We've seen the Obamacized media call President Obama Lincoln, we've heard him called FDR and Kennedy, we've been informed that he gives newsers a thrill up their leg. The media has even ridiculously called Barack Obama a "light worker." He is The One, their Obammessiah. Well, we can now add another undue adulation to the media's obsession of finding great figures to compare Obama to: Mahatma Gandhi. At least according to the New Yorker's Hendrick Hertzberg he is, anyway.
In a piece from February 23, headlined "Partisanship, by the bye," Hertzberg likened Obama's work on the so-called stimulus bill to a "Gandhian" effort because it is going so swimmingly for The One.
This is all merely an effort by Hertzberg to absolve Obama for his failure to govern in the bi-partisan way he claimed he'd undertake and to gain any measurable Republican support for the biggest pork barrel spending bill ever brought before the people, a bill falsely described as an economic stimulus bill. It doesn't matter that this bill is not a bi-partisan bill, Hertzberg claims, because Obama did try to get GOP support...

The only thing missing here is (Barf Alert!).
More like a cross of Little Lord Fauntleroy and Karl Marx ...
Like Ghandi?
You mean he drinks his own urine?
I can believe that.
Gandhi opposed socialism and communism and preferred capitalism to socialism. India’s first Prime Minister, Nehru who was a Communist, has attacked Gandhi for this in his autobiography.
Indira Gandhi declared The Emergency to seize total power in the late 70s. I think Hertzberg meant to compare Obama's huge federal powergrab in the Porkulus bill to The Emergency.
Ghandi was enormously sexually promiscuous. On a par with JFK.
Obama? I doubt it. Not with girls anyway.
Though Gandhi shunned politics I think.

From the wiki
Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoned passion or love; addictive love. Usually one is inspired with an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone.
Infatuation is a common emotion characterized by unrealistic expectations of blissful passion without positive relationship growth or development. Infatuation is distinguished by a lack of trust, loyalty, commitment, and reciprocity. In the case of infatuation, there is more often than not an obsessor and an object of desire (generally unattainable). One may come to the conclusion that unlike love, infatuation is not usually mutual.
Maybe they mean Sanjay Gandhi, or possibly Rajiv Gandhi.
how about, “Lil carpetbaggin oreo”
