No, I don't think Obama is another OJ Simpson. The two men could not be more different. It's a common marketing strategy that links them. White guilt and that ache for black vindication were a huge part of OJ's celebrity campaign. That's also what got Obama elected over Hillary and then McCain.
David Axelrod as a PR maven had obviously studied the opinion polls about black celebrities. They knew that a black man who looked and sounded good on TV could roll over the opposition; the media wouldn't dare to examine his background. OJ had demonstrated it, along with Oprah and a hundred other black celebrities.
Whites feel guilty about the historical exclusion of black athletes from professional sports. That history is true, and it was a terrible thing. OJ was a great football player, but he was also hero-worshipped far beyond his talents in a vain attempt to make up for the sins of past. Like Obama, OJ was an inkblot test for the American psyche.

With luck, and it’s out of our direct control, the ‘fall’ might start to come with the mid-term elections: MORE IMPORTANTLY, even though the MSM is TOTALLY blind to it, WE need to start the real work of massive grassroots protest and continue with the July 4th-5th demonstrations, continuing Tea Parties, and carry this massive disapproval against this current Administration of thugs into the summer and fall. It FINALLY will have an effect, as I saw it would on April 15th at the Tea Party rally I attended in Nanuet NY.
Twitter will be the best method of informing the public of the happenings -— forget the biased media.
Good article and the first few comments below the feature were interesting and well written.
Reading the posts at Kos I come to realize that our politics is a satire of a satire as if written by Christian Lander, the author of “Stuff White People Like.”
“a black man that looks and sounds good on TV” yeah that is what we need leading our country. Sad
I’ll bet our country’s creditors are impressed with our “elite” after seeing this past year’s politics (sarcasm intended). We spend decades building up to a credit implosion, and then our political choice boils down to white lib fantasy man or the senile old fart who only wants to be loved by the people who hated him.

It’s not just that he was a black man, it was that he is a radical leftist that the press lies about and hides relevant information. My favorite MSM revelation that they then suppressed was his ties to bomber Bill Ayers.

at 5 minutes, State Senator Alice Palmer in no way arranged this meeting at Bill Ayers house. Obama a liar, a Chicago thug who would tell any lie, forge any document to get control, and now we see clearly what he is. America is just now starting to figure out the con perpetuated on them by the MSM.
Yeah, but the majority that voted for this punk did not know or comprehend any of that.
If that’s all it takes I would rather have Bill Cosby as president. At least Bill projects charm and a warm personality, and has a great sense of humor.
Yep, and Bill Cosby has the maturity that is sooooo lacking in Obama.
