what i really wanted to say was:

since when did barack obama become the new hannah montana?  he's already got the mass hysteria fainting spells, all he needs now is a blonde wig.  when politics = ridiculously illogical frenzy over a candidate, people like adolf hitler take over based on the power of good public speaking ability and hype.    Funny, the absolute worst thing that could happen in a democratic process is the exact thing every campaign manager holds as a best case scenario for their candidate.

not that barack is necessarily an evil dude.  im just saying... there was such a thing as hitlermania at one point, too.
