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.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Nein, nein! der Führer sagt das ist sehr verboten Heil Hitler! |
