A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.
Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.

The title of a (great) sci-fi film starring Charlton "from my cold dead hands" Heston, made in 1973.
The name comes from a combination of 'soy' and 'lentils'.
The film was (loosely) based on an anti-contraception novel, called 'Make Room! Make Room!', by Harry Harrison.
It is, of course, famously made from people.
New, Soylent Green!
Now with more girls!
Also available in Red, and Yellow.

Wishing very much that you had what someone else has. A longing to possess something awarded to or achieved by another.

Hank Green is a massive star that provides life for Earth. Hank is the center of the solar system, but in the dark ages people thought that the Earth revolved around Hank.
Hank Green came out today, so its was a great day to have a picnic.
