The Obama cult (2008 in the Economist)
“Mr Obama has inspired more passionate devotion than any modern American politician. People scream and faint at his rallies. Some wear T-shirts proclaiming him “The One” and noting that “Jesus was a community organiser”. An editor at Newsweek described him as “above the country, above the world; he’s sort of God.” He sets foreign hearts fluttering, too. A Pew poll published this week finds that 93% of Germans expect him to do the right thing in world affairs. Only 14% thought that about Mr Bush.”

“People scream and faint at his rallies. Some wear T-shirts proclaiming him “The One”...”
Must have been the same homely lib-girls at the Javitz Center crying their eyes out in shocked disbelief when Saint Hillary went down in an epic electoral landslide defeat.
But first they screamed and fainted at Bill Clintons appearances.
Even a half dozen years ago when Bill showed up in upstate NY to stump for Hinchey - they had a fainter.
I bet like anything that Bill could still get a fainter or two.
