It's not koolaide, it's distilled hope. Koolaide is for people being sold Jim Jones' suicidal kooky religion. This is the fulfillment of a long put-off dream of America.

I understand Harold's point, but the reason Presley held such magnetism, was not just that part of his appeal was "demonstrative", but that he was seen, from the start, as a person who was white, but sang the blues, gospel, and r&b with the gusto, and the guts that the mere fact of doing that, in mid-fifties America, necessitated. Besides, Presley was just as cool while standing totally still, and singing a ballad in front of 62 million American on the Ed Sullivan Show, as he was demonstrative when on his knees, or lying flat on the floor whilst in the concert tour, also that year, as the more than 120,000 pictures taken of him, on stage, and in 1956 alone, can clearly attest. The unvarnished truth is that Obama's power to captiivate people who are black, white, or of any other racial background, and affect them massively, is a lot more like the case of the young Elvis. Unlike Sinatra, or even Jagger, Presley really inter-acted with his fan base. Incidentally, of those 120,000 photographs taken, in 1956, at least 90 percent were taken by fans, off stage, with him...

Yes, the uber-cool guy from Jersey who took the pics while his mobster pal raped Monroe at Cal-Neva Lodge at Tahoe. Raped her every which way. They'd slipped her a mickey and she'd puked her guts out, was half conscious. That was a few weeks after she'd flown east to sing happy birthday and soon was fired by 20th C. Fox. Happy birthday to JFK.

Exactly! When I heard people describe Obama as this or that famous person, the only "cool dude" I could think of was Sinatra.

Totally! I thought the same thing myself many times! I kept saying, he (Barack) reminds me of somebody - Frankie! Seriously - the same essence. Wow. You nailed it!
