So nice to watch all the racially charged comments! This does set a great precedent that anyone can be the leader of the USA, no matter your ethnic heritage. Ability is not restricted due to race! There is a downside through. If things go to hell, no matter if it is Obama's fault or not, we can see a backlash. A return to the mentality of the "white man's burden" BS of the late 1800s. "Minority is not capable of such complex efforts and iti s the white man's burden to help civilize them." It is complete and utter BS, yet people still believe that crap.
To be honest, I cannot stand Obama, but I could not stand McCain either. Obama is just another politician, that says one thing, yet his voting record says something else. I truly believe that Obama is as white on the inside as McCain is on the outside. The only difference between the two of them was the pigment of their skin.
Yet, it will be so much fun to aggravate racists for the next 4 years, "Now now now, I had to respect your stupid W president, so least you can do is respect and obey the new Black president" It is going to be fun and I have already started picking on klansman at work :P
