Interesting post from Frank Schaeffer (son of the famed evangelical guru Francis Schaeffer). Schaeffer’s piece does have a whiff of the Obama-as-messiah meme, though, with its insistence that Obama can lead us to a “spiritual rebirth, a turning away from the false value of consumerism and utilitarianism that have trumped every aspect of human life. […] to stop seeing ourselves as consumers […] to stop seeing ourselves as me and begin to think of we.”

Is this something the president can really do? Or should try to do? How about just executing the laws and upholding the Constitution for a change?
