It seems like this question is everywhere as the primaries come to a close and we enter the presidential election.
Barack Obama: Not Jamie Kennedy
Jamie Kennedy: Not Barack ObamaThe first image is Barack Obama. The second one is Jamie Kennedy. The resemblance is uncanny. But the similarities don’t end there. Consider the roles they play. Each goes against their respective race’s stereotypes. Barack Obama is a black man who is intelligent, handsome, educated, not in jail, and humorous. Jamie Kennedy is a white man who is uneducated, stupid, hardly handsome, acts like people who are in jail, and the antithesis of humorous. Astounding, isn’t it? Furthermore, Obama has been called a great orator. Jamie Kennedy, according to Wikipedia, honed his voice impersonation skills after college. It’s no wonder so many are comparing Obama’s speeches to Kennedy, calling them JHK-esque (Jamie Kennedy’s middle name is Harvey). Clearly, there’s something about Kennedy.
