This is scary.
Spike needs to get a grip.
SPIKE LEE: But here's the way I look at things: I say, it's very simple. You have B.B.: Before Barack. A.B.: After Barack.
...I think this thing is pre-deortained, or whatever you want to call... I'm not gonna say that it's God, but this is not a mistake this is happening now. I don't think it's a mistake it's happening that he's here where this country is at its lowest in many, many years.
Barack Obama is not Jesus Christ.
B.B. and A.B.?
If Obama is elected, will it still be 2008 or will the calendar change?

Heh...I've heard him before, in an interview after the DNC, use the BB AB line. What it amounts to is BS.
I can understand supporting a candidate, but this worshipping of Obama is truly bizarre.
And some people think it's bizarre to worship a guy whose been dead 2000+ years. To be perfectly honest......
The sun is setting as I sit down with Barack Obama, the next President of the United States in his hotel room. Obama drinks from a water bottle and leans back in his chair. He is tired but still alert after a long day of campaigning. His face is relaxed and content. “We are almost there,” he tells me.
Election Day is two weeks away. The sun may be setting on this particular day but it is clear to all but a few that a new day is beginning soon not only for America but for the world.
It has been six months since I joined the Obama campaign. Sometimes it feels like lifetime ago. So much has happened. There has been a great deal of traveling and I’ve seen more of America than I have ever cared to see. I am still astounded by how large this backwards and flawed nation is. I express this to Senator Obama.
“I understand. Believe me, I feel the same way.” Obama pauses and puts down the water bottle and rubs his eyes with both hands. “There is so much that I must do and sometimes I don’t know if eight years will be enough.”
The McCain people continue to claim Obama is a Socialist or that he will take money from plumbers. “They do not understand,” Obama says. “I wish sometimes I could just grab one of them by the shoulders and just yell, ‘wake up and get with the program!’”.
“Some people get it, a lot of them actually. They know what I must do. America is broken. Look at the rallies.” And he’s right. I don’t believe any of his appearances this week attracted less than 10,000 people.
“We have walked down a long path and I don’t mean just you and me. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, W. E. B. Dubois, they all started the path and I can finish it”.
I tell Obama the legend of Amon-Ra, a God of ancient Egypt who attains the characteristics of all other gods. “Sometimes you remind me of him,” I tell him.
Obama smiles and looks out the window. Outside is America; a land that needs a wise and just leader.
He is coming.
