Why think someone is "pissed off" because they are wiling to engage in a debate or present an alternate point of view? I know the guy, seething and pissed off he is not, good natured and intelligent he is. |

I can concur with that having met the man and dined in your beautiful home. There just seems to be a disconnect with words posted here and the real person. I'm sure Mik and Larry are good guys to hang out with as well. Sorry for the poke. |

I'm sure he's a nice person too. But it's not debate when there's no room for debate. And it's not intelligent when you insinuate that a President pereceives himself as some sort of Messiah when there's a well documented track record of photographers framing leaders in clever backgrounds. |

Thanks NS. I think maybe some people miss that IT has an academic debate style. I remember the discussions and debates with his fellow doctoral candidates, I had no idea what they were talking about half the time and needed a dictionary, but they were all good natured about it. |

When there's no room for debate? Says who? You have to allow that people may wish to present different views on a subject. The exchange of ideas is a good thing. |

Methinks IT is relying on the Sarcrastic method. I totally pwn3d him. Academics don't know how to take getting pwn3d. |

Until this evening I never really noticed the extent to which religious symbolism is employed in selling US politics to the masses. |

I usually try to read the whole thread before I reply Mik. I dunno, go about 10 posts back: "I'm sure Mik and Larry are good guys to hang out with as well. Sorry for the poke." Thanks for the birthday wishes though.

It's a bit rich for BO to be preaching that what with his expanding faith-based programs. |

You really need to learn to follow an argument before making accusations against others. I never said Obie perceives himself as a messiah figure. You asked what his agenda was and I noted that he probably doesn't have an agenda as such to remove crucifixes, but rather that "it is his handlers' agenda to control the PR side of things. They understand the importance of symbology..." The fact that Bush or anyone does the same does not detract from the explanation that they are using symbology to communicate things. I am sorry if that is too difficult of a concept for you to grasp. You seem to confuse something that to you is personally unintelligible for "not intelligent". |

Yeah, I can relate. In person you don't come across like a brain dead liberal.

His PR handlers obviously didn't think it was important enough to inform him of the proper way to stand when the National Anthem is played, and they didn't seem to think it was important to tell him that he wasn't supposed to bow to a monarch. |

So what was the context of the reference to "The Anointed One"? The pictures you posted seemed to confirm where I figured you were going with it. |
