You begin to wonder why folks even bother to come here, when you see them defend the likes of Bush. You might just as well hit yourself in the face with a shovel, if you’re delusional enough to back that guy any longer.
If you’ve been the leader of this nation, and had the bully pulpit for eight years, and people still don’t know why not to vote for a man like Obama when you leave, you’ve done something wrong.
Bush failed this nation.
I’d go a little easier on W.
People joined in to vote for Obama, not because they believed in him, but because he was black, and everybody wanted a little bit of history.
Whites especially voted for him, and independents, and mostly to get a black man in the WH, despite his qualifications.
Remember, he won his primary too. Clinton, of the evils, was clearly the best of them. I begged Democrats to vote for Hillary, because as bad as she was, Obama makes her look like Zell Miller.
I have D family members, all white, all professional, who kept the newspapers from the day he was elected.
Some had them framed to commemorate the event. “Yes we did!”
Make no mistake, White Guilt elected Barak Obama, nothing more. Now we get to reap the benefit of electing the next American Idol.
