I think we're still collectively boggled by the last few posts from Major Tom.

That's odd. I honestly believed it was just me.

They call themselves seamstresses -Feet Of Clay@rjung: Major Tom is not the topic, nor is any other troper. That goes for the rest of you, too.
And yes, this is going a bit too far away from the topic. Back to Obama's leadership, please.
A brighter future for a darker age.Not originally, but currently. But topic, and being off it; PM me if you want.
Personally, I don't think he is a great leader, but I don't think anyone who made a serious bid for the 2008 presidency would have been any better, and most of them would have been worse.
A brighter future for a darker age.It's pretty darn close to an automatic nomination.
Not totally close, because the Democrats won't work as an actual party, and so some idiot may try to run against him, but he'll almost certainly get the nomination.
Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.The last time I asked about this
, the most recent time somebody won the nomination against a sitting incumbant was Johnson in 1968, and the ONLY time somebody ever won the election after being nominated in such a way was Pierce in 1853.
I hope he'll win, so hopefully he'll actually do something, and ignore the republicans.

Why should he do anything? Him doing nothing works so well he was given a Nobel Prize for it
Given the fact that he started more military intervention, I propose that Nobel Prize Commitee takes it from him and gives it to me, as I never participated in any war (other than Flame War) and probably never will. I deserve it more!

Guys this seems to be spiralling off topic at an alarming rate.
The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.
