Obamessiah Hyperbole

Just how out-of-control is the hyperbole surrounding the nomination of Barack Obama? One congressman thinks he deserves a new chapter in the Bible:

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), son of the one-time presidential contender, said Obama’s victory overwhelmed him.

“I cried all night. I’m going to be crying for the next four years,” he said. “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. ... The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”

I suggest the chapter be added to Revelations. That's a good place for a story of an unqualified, inexperienced man's rise to power thanks to a blindered voting public. It will be the end of America as we know it.
