FDR's idea worked. It worked for 998 news conferences during the course of little over twelve years in office.

However, OP, by creating this thread you are basically asking all of the ignoramuses around here to come and chime in why they think Obama is a fraud.

How can someone praise Obama when he isn't in office yet.
His personality is captivating. And, furthermore, the man is obviously intelligent. All in all, he seems to be a smart, politically astute, charismatic, and thoroughly decent fellow.
Juxtapose this with his incredible good fortune these last few years, and one cannot but wonder if he is a man of destiny. And if he has decided that his destiny is to be the 44th President, who are we to question him?
...
What Obama seems to offer is a respite from pettiness as a necessary prelude for policy breakthroughs. Seen in the context of his legislative record, his offer to the public is not a substantive transcendence of partisan politics. It is, rather, a spiritual transcendence from small-minded partisan sentimentality. He does not necessarily view the world differently from the most senior, or most liberal, members of his caucus. Rather, he has a personal orientation to the other side that is more congenial - that recognizes that their point of view, even if it might be wrong, is nevertheless valid and honest. He intends to change the tone.
No one can deny that he is a great man, something is special about this guy.

The Major holds President-Elect Obama in the highest esteem and couldn't praise him more. Who but Obama could dupe more than 50% of the electorate? Bill Clinton couldn't, but the smooth shyster Obama could.
Nothing is more praise worthy of the criminal enterprise that was the Obama fund raising machine. With Mafioso precision they accepted illegal contributions from foreign nationals, fictitious individuals and those that had reached their maximum contributions. For style points they managed to do all this without even a hint of investigation by the FEC much less any sanctions.
President-Elect Obama has already showed his hand, or should the Major say iron fist sans velvet glove. The impending legislation and fiats that will enslave this country regarding every aspect of daily life; speech, the right to bear arms, financial freedoms and personal wealth. The Major would dare say that the only acceptable civilian actions in four years will be a late term abortion, and defecating on a crucifix.
Yes, the Major lauds and praises the "Chosen One." He has pulled more wool over more eyes, conned more con men, and has out shilled the shills; allowing him to rise to high office via high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Major thus concludes his fanboi adulation of the Messiah.
Dismissed.
