Obama the Faun

Barack Obama, writes John Kass in the Chicago Tribune, is …

… the Mr. Tumnus of American politics, the gentle forest faun of Narnia, with throngs of reporters trembling to sit with him at tea and cakes, like the little girl in the C.S. Lewis story, as he plays the flute, chanting “We Are The Change We’ve Been Waiting For.” And nobody laughs.
You don’t laugh because you can’t make fun of Obama. The ground would swallow you whole.
