Back in the 1920s Dr. Hermann Rorschach tossed some ink on a piece of paper, quickly folded it in half, and opened it up to find a mirror-image splatter. He tried his “accidental inkblots” on some of his psychoanalysis patients, asking them “What do you see?”

So was born the famous Rorschach Inkblot Test, presenting people with an ambiguous stimulus that requires them to project their own strong feelings, values, wishes, needs, and aspirations, in an attempt to find meaning in something where none actually exists.

Barack Obama is a Human Rorschach Test. People see what they want to see.

He is, pure and simple, an ambiguous stimulus.

This is leadership???

But Obama himself said it best: “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” –The Audacity of Hope

I TOTALLY rest my case.
