MASS HYSTERIA!You’ve heard, haven’t you, about the epidemic of faintings at Obama rallies? Not sure how many times its happened .. four, maybe five. But what is going on here? Well, you know the answer to that question, don’t you? It’s mass hysteria. Obama is the new Beatles. Women get so overcome with emotion upon seeing their idol that the excitement just overtakes them and they faint.

I would love to get one of these fainting females and, after they’ve had a nice meal and a few deep breaths, ask them a few questions:

• What does Obama stand for? And don’t say “hope and change.” Those are non-answers.
• Can you tell me two specific policy initiatives Obama has proposed? See if you can get past national health care and higher taxes on the evil rich.
• Name three Obama accomplishments — and being elected Senator doesn’t count .. there are 99 others in office right now who pulled that one off.

What would you get from the fainters? They would sit there like brook trout, their mouths hanging open and gills gently flapping in the current while they tried to figure out an answer that wouldn’t make them appear more ignorant than they already do.

What is Barack Obama? At this point he’s not much more than a campaign speech.

Hysteria and emotion .. now that’s the way to elect the leader of the free world.
