the apostle of fennell
Is Barack Obama the Messiah has another classic moment from Elle associate publisher Samantha Fennell. She has left her position to become a devoted disciple of the Obama campaign.
Barack Obama must be elected President of the United States. It's his worldview, his clarity of judgment, and his just plain right-mindedness that resonate with me. Figuring that my efforts were best spent raising money for the campaign, I have thrown myself into a new world--one in which fluffy chatter and frivolous praise are replaced by a get-to-the-point directness and disciple-like devotion. It's intense and intoxicating. ...In the grand scheme of things the world isn't going to change because of the next administration. The President doesn't weld supreme world authority. Despite the adoration from the press and the derangement from people like Samantha Fennell Obama is tied with McCain. What will all these devoted disciples do if Obama loses? Will all the love from the press and psychotic messiah episodes from shallow minded people up hurting Obama in November? One thing is for certain. Senator Obama is going to be a political force regardless of what happens in November.
