Obama seems to be caught between--ahem--Barack and a hard place.

He's either too black or not black enough.

He's all show and no substance--except when he's too much a policy wonk. His appeal is simplistic, except when he delivers a subtle, carefully-thought speech on race, when he's accused of not appealing to the knucklehead vote.

He's too associated with his pastor--unlike McCain, who gets a free pass for associating with hate monger John Hagee and kissing up to the late Jerry Falwell after previously labeling him an "agent of intolerance."

Obama is labeled as not having enough foreign policy experience, while McCain embarrasses himself on his mideast trip to the point where Lieberman has to take him aside to correct him.

The more people say against Obama, the more I like him. He probably won't win, however, because he won't pass the true test of an American Presidential candidate. In the end, Americans will choose which one they'd rather have a beer with.
