The Obama fan club has obnubilated their view of the upcoming election and cannot see the shark infested waters they swim in.

Or, to quote Brody in "Jaws 2": "But I'm telling you, and I'm telling everybody at this table that that's a shark! And I know what a shark looks like, because I've seen one up close. And you'd better do something about this one, because I don't intend to go through that hell again!"

Convinced that his popularity was eternal, Obama responded by saying, yes, but there's a "big difference" between 1994 and 2010, and that big difference is "you've got me."

The funny thing is, Obama might have been right. Because things might be much worse for Democrats in 2010 than they were in 1994 -- and the big difference might well be Barack Obama.

Obama-our values? Annihilate!
When I hear him, I gag, hyperventilate
Though his record sure sucks
I’d bet millions of bucks
That the mainstream will hide it, obnubilate
