Obama is yet another flash in the pan Presidency, modeled by LBJ but without his charisma or contacts.
Even the circumstances are the same, a.k.a., Vietnam vs Iraq.

Except he doesn't even bring the long history and experience, nor the respect, that LBJ had to the Presidency.
If Obama wins, he'll have the weakness of Carter, the hostility and frustration of LBJ, and the American people will be worse off than they were when George W. Bush took over in 2001.

Besides being a variety President of a different suit in the deck, what else is offered under that black hat of his?

America needs white hats, not black hats, and it has little to do with race.
