If we're talking about Huckabee, I thought he would have made a crappy president too, and I was damn glad he got shoved out of the race.

Much of Obama's backing right now is irrational. You seem to think that's no problem, and that if we elect a "Man on a White Horse" (note the horse in the background of the picture) that's just fine. And yes, I DO know that reference.

I could make you a nice list of leaders through history who were immensely popular with their followers. At first. I don't consider personal magnetism, compelling speaking ability, or physical appeal to be a major plus in a leader. Humanity has been there, done that.

Obama isn't going to turn into one of the bad ones. He's not clever enough, and he's not evil. But you can't tell me it doesn't bother you that there are so many people in this country hungry for that Man on the White Horse. We might not be so lucky next time.
