Here’s what I think. The man calling himself Barack Hussein Obama is actually a performance artist by the name of Reginald Willins, a 43 year old street mime from Tucson Arizona, who got together with some friends and concocted a life out of whole cloth. It was his goal to run a joke campaign poking fun at both major political parties, most especially at their socialist leanings.

Having, much to his surprise, actually won election to the highest office in the land, Reggie is now seeing how far he can go before somebody notices his policies are basically a spoof of socialist thinking. Unfortunately for poor Mr. Willins, there is nothing so outrageous, so extreme that somebody won’t take it seriously.
