As everyone knows, I did not vote for candidate BO.
Frankly, I didn't think that a first term US Senator without executive experience was ready for the most difficult job in the world.
How can any serious voter say that BO was more qualified than McCain?
What were these people smoking or drinking? How "drunk with change" can someone be?
On election night, I accepted the results and moved on. Democracy is about winning and losing elections but always accepting the will of the voters.
Like many, I was pleased to see the election of a black man and the post-racial that we were promised.
I was wrong and wrong big time.
We were promised a post-racial presidency but race relations are worse than ever!
Why hasn't our first black president improved relations?
Because he does not have the guts to stand up and tell his supporters to stop playing the race card....or tell them that you can disagree with BO without being a racist!
Sadly, Pres BO has turned out to be a huge failure for black America too.
Why isn't he calling on black men to be responsible fathers?
Or black gangs in Chicago to stop killing each other?
I guess that he is too busy looking for those isolated placards at tea party meetings. (By the way, did candidate BO ever complain about "the Bush insults" heard at his rallies?)
What a disappointment for those of us who saw "hope" in having a black president!
Professor VD Hanson nailed it:
"The more the president appeals to his base in racial terms, the more his appointees identify themselves as members of a particular tribe, and the more political issues are framed by racial divisions, so all the more such racial obsession creates a backlash among the racially diverse American people.
America has largely moved beyond race.
America has largely moved beyond race.
Tragically, our president and a host of his supportive special interests have not."
Welcome to BO's "not post racial" world!
