Humint Events Online: Obamania!

Obamania!

It seems to be quite the phenomenon-- he seems to have the cult of personality required to be a winning candidate. In many ways, Obama reminds me of Bill Clinton-- important parallels are the absence of his natural father when growing up, the legal background, the charisma, the brains, the drug-use, the ability to appeal to blacks. What seems to be missing from Obama is the womanizing, thankfully.

His politics doesn't thrill me, but a black "liberal" president would give something of a lift for the country, no matter how doomed we may be.

His mother's genes may even make him viable for the presidency for those interested in blood-lines (not me-- the powers that be).

And... this Frank Rich column is actually pretty good-- hard to argue with it.

And also, on the Republican side, I have to admit Mike Huckabee is kind of refreshing, even if I couldn't imagine voting for him.

UPDATE: I forgot this story-- that Obama does have the right genes as he is related to Dick Cheney.

What makes you think that Obama would be a liberal or "liberal" president?
Jesse, yes. Al Sharpton, yes. Obama? no way.

Huckabee IS refreshing, but Ron Paul is more so.

perfect for consolidating the gains of the last 8 years by improving the image of the U.S. in the 3rd World.

This article quotes some disturbing statements by Obama.
