The Tiger/Barack Phenomenon.



Tiger Woods and Barack Obama have a very crucial factoid in common: People will NOT hop off their respective dicks. At all. Maybe there's something about being a creamy caramel successful "black" man that makes everything you do exponentially more important or acceptable.

Am I being retarded, or was one of Obama's primary goals as president to get us out of the middle east (I will refrain from naming specific country names for fear of being absolutely wrong)? +34,000 is a far cry from our full-fledged exeunt. Everyone on the news: "It's disappointing, but Obama says it's what has to be done..." He's on our bra strap, we're on his dick. I personally think this is not so discretely his first big sign of being a puppet. We were so swept up in his rhetoric and profligate use of the word "hope" that perhaps we didn't see a wolf in sheep's clothing. Just a hunch. Obama garners support from supporters and non-supporters alike. I doubt there's a straight man in this country who wouldn't bop him off if he asked. Just a hunch.

So, in the case of Tiger Woods, he hasn't lost a single sponsorship in light of his more than two year affair with some bunny. I'm not saying he should, but celebrity affairs seem to be a big deal. And the massive amount of news coverage for Woods' "transgressions" are surprisingly not negative. I guess we're on some shit like "Fuck his wife. She can't golf like ol' Tiger. She don't matter."

They got friends with money, and they got money too. Swinging golf clubs and shit. Giving national addresses and shit. Dollars and success seem to be a pass for virtually anything. Infidelity and dishonesty mean nothing when you're (cue the "grr") Tiger, or (drumroll please) Barack Obama.
