Kennedy stole that election.
According to Saint Victor Davis of Hanson:
“In a broader sense, the pessimistic Obama theme is that elites have stacked the deck against the average Joe, who can’t get a doctor, pay for his children’s college education, or pay his mortgage. Therefore, we must take back more income from the better-paid and hire a lot more people in government like Barack Obama to more wisely administer the money.”
Obviously, VDH, up on his Mount Olympus, has no idea of the struggle working and middle-class people have to face every day, or he would never have made such a stupid, snide remark. Better he should go back to watching his “300” DVD.
Let Obama be Obama and also let Michelle Obama be Michelle Obama. I can just see her press conference after her hubby wins the nomination. “Now we can finally challenge that racist, cracker John McCain. And this is still a horrible, mean, racist country. Thank you very much, and please vote for my husband.”

‘...as the first African-American candidate to seriously contend for either party’s nomination, Obama offers Americans a sort of collective redemption at home...’
Hey, this warrants the old parenthetical “barf alert”!
This need for “collective redemption” from slavery is getting really old. The Emancipation Proclamation was over 140 years ago; I never owned slaves, nor did any of my ancestors. Many of our ancestors DIED freeing the slaves. Get over it already.
