O'Bama in a Kilt?

When brown people put on traditional clothes in brown-skinned countries, we do look more like we fit in. That's why I don't like the fuss about Barack Obama in a turban. If he were white, he'd be getting captions under the photo with words like "tolerant" and "respectful of other cultures."

One of my BFFs (an Obama fan) said recently, "I'll bet if he put an apostrophe in his name, he'd get elected. Vote for O'Bama, my little leprechauns." Of course, not too long ago an Irish name in America made it tough to find a job, let alone run for President.
