERY angry about the adulation they were receiving given the damage I knew they were doing to my country.

One thing I'm sure of is that I didn't invoke Jesus, the right wing owns that icon.
