Barack Obama: The black president in the White House? - Pravda.Ru

Pravda offers its astute, sophisticated view of the American elections.

"Hillary Clinton could no longer pretend that she was not a woman, but an androgyny in a suit. Barack Obama could not longer pretend that he was not a black male. Hillary Clinton displayed her womanhood during New Hampshire primaries. Her tears won her the votes of many women who gave her a victory. In South Carolina it was suddenly revealed that Barack Obama was a black male, which also won him a victory."

I remember it well. Everybody in the USA thought Obama was a white guy until that pick-up game in Charleston, pols vs press, when a sudden burst of adrenalin overtook his better judgment and he broke the tie at the buzzer with a backboard-shattering 360 slam dunk. His secret was out.
