Funny you’d say that.
Have you seen “Gangs Of New York”?

The “election” insanity [although historically pretty accurate] looked a Monty Python skit.

"Gangs of New York" contained some fictions about culture for that period (public displays of extreme sexual pathologies,...) and some events that didn't happen (Navy firing canon at rioters, exaggerated murder rate,...), but you're right about the election insanity. That movie was was a hoot! I really enjoyed many of the lines in it.

I don't watch much television at all and tend to have paid attention mostly to various claims and some of the rhetorical gimmicks used in the campaigns. ...reads like some of the wilder British tabloids at times.

Regarding Obama, while only listening to the sound and inflections of his voice, remember how the "Morpheus" character in the second "Matrix" movie sounded while making his loud speech. And there you'll have it.
