How do you feel about this? Is there anything to it or are they just a bunch of kooks?

They are not praying to Obama, it is quite clear that they are not.

I'm not an Obama fan especially but I'm finding this constant obsession of the Republican right tiresome and not a little scary. He was democratically elected. People need to get over it.

Maybe if the Republians field a decent candidate, next time they might win? Me? I'll still be voting for Ron Paul.

You do realize that Ron Paul was a Republican candidate last election, right?

No, he wasn't. The republican candidate was John McCain, Ron Paul wanted to be, but the republicans didn't want him. A really sad and heartbreaking story, and if it were the democrats, there'd already be an oscar wining movie based on it.

You should've been paying more attention to the other side Lee. BTW when did you decide to vote democrat, was Obama your first choice or you really wanted Hillary, or may be even one of the others?

It reminds me of the stupid hoaxters who posted the video about kids praying to Bush instead of praying for Bush(which is what they were really doing).

Do you mind providing a link? That would be a nice addition to this thread.

By the way Billy Jeff and Englishgent, this is not a thread about Obama but rather what appear to be kooks praying to him.
I am curious to see other such stories and videos about other leaders of the world.

Gugi, I burnt those videos along with the other ones. You know, the ones where you are doing that funny thing you always do to my goats, those videos.

Well, that would have been a good point if not for the fact that what was being represented (people praying to Obama) was no such thing. Check out the website of the organization whose members were on the video. You may not agree with their political positions, but they were NOT chanting what your post said they were chanting. Now, I realize you only cut and pasted another post from the net, but the fact of the matter is that it was a misrepresentation that you invited people to comment upon. Had you fact-checked before you posted, you would have found that out. As you (finally) correctly note, it "appears" those in the video are praying to Obama (well, not to me, but your ears my differ). Bottom line: you posted nonsense. And the willingness of so many to believe this type of nonsense is, as I said, breath taking. Can't wait for the birther videos...

I wanted to write you in, but you couldn't produce an American birth certificate, so I didn't think you'd have a chance of getting elected President

Well, looks like they didn't pray loud enough in Chicago.
(They just got dumped out of the Olympics bid in the first round.)
