Instead, at his "town-hall" meeting in economically devastated Fort Myers, the people who showed up paid their tribute to their Leader, and then proceeded to beg him for...well, stuff.

For example, there's a young man who should thank the Lord he's been admitted to college to begin with, complaining that he doesn't get good benefits after working at McDonald's for four years, but he "can't" get another job. He wanted to know what the President was going to do for people who didn't have enough benefits after working somewhere for a period of time.

And there was the man who wanted to know why unemployment can't pay your full salary, instead of just a portion of it. The President admitted that the system isn't "perfect."

But clearly, the star of the pity party was Henrietta Hughes, who first told the president that she prays for him, then proceeded to virtually pray to him:

"I'm grateful for you, and I've been praying for you," she said, pausing to collect herself. "I have an urgent need."

The woman, who identified herself as Henrietta Hughes, said she was unemployed and homeless, and living with her family in a very small vehicle. "The Housing Authority has two years waiting list. We need something more than a vehicle and parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom."

She pleaded, "Please help."

The president did his best impression of his friend Oprah, promised to help, and said his staff would talk to her after the meeting.

The President may have fulfilled the Peter Principle--rising to the level of one's own incompetence. He wants to be the social worker for the nation--for the world, even.

While Ms. Hughes may well get her wishes, thanks to President Santa Claus, and will probably become a famous icon in the American media, President Obama will soon find that solving every problem of every American is not only impossible, but the attempt may be dangerous.

What will he do when he cannot get everyone a job, re-build every house, wipe away every tear? What will it do to him? And what will it do to them?

And then, what will they do to him?
