I'd like to draw your attention to two more suspicious features of
Obama. Firstly not only is he left handed, which as you rightly point
out is most sinister, but he is black, a colour regarded by many
cultures for good reasons as symbolising death and evil. Secondly he a
foreign name, for the very good reason that his father is a
foreigner. As anthropologists have long noted, foreigners are widely
regarded with great suspicion by many cultures, and for very good
reasons.
I'm really surprised that you're actually prepared to live in the kind
of country which can vote for a left handed black foreigner.
