jamies obviously a fan
and hes a comedian

seems clear to me he was trying to be exhuberant and funny

harmless

Well I guess it is funny for Jamie Foxx in an exalted way.

you dont REALLY think Jamie Foxx worships, prays to or exalts Obama do you?

c'mon, he was being an entertainer in that moment

The tweets are funny....many of them I follow. Love the one about Judas having the share the 30 pieces of silver. Good luck with that pal.

Black Dems went through the election too, and heard the stuff said about them nearly worshiping Obama from the Reps. This is taking that and making a joke of it. (Better way of coping than getting angry...because being told repeatedly that the only reason you're voting for Obama is because he's black, is pretty demeaning.)

Yes Patti being told repeatedly that the only reason you're voting for Obama is because he is black is demeaning and what is more demeaning is when like say those blacks who do vote for Romney were blasted because of it. I think of that young black actress.................... http://www.mediaite.com/tv/barbara-walters-on-stacey-dash-backlash-if-she-were-white-this-wouldnt-have-happened/

Instead of Jamie Fox's Jesus declaration of Obama there should be more blacks that stand up for those blacks who don't. The premise is out there Patti and no defense of the contrary is evident.

for those blacks that dont what?

Demeaning comments are common, but I don't see that as any excuse for being part of it. I don't think that Jamie Fox did that though....I think he did what he does, as a comic, and made a joke.

Heck, if I walk past someone and they're saying "Jesus" or some such thing, I say "No, but close." or "well I'm god to my kids". ((((When I was Christian, I used to say "He's in all of us".....with the same sort of intent.))))

The purpose being to perhaps make the person that's having a bad moment smile.

While at the same time, I try (somewhat unsuccessfully) to teach my kids not to say such things. I'd rather hear them use the S*** word, or D**** words, than references to god. I pick my battles though.

My preference is Mercy, but I too default to the usually ones in Real moments.

funny
but here's another article about the "cult" of Obama
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/092112-626731-creepy-obama-cult-of-personality.htm

I just wonder if there's some people that would actually drink poison for this guy if he told them to

"cult of personality" applies to any President, movie star, or celebrated athlete

but the comment about drinking poison is a little over the top

I have a feeling if you Google image "Bush flag" you'll see stuff not that far off, pro Bush stuff put over top of the flag

this isnt really something to be worried about Jeff

the guy won the election with a very slim margin and a not so high approval rating

that demonstrates he isnt as popular as you, or the op-ed pieces youre reading want to believe
