This just in: Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama makes us feel better. That's the way marketing guru and host of CNBC's "The Big Idea" Donny Deutsch sees it.
Deutsch appeared on CNBC's Election Night coverage to explain how the country needs a hug and Obama was just the right guy to do - in his psychoanalysis of the nation's temperament.
"I'm going to go back to his dad," Deutsch said. "I'm going to go back to his dad - I think people are looking for a kinder gentler nation. I think whoever gets in there - for two reasons - number one, we've got two countries, so nobody is getting in with 58 percent, 42 percent - whatever the Electoral College goes. We all know it's going to be a few points. Secondly, you have a frightened populace right now. We all know that - we've been calling that for the last eight weeks. And you need a commander in chief that's going to give the country a hug."

This is positively insipid. Period.
The country has been wussified. In that case, Mr. Obama is the perfect leader.
I think it was Mr. Jefferson that said something like, “a country that can give you everything, can also take everything you have(that’s from memory).”

I think it was Mr. Jefferson that said something like, a country that can give you everything, can also take everything you have(thats from memory). It was actually Gerald Ford who said it, about 150 years after Jefferson died.
