It's always the superficial things that get you

Kudos to Senator Obama for throwing his hat in the ring, but here are two reasons why he won't make it (aside from the fact that outside of the Presidents Palmer, America still isn't ready to see a black man in the White House.)
1. His middle name is Hussein.
2. His last name rhymes with Osama.

And there's the rub. Make him white, change his name to Jonathan Baker Turlington, and America would love to see a young, energetic senator from Illinois in the White House.
