Barack Obama has like five different cultural heritages, so it's only natural that he'd try to break down and exploit different minorities for votes online. He has partnered with Community Connect Inc. (CCI), which according to CCI is "the leading publisher of niche social networking communities," to create MySpace-like profiles on the company's five demographically determined sites -- BlackPlanet.com, MiGente.com (Latino), AsianAve.com, GLEE.com (gay/lesbian) and Faithbase.com (like James Dobson or something). Between these "niche" groups, Obama has made over 200,000 friends. Expect that number to double if CCI makes a "niche" site for 17-year-old Iowan blondes who like to stare at his balls.
