He's capable of causing an oil leak in the Gulf. He snaps his fingers and the stock market drops a million points. He smiles and a terrorist decides to try and blow up Times Square (but then he points and causes it to backfire). Now I'm sure they'll say he sneezed and brought about the flood in Nashville.

He's just that good. He's like God - only less vengeful.

2. I think that was a butt scratch
He scratches his butt and the volcano blows up. It just goes to show you how ridiculous it all is.

4. It's only a matter of time...
I mean, he's done all this in just one and a half years of office.

12. Not yet...
One and a half years = 18 months.
It's only been 15 1/2 months so far ;)

11. They are never as good, or as evil, as we are led to believe.
Politicians and elected officials are just people. Some of them have enough charisma to seem larger than life. But they are all just flesh and blood. The republicans know that Obama has charisma. It makes them afraid.

I have met enough politicians to know a few who have charisma. Obama has it. Clinton has it. Back in the day, Jimmy Carter had it. The only two whom I have met who had enough charisma to knock my socks off were Jesse Jackson, Sr. and Bobby Kennedy.

I don't know about charismatic women leaders. I have never met one. I have never met an evil charismatic leader either, like Jim Jones. He had to have had something. A college friend of mine became a follower. She could do nothing but sing his praises. She drank the kool-aid and died at Jonestown.

17. Yes, charisma is the key to great leaders.
Obama, however, combines charisma with intelligence and hard work.

If I could meet him, I'd rag on him a bit for some of his moves ... starting with his emulation of Lincoln's cabinet! But I must admit, I think we're lucky to have him.

14. Well if Obama is responsible for the DOW dip today, then he's also responsible for its epic rise...
... except wingnut logic doesn't work that way, does it?
