A beautiful day in America.
Regardless of how you feel about Obama, today is one of the most remarkable and moving moments in American history. To think that at the founding of this great nation, Obama would have been 3/5ths of a person. To think of all those who have bled and died for equal rights for minorities, whose greatest aspiration would have been freedom for them and others, never even contemplating the possibility of a black president. To think that a mere 50 years ago, this nation was debating the merits of permitting blacks to eat in the same restaurant and drink from the same water fountain, and that an act as simple as sitting in the front of a bus would take courage and fortitude unlike anything most of us will ever experience.
Today is indeed one of the single greatest moments in American history. God bless America. Now let's get started. |

Gloating has begun. Right on cue.

Sadly, though, any opposition to Obama during his presidency will be met with the convenient shouts of racism from the left. So if your side is really interested in change, let's start with that. |

Yes, in one sense it is a beautiful day, but I wonder if libs would be saying the same thing if the first black president was a conservative republican?
BTW, that's a rhetorical question so you don't have to answer.
