It would be instructive for many if Dr Sowell were ever asked to express these thoughts in the mass media. I would think Fox would want to consult him, especially now they are so focused on the topic of Obama. Perhaps he is too intelligent for that forum, perhaps something like the intelligence Bob Tyrrell brings: it is undeniable but also somehow fails to come across in the medium, which seems too shallow to accommodate the experience.
Then again, who would have the temerity to argue with him?

No doubt it is only a matter of time before there is a black president, just as it was only a matter of time before Paul Waner got his 3,000th hit. The issue is whether we want to reach that landmark so badly that we are willing to overlook how questionably that landmark is reached. May I say it? Crack! Mr. Sowell hits it out of the park.

If the first black President is someone like Thomas Sowell we would have to count our country truly blessed.
To: BelegStrongbow; jazusamo
I would believe Dr. Sowell has probably been approached for such Media discussions, but is wary of such “opportunities”. I wouldn’t bother with such circus were I he.
Thanks for the ‘Ping’ Jaz. Once again Dr. Sowell does his best.

I believe he should appear more in the media but I understand he doesn't like to travel. I did see him on Hannity & Colmes last year and here's a link to a portion if you didn't see it.

This is an excellent post. Sowell indeed did hit it out of the park!
I’m fanning this to some of my 30 plus friends for them to think about, I mean really to think about. There are three lefty liberals among them but I haven’t given up hope yet!
Thank you Mr. Sowell!

"Although Senator Obama has presented himself as the candidate of new things -- using the mantra of "change" endlessly -- the cold fact is that virtually everything has says about domestic policy is straight out of the 1960s and virtually everything he says about foreign policy is straight out of the 1930s."
LOL. That is so well said -- Dr. Sowell has just inspired my new tagline!! (I hope he doesn't mind that I borrowed it from him)

Sorry, I didn’t check to see that the link was still active and it’s not. :-(

Dr. Sowell has been very outspoken in his criticism of Obama in several of his columns. :)

Yes. However, I suspect Dr. Sowell is too smart to want to be President.
More’s the pity.

This remarkable man never fails to get it right, and me right when I read his words.

By a similar line of reasoning we should not want Shrillary to be the “1st Woman President” either!!!!
Let that great milestone be reached in a manner worthy of honor and acclaim, not disappointment and disgrace!

There is no reason why someone as arrogant, foolishly clever and ultimately dangerous as Barack Obama should become president -- especially not at a time when the threat of international terrorists with nuclear weapons looms over 300 million Americans.I told my wife tonight that I ask myself everyday why someone like Obama would even consider running for the Presidency: doesn't he know the President may have to make a decision that could end in the deaths of thousands of people?
His arrogance and foolishness prevent him from making a decision that would kill thousands of innocent people in another country, even if that decision would save the lives of thousands of innocent Americans.
And he doesn't have the ability to protect this nation against a nuclear attack: I strongly feel that he'd sleep better at night knowing that a nuclear bomb went off here in America because he wasn't willing to preemptively go to war against a nation like Iran.
