Barack Obama, "The "Black Mamba," Has Shed His Skin But Remains a Snake" - The Black Mamba is the deadliest snake in Africa - This was a mistake that my brain made for 1 tenth of a second before I realized that it was about a basketball star

.

But it is fitting that Obama is a snake because the snake is a symbol of Healing and Wisdom as in the Caduceus or Staff of Asclepius, God of Good Health ( ObamaCare ) and Medicine.

You could also argue that Obama has shed his skin of a centrist and compromiser and is now a liberal after his second inaugural speech.

After being Felix, the cat and the Road Runner ( that always escapes and defeats the GOP Coyote ) Obama is now a happy African ( Kenyan ?? ) deadly snake biting Republicans in the U. S. House.

Some people argue that Obama should not be very arrogant but humble to achieve the rank of Great President, which I think that Obama already reached.

I strongly love and admire Obama, even if he becomes arrogant and aloof, but I would like to see him kissing and forgiving his enemies : The Weird Freaks and Monsters, also called Republicans.

Finally this mamba phrase should be an African saying, but the equivalent proverb in Spanish is "Monkeys in silk are monkeys" .....

The basketball star is Kobe Bryant ( 16 years and five championships under his belt with the Los Angeles Lakers ).

Shame on "The New Republic" that misguided me . ...

And this is the article that confused me about President Obama :

Kobe Bryant, the "Black Mamba," Has Shed His Skin But Remains a Snake
