Fauxbama
SNL has this right on target. Man, the media is all up on B.O.'s dick. Apparently, people are in a snit over SNL having a white guy play Obama. Give me a break people. It is a parody. I can't get the video to upload, but if you go to the Washington Post link, you can see it.
More SNL links to their version of the Democratic Debates and Democratic Debates on SNL, part 2. I'm sorry. It is funny even if you like these folks, too.

I love the USC professor who sniffed: "If we had black actors playing white characters, we wouldn't need to be discussing this."
Doesn't anybody remember the moderately successful Broadway show and subsequent movie of maybe 35 years ago, "The Wiz"? My word, L. Frank Baum certainly wouldn't have approved of African-Americans playing Dorothy, Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, etc.
But I don't recall anyone ever getting their noses out of joint over that.

Ex-actly! I don't remember where I heard it, but the true test of racism is to take the black, white, red, yellow, etc and replace with other descriptor. If it doesn't get the same reaction from you - you're being bigotted for/against the original group.

isn't it amazing what people get their noses bent out of joint for?

Another thought; didn't Dave Chappelle pretty much make his name by impersonating every race?
