'V' recap: Does Obama Come in Peace?

Many of you probably missed the series opener for ABC's science-fiction drama, V. Well it turns out that the "Visitors," (the fist letter of which is what the V means) are promising, among other things, universal health care. They're also controlling the media. They've also duped the entire population of the Earth with their charismatic leader. Sound familiar?

The internet is somewhat atwitter over the allegory to Obama, with the liberals having a near-hemorrhage over it.An excerpt from the article:

Our own real-world jitters about the authenticity and ambition of brazenly bold do-gooding leaders are reflected in the show. Can we really trust the charismatic crusader with the crackerjack plan for the future? What's the secret pricetag on a Brave New World? How can we be certain this new administration won't lead us into a new kind of ruin, let alone turn us all into sex slaves servicing the pervy desires of an evil megalomaniac who resembles the hot high class shuttle whore on Firefly? Because ladies and gentlemen, I do worry about that. Every. Single. Minute.

What fun Sci-Fi is, when it resonates with reality. Here is but one comment:

I agree with all of you who are pointing out the oversensitivity of Obama supporters to anything remotely negative, but keep in mind a fundamental plotline in the original V was how easy it is to fall into the follower role to someone who looks good and says all the right things, even if they are not acting in our best interests. The fact it happens to also apply to our current administration is just one more reason this show will resonate today."
