Lost in Presidential Lust

I’m no prude but the sexual fodder of which Barack Obama is the subject crosses the acceptability line. Throngs of women, weak-kneed with rapture, proclaimed more than a political interest in the man who rose to the presidency long before he took office. However, sexual confessions eclipsed when New York Times columnist Judith Warner professed a dream about the president emerging from her home’s shower last week. In “Sometimes a President is Just a President,” Warner confided that “many women – not too surprisingly – were dreaming about sex with the president."

Black women may be similarly smitten with the new Commander-In-Chief but if they’re wet dreaming, it’s likely kept under wraps out of respect for his First Lady. Unarguably, the black president has brought sexy back to the White House but it matters little if he can’t rescue the country from this recessionary cesspool. Seemingly, the ongoing Mandingo dick obsession by white women, though taboo in some circles, is one that will never die. Had comments of the same lascivious stream come from men about a female president, they’d be swiftly dismissed with a sexist slap.
