Barack Obama is an elevator Muzak dinner-theater reduction of all the glibbest hand-me-down myths in liberal iconography ...

Dean Barnett calls Obama "The Magical Democrat"
there's something about him that encourages his supporters to consider the impossible achievable.Be sure to read Obama's recent speech on "economic policy".
