Leaving Peggy’s public self-immolation out of the discussion . .
In the past few days I have heard some intelligent black co-workers saying quietly that they think Barak Obama’s supporters are going to be gravely disappointed, that no man in the world could carry the burden of expectation they have placed on him.
Finally, someone is saying that Barry is not Jesus. There’s a foot in the door. < /s>
Maybe your black co-workers are just fearful that when Obama screws up (as he will) the screw up will have racial connotations. He will be, after all, the first black president.
