As I watched my Formula 1 race at 02:30 this morning(live from
Malaysia), I was thinking about how Obama is kind of like Lewis
Hamilton...both biracial wunderkind...there are a lot of similarities,
IMO. I was thinking about all the Obama hype and I thought, hey, we can
call it the "Hamilton effect", remembering all the hoopla about rookie
driver Lewis Hamilton from last season that continues into this
one...BUT then, I realized that Hamilton was not the first of his kind
either...that honor, I think, belongs to Tiger Woods....
So, I am henceforth going to call this "The Tiger Effect"
Do they have an interesting background? Absolutely.
Have they overcome adversity, both ethnic and economic, and kicked open
barrier doors? Absolutely.
Are they good at their jobs-"slick"? You bet.
Are they the best that ever was, or at least better than all other
current players in the game? Only time will tell, but it's doubtful.
The sad thing about hype, or "the Tiger effect" is that no one can ever
live up to it, and they will surely disappoint.
That being said, I think the Senator from Illinois will be our next
President. I wonder if we are really ready for the change we seek.
