If you ever have time to go to a library archives of Time Magazine, the New York Times or any major media, they all gushed about how he was a ladies man, a dynamic speaker, a gentlemanly dresser, a man of impeccable manners and fine taste in wine and music and even a health-conscious non-smoker ahead of his time. They didn't even start to smell the coffee until he unleashed the murderous crystal night on the Jewish shopowners in November 1938. And it wasn't until he invaded Russia in June 1941 that they fully woke up.

What I am suffering from is the winds of OBAMAWIND!
