The only people who believe Obama is a "Messiah" are people who think he has a magic wand and should have solved--in a matter of mere months-- the nation's Bush-induced economic meltdown.
In other words, the only people who believe Obama is a "Messiah," apparently, are the Republicans.
No, he is known as the village idiot or the spender in chief.
But CNN, MSBNC ( Chris Matthews ) and many liberals believe he is, or was until he showed them he is a total failure and now have backed off on making him out like something special.
Special he is not. A mistake he is.

Gloomy Days, you must have misunderstood the question, it is addressed to those that did vote for him. We ALL know you did not and will continue to whine not matter what he does, good or bad. Heck, if he cured all the ills of the world you would whine that he did not do it fast enough.

Soooooooo, when are we going to get that smart one for President? I would like to have someone who can actually think on his feet and not have to use a teleprompter for every time he speaks. Yes, Obam is no dummy for sure, but he is not as intelligent as so many of you think he is. He was prepared for the campaign long before any of us ever knew he even existed. He has been trined how to act and react. I can train my dog the same way, but my dog actually thinks for himself.
The claims in bold contradict each other. Preparing oneself shows intelligence, among other things. Making contradictory claims in an argument? Not so much.
What follows the bold is just silly. What precedes it is a non-sequitur, as intelligent people the world over have used devices to aid in speaking. Again, a rather intelligent move on their parts.

He uses a teleprompter when he gives a SPEECH - just like every other official, politician or presenter (well except maybe for Palin - clearly NEEDED one) - and that's the way it SHOULD be. He's got far important ways to spend his time than memorizing speeches. He thinks fine "on his feet" thank you very much as evidenced by his many "town meetings" and presss conferences.
He's doing a terrific job under very, very difficult conditions.
Sinced the ONLY people that refer to President Obama as the "Messiah" comes from the right the question is not a valid one. If, by your question, you meant to ask of those that voted him in office over McCain do we still consider it the better vote, the answer from me, and most that voted for him, per the current polls, is YES.

When fifty percent of a nation votes in an illegitimate and unqualified candidate based on teleprompter talent, with no questions asked, no criticism of his radical and outrageous "policies", it might be a pretty good guess to say he is their professed messiah. He and Machmoud could be bros....no violence in the streets here, yet.

Come on, Casper you have to know some OMG voters living where you do.

Townhall meetings and press conferences where they ask prepared questions. Now lets see how he does if we throw him into a press conference with people like that Thomas lady who had been happy to be part of the "don't push him group" for months and suddenly turned on him when it became apparent what was going on.
We saw him, even during the campaign, when he turned his back on the teleprompters or they broke down. Yeah, he thinks on his feet real fast.
