It isn't the first time people have badly wanted a particular leader.  "Obama's going to bring everyone together!"  "Obama's the one!"  "Oprah wants Obama too!"  In fact, people were so gung-ho on Obama, they didn't even listen to the questions being asked of them in these interviews aired by Howard Stern.  McCain's policies were presented as Obama's, and even though the people queried said they were voting for Obama, they voiced agreement with positions that were overtly not his.  For instance:  "Now how about him being pro-life?  Do you support Obama in that case?"  Answer:  "I do.  I do.  I support him in that case."  And most amazing of all, "Now if Obama wins, do you mind Sarah Palin being vice-president?"  Answer:  "No, I don't."

Is it a surprise that this Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar is a bestselling product on Amazon.com?

A rifle-toting Sarah, no less!  The Alaskan governor's attractive, gutsy outdoorsy look made her instantly popular with millions, just as Obama the Charmer swept an even greater number into pressing the button next to his name.  Too BAD they weren't running together.

The public isn't alone in its confusion ...

Here we have the new Condoleezza Rice, former Senator Hillaarry Clinton (multiplying a few letters in one's name never hurts) ... and she too is evidently a bit confused.  "Forget about Bill ... I'd rather pay attention to the new boss!"  Watch this a few times for maximal enjoyment!
