Ortega Joins the Cult of Obama
No one can ever say that Barack Obama doesn't inspire enthusiasm. His near-cult following is constantly hailed in the American press. Thousands come out to hear him speak at campaign rallies. Celebrities, like Oprah, Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Sharon Stone, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck, Will Smith, Rob Reiner...and the list goes on, flock to him.
Now, the case could certainly be made that many, perhaps most of his followers are enamored by his personality, speaking ability, charm, and -dare I say it?- his race.
Many, perhaps most, have no idea what a President Barack Obama would mean for this country.
There is, however, one person who knows exactly what a President Barack Obama would mean, and he's gushing with excitement at the prospect. That person is Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.
The leader of the leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front commented that with Obama the United States is "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change."
Ortega is a man who was supported by the former Soviet Union. He is a man who, upon his return to power in 2006, received congratulations from Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who said Ortega's election "fills our people with joy, at the same time filling the terrorist and genocidal government of the United States with opprobrium." Ortega is a man who has been buddying up with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.
This is a man who is almost intoxicated with joy at the thought of Barack Obama becoming the President of the United States.
What does that tell you?

I hadn't heard that Ortega had slithered back into offce.
Glenn Beck's mother always told Glenn, "Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future."
How appropriate.
I kind of wish Conservatives and Evangelicals would have noticed Mitt Romney's friends... Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, The staff of "National Review"... and others that could pick my president for me any day of the week.
President Obama... Chilling.
