It’s really too bad that the first black president wasn’t a conservative.
Of course, 0bama’s skin color made him the perfect cypher for a fully indoctrinated Marxist to achieve the presidency and be shielded from criticism of his beliefs and policies.
Speaking only in terms of race relations, I concur. But now I am positive that America will not elect another black to this high office in my lifetime. This experience has really stung the electorate.
I didn't expect a full true-blue conservative (is if true-red now?), but I did expect him to be a Republican, and conservative on some/most issues, at the very least.
(Okay, obviously, at one point, I thought it might be Powell. If he ran for it, he would have be a formidable -- though flawed -- candidate.)
