Instapundit mentions that people are fainting at Obama rallies. Wow! What a powerful influence he must have!
When was the last time that a politician was so charismatic? Many years ago, I recall seeing an interview with William L. Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Shirer was an American journalist in Germany at the time of Hitler's rise to power. Shirer discussed the memerizing influence Hitler had on those present at his speeches--and how women would faint in his presence. There are a number of accounts that I can find that mention this powerful effect that Hitler had on women (using the rather quaint word "swoon"): like this one, and this one (quoting from one of Shirer's other books).
I'm not saying that Obama is Hitler. I'm saying that the level of emotion about Obama means that rationality has gone completely out the door--and that's a very dangerous situation.
