First, I am not going to listen to one word Obama says. I am going to watch what he does. Unfortunately, most of the folks who voted for him don't seem to care about his record of actions and achievements. I think Rush had it right when he said that mass of the great unwashed the other night seemed shocked when Obama said everyone was going to have to struggle and sacrifice. I understand the significance of a non-caucasian winning the office of POTUS, but I don't get why everyone seems so focused on that.

Was that the point of this election? To break down barriers or was it to elect the best person for the job? I think we now have our answer based on all of the post election coverage. I just wish that the color/gender barrier would have been broken at the same time the best person for the job was elected.

So, basically we have elected our first affirmative action president.

People are always so shocked when they sell their souls to the devil and he presents them with the bill.

You know, I asked that very question to family members across the aisle yesterday and was vilified. I still don’t have an answer from them as far as B. Hussein Obama’s qualifications to be POTUS.

Good points. And that is the point I’ve made all along.

As the US military is no place for social experimentation such as allowing open homosexuality, so the Presidency of the US is no place for affirmative action.
