Connie, There was no "fog". No one believed then Senator Obama was the "Messiah" just a better choice than Senator McCain and the Republican Party in general, and most Democrats still do believe this. That big racist windbag, Limbaugh began using that blasphemous term "Messiah" shortly after the 2008 election. After Limbaugh's present life is over, he will have a lot for which he will be held accountable in the next; and, IMO, you should stop using this term also unless you want to be in the same spiritual boat as Limbaugh.
