There are three branches of government. You learn them in grade school: executive, legislative and judicial.

What you don’t learn is that when one of those branches gets occupied by a black president, the other two branches rip him to shreds like he’s Cinderella.

Think about it: Obama is pretty (or, in this case, handsome), came from meager circumstances, and suddenly catapulted into his (fore)father’s favor. Like Cinderella, his image is golden – or at least, it had to have been, since few other black men could have survived the mudslinging of American presidential elections. Obama is Cinderella-special, and he happened upon America like a fairy tale.

Since then, his two sisters (let’s call them Legislative & Judicial) haven’t been able to get over it.

Quiet as it’s kept, they’re livid with Obama.

As part of their revenge tactics, they ensure he’s overworked. If he accomplishes anything good, they push the goal post just a little bit further.

Every action he takes is a problem for his sister, “Legislative.” He tries to pass health care with her, for example, and she responds: “No, Cinderella, no!” (Of course, as the story goes, he manages to pass health care anyway).

But, it doesn’t stop there. When it comes to the other branch of the American family, the Judicial branch, Obama never seems good enough. When he appoints the first Latina to the Supreme Court, you would think it would be a celebration for Judicial, but instead Obama is reprimanded: “No Sotomayors, no!” When he courageously appoints another woman, Elena Kagan, everyone screams: “She’s too liberal! She’s not liberal enough! No Kagans, no!”

“Do more, Obama. Work harder, Obama. Even when it’s out of your hands, Obama, sweat blood, Obama!” the sisters scream.
