Kirsten Powers thinks she's discovered an original idea. People are beginning to suffer from ODS, the Obama Derangement Syndrome.
IT'S official: Obama Derangement Syndrome is sweeping the nation.
The Urban Dictionary defines ODS as: "The acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the statements - nay - the very existence of Barack Obama."
ODS is a relative of "Bush Derangement Syndrome," a phrase originally coined by columnist Charles Krauthammer. Sufferers believe that President Bush caused Hurricane Katrina or 9/11, or intentionally lied about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, etc.
She has examples. Here's one.
A Florida TV anchor recently demanded that Joe Biden explain why we shouldn't be worried that Obama would turn America into a socialist country. Incredibly, she asked Biden if Obama was a "Marxist."
Wonder where she got that. Perhaps she reads National Review Online...
Actually, she got it from Obama:
Say O D S out loud.
