Obama of Oz

I'm sure I'm not the first person to coin that phrase...I couldn't possibly be. But, this is why I think it fits him so perfectly:

1) Everyone thinks he can give them their hearts desire. But what we don't realize is, we, as Americans, have the courage, heart, brains, and home we need. It is within ourselves; we don't need big government to provide and take care of us.
2) He is bigger than life. Everyone is in awe of him. He is presented as all powerful and wise, but look behind the curtain, people. He is only a man with smoke and mirrors.

He is a showman, a snake oil seller, a man of questionable ethics. In Oz (or DC) he is basically a God.

He is a politician who is trying to play a Wizard. With a wave of his pen, the dow plunges into a record low. Scarecrow, please lend him a brain!

And...lend the rest of us the heart and courage to not go quietly home....
