Yes, some of the Kos Kidz really are this far gone: Daily Kos: Obama is our Lincoln.

Barack Obama is nothing less than our era’s Abraham Lincoln. �I do not think this is an exaggeration. �In his words, temperment, and actions, there is no figure in American history that Barack Obama resembles more than Lincoln. �

We should have known this all along. �A 33-year old man does not write “Dreams From My Father” without being unusually emotionally intelligent, grounded, courageous, reflective, and sincere — just as Lincoln could not have written his Second Inaugural without these attributes.

We thankfully are not in the midst of actual Civil War, and so an Obama presidency will never be as historically important as Lincoln’s was. …

But — and I say this as someone who first prayed that Al Gore would jump in this race and then later on supported Hillary Clinton — Obama is not an ordinary politician. �He is not even an extraordinary politician. �He is on a different plane entirely. �To call him a “politician” of any kind is inapt.

I don’t want to Godwin myself out, but this kind of idolization of a politician is more than a little creepy.
