You know, it's one thing for the average rube to buy into the Barack Obama as messiah complex with the idea that he'll make their house payments for them and buy them their gas. But you'd think that someone as sophisticated as his Harvard Law-trained wife would be a little more inured to the whole idea. You'd be wrong.

"I am so in," Michelle Obama said toward the end of her remarks. "I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light."

I'd be a little creeped out if my wife worshiped me in this manner. It's almost a cult-like fascination.
