Senator Max Baucus (D-MT):

"It's just so wonderful to hear him speak, it's like a symphony"

Yeah... that's ONE analogy. Let's try some more.

Listening to Obama speak is like...

... that eternally long half-second between when you realize you're going to hit the car in front of you, and the first musical tinklings of glass & metal.

... accidentally hitting "delete", then accidentally hitting "yes" on the "are you sure?" dialog box.

... pouring milk on your cereal and watching earwigs float to the top.

... passing an exit, rounding a curve, and joining a 12-mile traffic jam.

... fumbling for a light switch and finding a wall socket

... hearing that creaking, ripping sound a tree branch makes as it separates from the trunk prior to coming through your roof.

... a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced..

... noticing the empty toilet paper roll before standing up instead of before sitting down.

... dropping a butcher knife, but keeping it from hitting the floor with a deftly-executed blade-first catch.

... hearing that awful tearing sound that inevitably accompanies stuffing 10 pounds of arrogant into a 5 pound bag.

... watching the First Lady serve soup to homeless people while wearing $540 shoes.

... listening to something with angry German facial hair... not sure what, exactly...

What's it like for you?
