I think they should all just imitate John Kerry’s dorky salute and mouth ‘Reporting for duty’. Nothing will ever be stranger than that was.

* Wants Secret Police force - Check
* Somebody powerful people think they can control - Check
* Often dismissed as a light-weight by his opponents - Check
* Seeks to replace God with the State - Check
* People adopting his name as their own - Check

My wife is as non-political as they come. I showed her the new Obama sign. Her first words were “It looks like an a**hole”

I just about died from laughing...
