Yesterday, it got spread around the Blogosphere about the numerous "coincidental" fainting episodes and Obama's almost scripted response and readily available bottle of water. Today, Michelle Obama is talking about how her husband will "fix our souls".
With that in mind, I asked Mrs. VW to use Neil Diamond's BROTHER LOVE'S TRAVELING SALVATION SHOW as her inspiration so it's not exactly like the song. Mrs. VW is a professional musician with years of performance experience including Las Vegas.
I think she captures the idea quite well.
Brother O’s Traveling Salvation Show
Travelin’ America
Seeing city and town
The people are comin’
To hear the man’s sound
There are guards everywhere
Keeping him safe
The cries of “messiah”
Are in each place.
They stand in silence
They worship in awe
He steps to the podium
The people moan, “Ahhhh”
To the left of the stage
Faints a little old man
The “messiah” asks,
“Will someone give him a hand?”
It's O, Brother O!
Say Brother O's Savin’ America Show-ow (halle-halle)
Our souls will be saved ‘til we go to our graves
And the people bow low, cuz its Brother O's show
The man is brought water
From the “messiah” himself
He leads by example
To offer his help.
The people are cheering
They are chanting, “you’re great!
We’ve come to hear you
Oh master of fate.”
He opens his lips
His nostrils flare wide
His eyes penetrate deeply
Every soul in his sight.
The crowd is hushed
As they eagerly wait
To hear “messiah’s” hope
For a life that is great.
It's O, Brother O!
Say Brother O's Savin’ America Show-ow (halle-halle)
Our souls will be saved ‘til we go to our graves
And the people bow low, cuz its Brother O's show
The silence is deafening
Every creature is still
The quiet is audible
As they wait for the thrill
Of “messiah’s” message
Of wealth and peace
But there are no words
From his lips that he speaks
For he has no plan
No substance of thought
For the masses who came
To hear what he’d brought
But nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing it seems
And the people, despairing
Took back their dreams
It's O, Brother O!
Say Brother O's Savin’ America Show-ow (halle-halle)
Our souls will be saved ‘til we go to our graves
And the people bow low, cuz its Brother O's show
They came for an experience
They came for a show
They got what they came for
When they heard “Brother O”.
For Obama’s solutions
Are a watery mix
In a weakened clay vessel
That cannot be fixed.
It's O, Brother O!
Say Brother O's Savin’ America Show-ow (halle-halle)
Our souls will be saved ‘til we go to our graves
And the people bow low, cuz its Brother O's show

This is the song that Obama reminds me of.

Barack Obama, Superstar.
Who are you, what kind of change are you are talking about?
Barack Obama, Superstar,
Who are you, what kind of change are you are talking about?
Barack Obama, Superstar
Who are you, what kind of change are you talking about?
Adoph Hitler could really rally those masses, and Olde Joe Stalin could make them walk barefoot through broken glasses, And Ho Chin Minn, he could bring the crowd in, and that Po Pot he know how his words could make them hot...
Now do you believe?
Now Marshall Applewhite made them think that they were going to go to Heaven on a comet, and David Koresh he sent his faithful on a path to Armageddon. And of course we all know about olde Jim Jones. His people did what he told em and that Kool-aid got overflowin...
Now do you believe? (the mesmerized crowd shouts back Yes we Believe) Now do you believe?(louder) Yes, we believe! Hallelujah now get that sister some water (the front row of women then faints).
Barack Obama, Superstar,
Who are you, what kind of change are you are talking about?
Barack Obama, Superstar
Who are you, what kind of change are you talking about?
Now do you see yourself as as Che's Second comin... Or maybe you set yourself up on a path even higher. Perhaps you do see yourself as the new Messiah, start a new religion with your as its idol.
Do you believe?
Cults of personalities well they very rarely end well and with yours it could set the earth a trembling... For when you come unglued as all cult leaders in the end do, you could push that nuclear button and set the earth afire..

You know, I didn't think of that one but it probably fits as well or better! Nice job!
