Obama as been given rock star status.http://www.strongerthandeath.net/2008/02/obama-christ-of-all-rock-stars-or.html
While I agree with your first paragraph, I almost think you are too polite.
He is famous for no reason. He says nothing that a junior high student could say. He believes the press corps adoration, as well as his own press releases.
This proves he lacks the ability to think.
I hope the citizens of this country start to think.
