[Obama supporter here, but…] I hope the mods won’t mind the double post since I put [these](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9817503&postcount=88) in the McCain thread along with a coupla Hillary ones: Obama looks like the kinda guy who mentions his autographed Captain & Tennille LPs and Ferrante & Teicher posters while referring to famous rap acts as “M&Ms and Snoopy Dog Dog” on _an episode of pretty much any black sitcom_. italicized portion changed from original Obama looks like the successful handsome black guy who’s really evil and ultimately gets hurt very very badly by M’dea once his wife/girlfriend comes to her senses and leaves him for the sensitive blue collar guy in every single Tyler Perry’s M’dea movie. PS- A reminder of a [previous somewhat similar thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=456308&highlight=butterworth). ---
