two great posts - you're right, they should love Obama, and they just don't. Love your lines
and yeah, maybe if he had fought hard and fast...but he's just not that kind of guy. He's a conciliatory guy, who tried to reach across the aisle, not realizing how much they weren't going to cooperate with him. I'm not sure he still knows how bad it is...
ANd this would be great (from your second post)
he's just not the kind of guy to realize the futility of it all. he can't admit that there are people who can't get over his skin color. I mean, it's got to be so humiliating for him to admit something like that.. who would want to admit it? It would just be a fuck lot easier to go on thinking that you can make a difference if you try enough..so I can't blame him there
I understand the bitterness thats always in the black community.. I mean he's a smart,good looking,well educated,well spoken, family man and all around 'good' guy.. but 1/2 the country only sees he's black and nothing else matters to them but that..
I just wish he could have been our 4th 'black' president as well as the 1st ya know.. by the '4th' people would finally calm down and he's the guy who could have done great by not just the country, but the world.. the potential was always there but the racists just wouldn't let it be realized..
