President Barack Obama of the United States of America is an interesting sort. I get that many black people felt that electing a black person to the office of President would be a great idea. Very symbolic, possibly even showing it to 'the Man'. Proof that America is moving on etc etc.
Some of this is understandable and some deeply offensive to the independent minds of black people, but really Obama? You had to be voting for the skin, because you couldn't possibly want the man? And don't bother with the Democrat or Republican thing, he aint no politician.
No, achievement wise the choice is between comedian or golfer. He does a lot of both. Presidenting gets in the way a bit but you know, he is up for the sponsors getting a bit of his time. So the odd bit on lectern leaning, with careful pauses and looks to the side is OK with him. Earnest and sincere, even without the slightest idea. Man for the people.
Did he study Blair, the consummate professional in this arena or is he a natural? No idea, but he does seem an empty vessel so it could be natural. And now he is seeking to stamp his legacy mark. He could publish a book. It would have quite a lot of pages, all blank that you could draw or colour on.
He thinks he has waged war on Global Warming, but that is just tilting at windmills. No, if someone named a golf tournament after him, he could be smug and it would accurately reflect his time in office.
To racialists everywhere I say, America has had a black President and he is an idiot. But this is because he is an idiot, not because he is black. Stupidity is colour blind.
