We are being asked to accept at face value the notion that  after more than 
two centuries of entrenched racism in this country, which saw  only five black 
members of the U.S. Senate, it's all being eradicated with some  rousing stump 
speeches. 
We are asked to believe that those white executives at all the biggest Wall  
Street firms, which rank in the top 20 donors to the Obama presidential  
campaign, after failing to achieve more than 3.5 per cent black stockbrokers  
over 
30 years, now want a black populist president because they crave a level  
playing field for the American people. 
"The 2008 Obama presidential run may be the most slickly  orchestrated 
marketing machine in memory. That's not a good thing. Marketing is  not even 
distantly related to democracy or civic empowerment. Marketing is about  
creating 
emotional, even irrational bonds between your product and your target  
audience." 
 
The Wall Street plan for the Obama-bubble presidency is that of the cleanup  
crew for the housing bubble: sweep all the corruption and losses, would-be  
indictments, perp walks and prosecutions under the rug and get on with an  
unprecedented taxpayer bailout of Wall Street.
