THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: 'Obama once cast a spell so powerful' that he wasn't ridiculed for boasting he would cause 'the oceans to stop rising and the planet to heal'

In short, the spell that Mr. Obama once cast—a spell so powerful that instead of ridiculing him when he boasted that he would cause "the oceans to stop rising and the planet to heal," all of liberaldom fell into a delirious swoon—has now been broken by its traumatic realization that he is neither the "god" Newsweek in all seriousness declared him to be nor even a messianic deliverer. [Note to Obama: The oceans have been rising since the peak of the last ice age 18,000 years ago, and the rate of rise has greatly decelerated over the past 8,000 years, and during the 20th century well before you were elected President.]
