Can Obama be as great as Fonzie? No

There is a lot of belief that Obama can make the world a better place. In my memory, I can't think of a time when so many things were so bad with the potential to get so much worse, so just keeping the world from ending would be a validation of our hopes.

That said:

Remember when Fonzie was temporarily struck blind and Ralph and Potzie disassembled his motorcycle and Fonzie fought through tears until he realized he found the parts of his carberator and he reassmbled his whole bike just from feel?

How about when he rescued Pinky Tuscadaro from the Malachi Brothers only to let the love of his life go free?

How about when he proved his patriotism to fellow jurors by showing his red white and blue socks, then went on to convince the panel to vote for acquittal?

Can Obama make the jukebox play by hitting it just so?


Did you guess my point yet? Did you guess my point is "Obama is just a man. He is not a mythic hero like the Fonz.". Did you just say "exactamundo"? You did?

Heyyyyyyyyyy!
