Here's a thought: the legacy, the stigma he's about to lay down for ALL blacks in the US. If the nations first black president screws this up, won't he cast a very unfavorable light on his race.Conversely he'll open the doors of oppurtunity for blacks for decades if he does the country right.

I sure as hell wouldn't want that responsibility. So...what's it gonna' be ? Mainstream or Marxist ?

You do have a very interesting and troubling point.

As a Black American, I too have some serious concerns about this issue, especially when there are more than enough capable Black Conservative politicians that could serve this country well. And it doesn't help to have that horrid perception of all Black politicians being Socialists.

...There has got to be quite a weight on Obama's shoulders right now.
