Never, for another 50 years will there be a mixed ethnicity ever considered for president again. Obama, a high yeller, showed how blacks feel about gays. And, keeping promises. And what an affirmative action education gets someone. He's shown us that blacks and mulattos are bigots in their own right and can't, in the current parlance, "man up" to do the right thing or go out on a limb. When Obama dies or is voted out of office, which ever comes first, the blacklash will be tremendous. Look for the dismantling of affirmative action, quotas and so on. Suddenly blacks are deciding that Obama's not such a good president or role model after all. Can a Mormon win the presidency? Yes. Mormons don't go to churches in Chicago for decades which preach anti-American sermons. In the future we'll pay more attention to the man (or woman) and less to their slogans. Hope and Change? I hope I can get some spare change today.
