Virtuosity In Black, Part I

or Liar, Liar, House on Fire

Part 1
Breaking News.
The highly acclaimed production of Virtuosity in Black or subtitled by some critics, as Liar, Liar, House on Fire, a child like taunting refrain, has been scripted into a pageantry of real life drama competing in popularity as one of the most memorable productions of screen and stage in American history, largely due to an outstanding performance by Barack Obama, featured in the starring role.

Barack Obama, a suave and charismatic native son, along with his entourage of hypocrites and turncoats is receiving national and international acclaim for what some are calling one of the best performances of the century. Obama was groomed and selected for the part by an elite group of casting directors. He is said to be ecstatic over his success in capturing an immensely coveted part, especially for a black man. His fortunes as a consummate actor and serious contender for the part began with his memorable role as the Senator from Illinois. This powerful drama of a few years ago established his credentials as a reliable and trusted protégé of an elite ruing oligarchy whose powers are legendary for their ability to mold the Academy of Arts and Sciences in its own image.

Obama’s historical ascendency to capture the leading role in Virtuosity in Black is being hailed by some observers as a decisive victory for the repudiation of the questionable talents of the only other contender for the role. The runner up was associated with a discredited actor whose ability was eventually deemed unsuitable by the decision makers. Consequently, they concluded that Obama’s competition lacked the necessary credentials to capture the hearts and minds of the audience in this critical period of unprecedented skepticism among the masses.

Some in the Academy of Arts and Sciences are indignant over the role of the ruling oligarchy, who they accuse of hi-jacking the decision making process and rendering the vote of the rank and file null and void. Some are also saying that because the drama depicts a black man who refuses to stand up for the rights and humanity of black people that the real color of the protagonist is actually yellow, not black.

Consequently some polls, are showing an emerging backlash to the popularity of the production, which has been roundly criticized as a gross distortion of basic human values, which represent the best of human nature in a society hungry for role models they can emulate in a time of crisis and uncertainty.

The above combination of metaphor, satire, and a dose of sarcasm is designed to impress upon the readers how one can easily mistake form for substance and be harangued into believing the authenticity of information which has been edited, omitted and distorted in the service of a elite group who weld the power of censorship and the control of information for mass consumption.
Seeking information beyond the enticement and seduction of images and form is crucial if one is to uncover the truth. The truth is that Obama’s image and his very carefully crafted speeches are often in contradiction to his policies and decisions. Some of us have already perceived as much and have spoken boldly on the subject. For those of us who are still in the dark or harbor doubts about the Obama deception, especially as it relates to the African community, standby, as we breathe life into the simmering ambers of the metaphor.
