I think that this is actually one of the good effects of an Obama presidency. Actually, I think that in the long run, Obama's personal example undermining the arguments that doing what you are supposed to do is not a matter of "acting white" will be a huge benefit. It will also, I suspect, start in some subtle ways to grate on the left and eventually be a source of open friction between Obama and his own supporters.
One thing is odd. Obama appears to smoke quite a lot. The press almost never publishes pictures with him doing so. Is there some sort of Rooseveltian understanding with the press? Is that a good thing? Is there some cotradiction in observing such an understanding given the push to have Roosevelt's statue portray him in a wheelchair?
