That the Barack Obama Movement inspires zen-like questions perhaps is appropriate, as Obama drives others toward meaninglessness in the same way that zen aspires to nothingness.

Still, I didn’t realize the sound of no hands clapping sounded so much like clapping.

Red State’s write up of the video proof of Obama’s dishonesty is annoying, so I won’t go over those points. What it does show is the increasingly pedestrian fact that Barack Obama is just another politician, willing to betray friends, fail to condemn bigotry, and deceive in order to win elections.

(This point should be obvious, but is denied enough to merit a blog post or two. I hope no one reads this post in a way that gives legitimacy or esteem to those who believe that Obama is a transcendent figure.)
