A Slate reporter has been checking out the swag for sale at the Democratic National Convention. He came upon a calendar that features a different Obama theme each month. August's is deeply disconcerting. Check it out:

That would be unbelievable, if it weren't so believable.

"Deeply disconcerting" is putting it mildly!

Well, there is the miracle of the double-budgeted Medicare dollars.

To think that just yesterday I believed nobody could top a 25-foot, 15-ton sand statue of The One.  Then this.

Unbelievable.

It looks tongue-in-cheek to me. Maybe that’s still disconcerting, in some objective way. It doesn’t disconcert me, though.

Un-friggin-believable.  Except that it does further my thesis that for many liberals, leftism is their religion.

I'll leave it up to God to decide how to handle this.  He certainly can take care of Himself.  But this confirms that I'm definitely not going to get anywhere near Charlotte.

"... that He gave his misbegotten son..." is the translation that is in my Bible -- at least in the chapter that covers Obama's life.

ha.  Yes, the boldness of that one should have raised a few red flags in some editing office.  What disconcerts me is that it may not have.

Did you ever get the feeling that sooner or later, the Democrats would start giggling and then admit that they were just kidding? This was a bet that Clinton made with Carville or something? I keep waiting for Robert Redford to turn to Peter Boyle and say, "Now what?"

Can't remember which talking head said this, but it is true: 

"Republicans shout USA, USA. Democrats shout OBAMA, OBAMA." 

Scary.

Look for photos of The Great One walking on water next, this all just too creepy.

When did we decide believing oneself to be Jesus was no longer a indicator of mental instability and instead constitutes a prerequisite for access to the nukes? I must say, I am a bit stupefied. Newsweek covers, all the halo photos, the $30,000 sand Obama, the photo of him doing his best Dragon Ball Z trick. It is all just a bit much. If some future photo of him appearing to walk on water surfaces, my health will be jeopardized due to the sheer velocity at which my palm will impact my forehead. Again, it is all just a bit much.

Also, even if I were to believe in him, I suspect everlasting life might be an unrealistic expectation to lay at the feet of Obamacare.

This should be seen as less a sign of some fashion for reverence of the President and more properly as the casual disdain for faith that encompasses Democrat campaigners.

Religion as a prop, faith an affection of gullible fools; for such individuals the idea of God as man used merely for campaign purposes is a clever twist if not a matter of amusement while they snicker at those  who "cling to their gun and their religion."

Hopefully this won't spark riots among "Fundamentalist Christians".

I guess it was just false modesty that he put anything above his paygrade.
