A Band Lip Syncing at Inauguration Draws an Interesting Parallel to Barack Obama

 While this story of the classical band lip-syncing the music at President Obama’s inauguration is trivial and  of no consequence whatsoever, I find the symbolic aspect between this and President Obama to be striking.

 When listening to the band play you thought that what you heard was beautiful and flawless. Damn did it sound good. But then you found out that what you were listening to wasn’t what you thought that you were listening to. It was a hoax. A fraud. The band pulled the wool over everyones eyes.

 I can’t help but think about how perfect an analogy this draws to President Obama. When he speaks he sounds good, he sounds flawless but much like the band at his inauguration there is nothing there. There is no substance to his words, he is an empty suit. He also is a fraud. Candidate Obama pulled the wool over everyones eyes.

 I can’t help but think that President Obama couldn’t have picked a better band to play at his inauguration. They are two peas in a pod.
