[Poe’s Law](http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Poe's_Law) states that it is impossible to craft a parody of Fundamentalism that is clearly distinguishable from the real thing.

Based on [this thread,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=489169) I think we need to extend that to cover anything said against Obama that is not based on his actual public-policy record or statements.
