Della Femina: Be Very Afraid of Obama

Jerry Della Femina writes a column for the Long Island Independent newspaper, which he co-owns. In this column he puts forward a very frightening proposition: what if Obama is not another Jimmy Carter but instead another Mikhail Gorbachev? If you've lost track of Gorbachev's career accomplishment, it was to disintegrate the Soviet Union of which he was leader.

One of the twentieth century's most famous advertising men, Jerry Della Femina likes to do "off the wall" and this may be just another example thereof. I just wish he hadn't done such a good job of drawing the parallels between Obama and Gorbachev.
