While interning in DC during the summer of 2006, I attended a Middle East policy forum at the Cato Institute. An old lady passed out in the aisle, and all the panelists just kept talking. No one really altered their behavior at all. But I guess that’s Libertarianism for you.

Obama’s response is far superior.

Adoph Hitler could really rally those masses, and Olde Joe Stalin could make them walk barefoot through broken glasses, And Ho Chin Minn, he could bring the crowd in, and that Po Pot he know how his words could make them hot…

Now do you see yourself as as Che’s Second comin… Or maybe you set yourself up on a path even higher. Perhaps you do see yourself as the new Messiah, start a new religion with you as its idol.

Do you believe?

Cults of personalities well they very rarely end well and with yours it could set the earth a trembling… For when you come unglued as all cult leaders in the end do, you could push that nuclear button and set the earth afire..
