I posted it because lately I've been reading things that make me realize how much of a 'made' politician Obama actually is. For example, David Axelrod somewhat specializes in fashioning black candidates so that they will appeal to white voters. He has a record before Obama. Nothing really wrong with this, of course, and all candidates are fashioned to some extent. For me, though, it jars with the expectation that he would somehow be a new, unique, and specially gifted POTUS.
