Since Barack Obama came into the political picture, he has reminded me of somebody I looked up to when I was a little kid. At first, I thought he was a combination of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, both sadly and momentously taken away when I was eight. But, after more reflection, I’ve finally figured out who he really reminds me of. He is Spock and Shaft combined in equal measure. Maybe a successful gene-splicing experiment?

That’s illogical. Shut yo mouth.

Since posting this, I see several sites have made the Spock comparison some time ago. But Spock alone doesn’t do it. You gotta have Shaft’s tough chill to complete the Obama Cool.
