i think there's a danger of turning the presidency and the political importance surrounding the position into something of a fashion show. i'd rather see people obsessing over celebrities when the obsession is more suitable for celebrities. i'd rather see people obsessing over obama's actual actions rather than flipping out with joy over what kind of dog he'll get and whether his family will join the local gym.

that said, i think it's completely retarded to throw out the word "messiah." there should be a new godwin's law for that. it's the most hyperbolic interpretation of celebrity idolization and it's almost insultingly "pearls to the swine" in its condescention.
