President Obama benefits from what is being called "The Al Green effect."

Courtesy of Live Odds and Scores:

Irish bookmaker Paddy Power today shortened the odds on Barack Obama serving a second term as US President from 8/11 to 4/6. 

The decision to tighten the odds came less than 24 hours after the bookmaker announced it was paying out on Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee but also came after a spectacular performance from President Obama at a fundraiser in the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem. 

The President wowed crowds on Thursday night when he broke into Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” displaying once more the relaxed and charismatic nature that captivated voters in 2008. 

Paddy Power said: “We’re calling it the ‘Al Green’ effect. We can’t get the song out of our heads after seeing the video of him at the Apollo. Policies are important but so too is the ability to move and motivate people and Obama does that effortlessly.”

Let's see Mitt Romney compete with THAT!

You don't have to believe you were made in the image of God to feel special. You already are special.

I read an article years ago that laid out just how improbable your very existence was considering all of the  possibilities, but could never find it again.

I think that THIS chart is a pretty good replacement.

Are you impressed with yourself?  Well I am.
