He’s been an activist lawyer and a politician who hasn’t even finished one term in the US Senate, but somehow Barack Obama is a “hero” because he’ll make your hopes and dreams come true and stuff.

“We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama,” Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Obama, “for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero,” Lucas said.

One good thing for those of us who don’t want to see Obama anywhere near the Oval Office is that when the liberal left’s messiah is forced to actually talk policy he makes such an ass of himself that it’s hard to imagine him getting elected to anything more auspicious than dog catcher.

The bad thing, though, is that the fawning and adoration for Obama from the media may never abate long enough before the election for any substantive debate about policy to take place.
