I do agree that he'd probably be like Gehry, visionary of a delusional reality, rooted firmly in his beliefs of "change" and "reform". Things that have been functioning [even at sub-adequate levels] don't require drastic disfigurements. I love the title of this post, honestly.

It pains me (a person of color)to see people saying Obama is just a fake. Truth is obama is looking like Americas most anticipated president, and he just happens not to be 'white', we don't know how his presidency will unravel but at least he can speak a thousand times better than Mr. Bush instilling hope across a nation of a quarter a billion people and a good portion of the rest of a world full of billions more. Yes, hes black too. Why are white people unhappy or threatened enough to dismiss him before he even begins, hes also white too you know, at least his mom was.

I totally agree with Sascha, Obama has never done anything. He is just lucky to be the right cosmetic image behind which America can see iteself after G.W. Bush jr. Seen from outside the USA, all this crazy idolatry is quite frightening. It's as frightening as the hysteria against Bush since 8 years. With great expectations come often great disappointments. Good luck America. Well Thomas Jefferson was an architect (University of Virginia)…He was actually a very good president.

Obama isn't the messiah for sure, he's just a politician, but maybe people, even his opponents, would give him a chance to show what he's made of before declaring him a lie/fake/fraud/etc or comparing him in a roundabout way to Hitler(!).. I would also agree that it's not the best idea to bring this stuff up on an architecture site, as it seems to generate very little relevant discussion.
