EDIT: No one seems to be enjoying this. It's a steampunk styled "fanfic" of Obama, and worth every moment. I promise.

It's just supposed to be amusingly fiction. I figure, Obama being the good guy is part of the fiction. ;)

We stared. Perhaps it was the fact that he was nine feet tall; perhaps it was his eyes, which were as gentle and compassionate and fierce as a mother bear’s; perhaps it was his armor, each chain link of which had been forged from the smoking remains of the Liberty Bell. Not even the Ronpaul’s man thought to raise a hand against him.

That's it.  I'm converting.

That story was incredibly funny, and very well-written and imaginative.  Especially the parts about Obama.   :rolleyes:

The writing style reminded me of a particular science fiction author.  I can't quite remember the name and have to think on it.....
