There is enough blame to be thrown around that both Party's have ample ammunition to attack each other over such trivialities as whether The President is black enough, or not black enough. I think we will be truly liberated when a direct descendant of African slaves is elected to the Highest Offices in the Land: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, and Chief Executive Officer of the United States of America, but I am willing to, as 62-million AMERICANS who elected our current Leader are, accept an accomplished leader in his own right... Nobody cares about such trivial things as race, but what they do care about are the Radical Right, and the Closet-Marxists in our midst, and we ALL know who THEY are, because, " ...ye will know them by their words." "And the Word was God." (Spoken and written) Methinks the biggest problem facing this country is illiteracy; whether it be the systematic mis-intrpretation of The Bible, or the Talmud, or the Koran, or Mao's Little Red Book, and even Mein Kampf... education is the Key to future success, just as President Barack Hussein Obama has proven... that THIS Continent holds the record as the longest-running Democracy in the World, and there are thousands, ney, MILLIONS, who still believe in Democracy, which clearly means, One person, one vote... none of us really care about the tint of one's skin, until it gets in the way of logical and reasoned political discourse: Then we care alot... Not what Reid, or Lott, or even Muhammed Ali, (in my opinion THE single Greatest Human Being ever born on US soil, who rightly acknowledged that he was The King of the World, O' so long ago), but America resisted, like it always does, r at least until they are told the Gospel Truth, then we will all be, in a hundred years, a beautiful shade of light brown. There is no Black and White in Utopia; only varying shades of grey. (Or brown, if you will...) I will live to see that day, perhaps another 50-years or so... and I personally dislike the terms, "White" or "Black" because we are all the Children of a Greater Power, and trust me on this... God is color-blind. Period.

...and if you want to label me, I will give you somthing to chew on... I am a Supreme, Ultra-Deluxe Liberal, having gotten here by reading everything about History that I could get my hands on... because I knew at a very young age the power of Words: "I fear three newspapers more than ten-thousand armies." [Napoleon Bonaparte] I did read that quote when I was twelve-years-old, thanks to My Dear Departed Father, who inspired me to read at the age of three...
