Is Senator Obama Morpheus?

[Aviation Pro]

Not to put a film spin on probably the most historic and important election our country is seen, but I think one of elements that is fueling the Obama campaign is "The Matrix" effect. Senator Obama shares one of the core principles of Morpheus, belief, and he is an absolute genius in sharing that belief.

The question is, who is Neo?

1. His followers think they are Neo

And I guess Hillary is the oracle (first movie) telling him he's not the one.

"Sorry kid... you've got the gift, but I don't think you know what you want."

2. His followers think they are in Zion....

...

[Renew Deal]

6. Actually, Hillary is Agent Smith

[Aviation Pro]

8. No, I believe that Senator Clinton is....

...Morpheus' rival in Zion.

13. Naw, Mitt Romney is Agent Smith...

14. Neo = One, Obama = Amabo ... a Mob.

Morpheus went to Hades to save the soul of Persephone. (Or, was it Hermes?)

Obama will go to Hell to save the soul of America.

3. I guess Neo would be all the voters who he's trying to get to take the blue pill.

Or was it the red pill? It's been a while since I've seen it.

4. Red pill for reality, blue pill to live in fairy tale land....

[Mojambo]

Okay, so I had it backwards. Thanks n/t

5. * * * I got it! His followers are TRINITY!

"The oracle said that I would fall in love with the one, so you see... you must be the one because I love you."

Obama is Neo.

Morpheus must be Reverend Wright.

[Aviation Pro]

7. That would make the Senator Neo....

...I believe he is Morpheus.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. No, Lawrence Tribe is Morpheus

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. ... or David Axlerod

[bunnies]

10. ummm.

I dont remember seeing an "I Love Barack" thread on DU lately. Just saying.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

12. It's hard for people who have fainted to post on DU

[bunnies]

19. Oh... come now.

Its mind-blowing to have people respond like that to a politician. The bigger picture is that young kids are getting involved in the process. How is that not a good thing?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

22. I didn't say it's bad... I said that Obama-mania is a luv thang

[bunnies]

28. And Hillary Mania isnt?

21. ROTFL!!!!!

:spray:

9. There has to be a Cypher:

Maybe Hillary Clinton, or better yet, James Carville...

Yeah. Carville looks like Cypher - he just needs that little goatee...

[yardwork]

16. Oh for God's sake.

Good grief. I think I've read everything now.

Please, people. Get a grip.

[Aviation Pro]

17. Why?

There a whole lot of unreality going on anyway. Indulging in a little metaphysical discussion is cleansing.

[Maddy McCall]

18. Oh. My. God.

Ridiculous. Some people have too much time on their hands.

:rofl:

[Aviation Pro]

20. Read Post #17....

...and lighten up.

[yardwork]

23. How do you know we're not light? I'm laughing my ass off at this thread.

[Maddy McCall]

25. Me, too!

I hope it keeps going....it's so silly!

:rofl:

[Aviation Pro]

29. Or it's more real than you think...

...I remember the end scene of Matrix 2 when Neo confronts the Architect and images of President Insane played in the background with images of the war. Are you so sure you should be laughing?

[yardwork]

30. Stop. This is killing me. I can't breathe!

:rofl:

[Aviation Pro]

31. Well here we are, typing in cyberspace....

...under assumed names with millions of bytes of data traveling throughout the world in what can only be considered an alternative universe.

Keep laughing, eventually you'll get the metaphor.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

24. Stop dissing this thread. Metaphor's a powerful and beautiful tool for thinking about complex things

[Aviation Pro]

27. Thanks...

....Senator Obama could lock up the election with some cool wire Kung Fu.
