Well, both as a Barack supporter and a Superman fan somehow I knew the media would start connecting the two positively or negatively. For example, this article from the Western Courier.

Do we have a messiah complex when it comes to Barack Obama or is this simply another spin by the media as they grasp for reasons to tarnish his image since they haven't dug up some other skeleton in his closet?
Personally I think the writer here is reading way to much into the crowds reactions. He does bring up some fair enough points. However, I think most people supporting Barack are people who are tired of having their intelligence doubted and insulted by government and media. We KNOW he can't solve all of our problems nor I think do we expect him to.
The realization of new ideas begins with a leadership willing to listen to and execute them. Barack is not a scientist. He can't cure global warming. But he does take it very seriously and I believe he would insure that solutions would be heard and implemented.
As far as "idol" status. Look, if anything that should tell you NOT that his supporters are crazed fanatics viewing him as the second coming. What it DOES show is that there is such a gigantic void of honesty, genuiness, and inspiration in our political landscape that when we finally come upon an example of that then yes of course Americans find it very exciting! Not because we're stupid and easily distracted. But because it's something we NEED in our leaders!
Now I leave you with this. Media, government, doubters and haters is it really so bad that there is a Presidential candidate who makes one believe we can fly?
