Churlish right-wingers will likely keep complaining about the “cult of Obama.” I won’t indulge in that easy cynicism. I will note, however, that as I stumbled home, tired and scotch-afflicted for the first time in my life, I talked to one of my best friends about her meeting with a literary agent, and she said roughly the following:
As I often do in weighty moments, I prayed to God — but I kept seeing an image of Barack Obama. I kept saying to myself, “No, God, not Obama,” and I concentrated on images of Christ on the cross. But I kept seeing Obama smiling, until I finally decided that I would just give up and pray to Obama.

Um, so, quick question: By pointing to Reihan’s post am I being churlish for saying this anecdote supports the cult of Obama argument perfectly?

Update: Several readers tell me this was arch sarcasm or some such by Reihan. If so my apologies for not seeing it as it soared high over my head.
