On the subject of “Obama Fever”…

…our friend 2rth2pwr made this observation (and very graciously allowed us to post it here):

“Fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body’s thermoregulatory set-point, usually by about 1–2°C….Carl Wunderlich discovered that fever is not a disease but a symptom of disease.”

Obama Fever is characterized by hallucinations of actual substance, warm and fuzzy feelings created from speeches about nothing. When gripped by the fever people are unable to describe, what exactly Obama has said that caused this condition. Victims are characterized by dilated pupils and the belief that his words are enough to make change happen. One sure sign that the fever has taken hold is if criticism of Obama is presented to a person with the fever, they will react by either complete avoidance or with fevered charges of racism.
