Well it's an hour-and-a-half away from November 4th, and as I sit here I'd like to say something briefly. This will not be one of my longer posts.
I will be happy if Obama wins the presidency for one reason and one reason only: America will finally have an African-American president. And not only that, but also the fact that he will be the second ever non-Protestant President. Maybe 3rd if you're so bold as to include Thomas Jefferson, who was a Deist but his parents were Protestants. This is important, as it will help young African American and Hispanic kids in lower income neighborhoods grow up to see a man who's half-Black on TV everyday as president to believe that the only force that can restrain them in terms of achievement is themselves.
Yes, Obama is a member of the Democrat party. Yes, the Democrat party in conjunction with the Republican party run a loose oligarchy that controls American politics and keeps other political parties out. Yes, he believes in "spreading the wealth around." Yes, he's wrong on health care. But I can at least be happy about that one thing.
