In fact the only thing I comforted myself with on election night was that at least the color barrier had been broken.

I never even cared. The man was completely undeserving of being President and has probably ruined the chances of Blacks being elected President for 200 years. Any Black candidate from now on will draw incredulous gasps and, "Are you kidding? After the last one?" When someone is undeserving of the office, his color is no qualification and of little solace. He is our First Affirmative Action President. I turn it over in my head and can see no reason why he was elected over others. You go down a list of qualifications and there are much better people suited for the job. Then you get to race. He's got everyone beat there if you are going to use Affirmative action standards.
