Since no one has pointed out the obvious, I guess I will...
First of all, Obama is as white as he is black. His black father ditched his family and he was raised by the white half.
More black people came out and voted than ever before... they couldn't wait to vote for BO because he was "black." I've heard the interviews. I have black friends who admitted that they "had" to vote for Obama. I guess I'm not surprised by that.. it's just a lousy reason to vote FOR or AGAINST someone. I'm having trouble seeing that as progress.
I am NOT thrilled that so many people voted for BO for extremely superficial reasons.,,, he's tall, looks good, speaks well (just don't take him away from the TelePrompTer) is black (well, half black), and VERY important to some, has "D" by his name.
I know there are some people who actually think socialism (for example) and BIG government is going to "fix" their lives and they KNOW what they voted for.
But sadly, too MANY didn't have a CLUE. They have no idea how our economy works and what BO's ideas might actually do.
And shame on our media for keeping people ignorant of so many issues. Shame on people who just wanted to get back into power and didn't mind lying to do so.
I'm just glad BO is not going to be a dictator - even if he thinks he's all powerful. We have checks and balances here... thank goodness.
