I wonder, 20, 30, 50, even 100 years hence, how our children and
theirs will view McCain's concession speech.

If for no other reason than Obama broke another color barrier the way
Jackie Robinson did for sports, it is likely this election will be
notable. Only the future will tell how his presidency will turn out,
but we can all as Americans hope for the best.

McCain's concession speech will also stand out, more than most, not
for the defeated candidate's well-wishing and genuinely graceful
comments (which, frankly, are expected from the losing candidate in a
democracy), but for the crowd's loud boos and unruly nastiness.

Through the lens of history, what will they say about us booing the
new President-Elect?
Will the ascribe this to naked racism? It sure looks that way from a
naive observers' point of view.

Yes you are indeed naive. Obama was being, and will be, booed because of his
Liberal/Democrat/Marxist policy ideas. Not necessarily because anyone is racist.

However, that is the spin that the Liberal/Democrat/Marxists will place on ANY
opposition to his policy objectives.
