Yes, very proud
As I said, he still has seven years (YES SEVEN) to complete. I predicted that Obama would be higher ranked than Reagan at that time and stand by my prediction
Yes, his being black does come into play. Being the first black elected President of the United States was a historic accomplishment.
Great Presidents face great challenges. Both the Bush economy and the two wars represent great challenges. You of course, predict fail. I do not see either as being a critical issue seven years from now and Obama will recieve the credit.
Healthcare will pass and will be adapted and improved over the next seven years. Obama will get credit as the first President to succeed in passing healthcare.
Again, I stand by my prediction
The line in bold.......it was? Really? Were you asleep for the last 15 years and woke up in October 2008?
Far from it. Have you been asleep for the last 100 years of Civil Rights struggle in this country? For a black man from mixed parents to get elected president was a historic event. It will go on Obama's resume
You fell for that crap...probably one of many that voted for him for that reason seeing as he had no track record to base his viability with.
The last 15 years was met with many minorities being chosen for and earning the highest psitions in business, politics, athletics, academics....etc. Racism still exists....especailly anti-black.....but not to the point where I see any black person acheiving what this great country has to offer as historic....unless of course you are stuck on the first "black president".....
But, you see...I am by no means a racist. I am truly color blind as it pertains to people.....so I was proud to be an American when he was elected....but IO do not put him on a pedestal for being black.
Intersting......one who puts him on a pedestal becuase he is black, sees him as a black president.....
....hmmmm.....so I guess you see him as a black president. In most circles, that makes you a racist you know.
Guess you didnt realize that.
