Electing Obama was the "Pet Rock" of 2008

Remember pet rocks?

It was a goofy idea in the seventies, that you take an ordinary rock, package it with a clever idea and sell it to millions of gullible people. It was a fad that lasted for a couple of years ( a couple of months for some) and then, everyone saw what a stupid idea it had been and lost interest.

Need I say more?

Editor's note: I never personally bought a pet rock. Some of us thought it was a stupid idea from the very beginning. I wonder if there's a parallel to 2008 in that?
