I thought I would put this in apostasy because the statement is, once again, about the adulation of a man, instead of God. Obama is given the credit for the way 2 American Idol contestants (a rocker and a Bible believing Christian) have become friends.
I'm not surprised at the liberal slant of the article but it never ceases to amaze me how the blinded see Obama as a type of savior. American Idol has nothing to do with Obama. In fact, this season's competition began 6 months before Obama took office. The Grace and Mercy of God is a wonderful thing to behold, it has nothing to do with man and everything to do with God.
The friendship between the two finalists suggests that tolerance can trump ideology, a powerful sentiment that echoes President Obama's suggestion that bridging differences could be more effective than trying to eradicate them.
"This is part of the spirit and ethos of an America after Obama. His whole rhetoric fits into the desires of our political culture after such a divisive period. And that's also playing itself out on 'Idol,' " said Tongson.
