You could say that about any political leader though. There were people that felt like Bush was the new messiah (if you can remember that far back, before he was villified and potentially rightly so), there are people that have their heads shoved so far up McCain or Palin's butts that they can't see straight. You're going to have that with anyone. Some of Obama's followers are Nutty McNuttersons. So is Ann Coulter. So there you go.
TexasWSP's comment was inappropriate and did not add any intelligent thought to the discussion. Even though there were good thoughts in the comment, it was lost in all the "Black Jesus" crap every other word.
ETA: I took a look at the video - at first I was like "it's a step show - neat." Then - I don't know. It's obviously meant to be based on stepping/marching. But I don't think it's Obama's version of the Hitler youth. It seems closer to a bunch of kids trying to find a culturally relevant way to say that they support Obama. Not sure though.
