Gov. Prof. Frederick Lynch on Obamamania

Gov. Prof. Frederick Lynch on the cult of Obama.

Frederick Lynch, professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, said "the crying, cooing and emotionalism" surrounding Obama's campaign does suggest a craze or cult.

"It's well known that the problem for people within a craze -- such as a stock market or real estate boom -- is that you don't know you're in it until it bursts," he said.

The peril for Democrats, Lynch said, is if the Obama bubble bursts after he is nominated but before he is elected.

Yes, we can ... only hope.

I love our government faculty.

I hope his bubble will burst. All this cooing and emotionalism over him annoys me. The man is a politician, just like other politicians. To think otherwise is a delusion.
