Benedict XVI - A Real Leader

As we know, politics is seven eighths perception, one eighth reality. Like the now-famous "Obama Rally" - yeah, right - that was actually preceded by a rock concert. Never mind that the pictures made it appear the hungering pack was there lapping up his ontological substantiality. My personal definition of a successful politician coaligns with mimetic theory: he sees what direction the mob is headed and jumps out in front of it.

Matthew Archbold at Creative Minority Report breathes some fresh air into the rancid political atmosphere with this insight: He’s So Out of Touch!

UPDATE: Andrea Mitchell reports that the Obama campaign machine during his Middle East tour provided only ”fake interviews.”
