I think that DAVID EHRENSTEIN has an excellent point about how Obama’s color is so much a part of his allure.  But I wonder about “Better Educated” as code for white, I think it goes to the heart of the chnaging face of class in our society.  To me it could mean “East Ivy School educated or wanna be”, “white-color professional” is another one that it could be….It tells me that I am to believe that the “haves” are for Obama, because he advocates for the “have-nots” who for the most part are not voting for him, yet.  But why are the “haves” voting for him?  Is it because they know he will be controllable, while he is singing the “Songs of Solomon” to those dummies on the lower half of the economic ladder, they “our betters”, a club that is color blind if not gender blind, will be solving the worlds problems, with minimal discomfort to themselves.   Obama’s legislative record shows how cautious and timid he is, a perfect mouthpiece for the new “secular evangilicals”, long on faith, short on specifics while some grey cloud of advisors, made up of Washington regulars really run things.  What really bothers me is that is being marketed like bottled water, or a can of Pepsi Plus, which is icky and embarresing in a Presidential campaign.
