Obama is the new rockstar. But would he have been elected if his skin color were darker? If his father weren't African, but African American? He did not rise out of the ghetto, his ancestors did not pick cotton.
Did Colin Powell, Tiger Woods & other mulatto athletes (Derek Jeter comes to mind), Will Smith & other black-man-as-hero actors pave the way for him to become the possibility? To evoke a non-threatening image, to become an acceptable personage to white voters. There was chatter that Obama was being specially lit onstage at rallies, being dressed in certain colors to look lighter skinned, that his photos were being touched up. That he was told to let the grey hair show, to signal more maturity, that he looked too young, combined with his relative inexperience. Did the visual trickery work, if there even was?
He won the popular vote by only a 5 - 6% margin. He ran a deliberate and charmed campaign to garner the pearls, the electoral votes. I haven't bought the panties or redecorated my bedroom with his posters. But across the country, even the world, he has captivated younger women, and so, there will be even more white men left out in the cold, as these women pursue the embodiment of their fantasy for black cock.

Sara, I agree with your blog post and can I also suggest the black President on the tv show 24? Early in the show's run, Dennis Haysbert, a fine actor and now pitchman for Allstate, played the President!
