If Barack Obama were actually a mole, planted with the express purpose of bringing the great satan down from within...
Why not choose a white guy, and give him an WASP-y sounding cover identity?
Look at the U.S presidents, right up until Barack Obama: White guys with names like Bill, George, Jimmy and John. There's a few outliers, like Ulysses and Rutherford, but mostly, pasty white guys with pasty white names.

But instead of choosing one of the many available unemployed white dudes available to rule a hugely politically conservative country, the socialist/terrorist masterminds chose a black dude whose first name is 'Barack' and whose middle name is 'Hussein'?

I'd like to meet the diabolical spymaster who thought that one was a dead cert. I'd also like to know who his second choice was. I'm guessing Saddam 'Elton' Gonzalez.

Adolph Manson-Fritzl

Or, even more horrifying, Adolph Hanson-Fritzl. At least Charlie had reasonable taste in music.

You might not say that if you heard
any of the folk-rock recordings he made.

I've only heard "Look At Your Game Girl" and I like it.
I prefer the original to the GNR cover too.

I think the plot with Obama
Was that being black wouldn't effect the normal democrat voters (they'd see themselves as socially liberal and pat themselves on the back for voting for a black guy) - whilst the racist republican voter didn't matter as they wouldn't be voting for them anyway.

So it was about gaining black peoples votes who often didn't vote but could be persuaded to vote for a black candidate. I think!

Hopefully I've expressed that without making myself sound racist which is always a fear when talking about race issues.
