Oddly enough, it is the fault of Obama's most fervent supporters that America will not abide another President of color...and probably won't have a democrat woman president either (yes, that means no Hillary). The reason is almost as stupid as why this president garnered the support he did during his first campaign. He represented hope, change and a fresh approach to politics, with no history, no experience and no real ability to lead. This doesn't mean that a black man cannot lead, or have talent, in fact this last year we saw the emergence of a very qualified leader and businesman in Herman Cain. But when the entire populace in America who fundamentally disagrees with the leftist aggressive governmental control over so many aspects of American life voiced any concern, any reservations, or any constitutional challenges to the manner in which this president governs, they are called racist. This may be an effective way of shutting up some Americans with "white guilt"; but at some point, Americans are going to realize that they no longer have a voice to raise any concerns in their life without being called a racist, and that will not sit well when they have to decide if it is worth voting for someone they will not be able to disagree with without being reduced to an angry white hater. it is sad when all we want is to be heard on the issue of wars, budgets or lightbulbs...all of which could not have any less to do with the presidents race than, say, his gender.
This argument holds for the possibility of a woman in the white house as well, at least for democrats. Can you imagine Hillary giving a state of the union speach, and some guy in congress challenging her "it takes a village" nonsense? The first response from Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be to say it has always taken a village, and then she will say that the village is succeeding in raising the kids in America, and then she will say that mysogonist republicans are just woman haters because they want women to be shackled to an oven instead of running the free world. Of course, if Sarah Palin is elected, there will be an open season for democrats trying to tear her down as the "milf in chief", or some other derogatory term, but the media won't come to her aid, and Debbie, well, she will probably just say that a republican woman has thin skin. But the point is, elections, as well as spin, have consequences, and when you stiffle free speach, and open dialogue about issues, in the name of protecting a minority or woman from criticism, there is less accountability, worse results, and a building resentment toward giving anyone else in the demographic a chance in the future.
To not be able to say this president is one of the worst presidents, because we have to protect the first black man to hold the office, is the most insulting thing you can do to the black race. It would be like saying it is ok for a crippled president to put into consentration camps, thousands of innocent Japanese men, women and children without due process, and then systematically break down the entire constitutional republic we have lived with...all because he made a daring speach and then stood up. Way to go FDR, nice posture, but you imprisoned an entire racial sector of America...destroyed our constitution, stacked your idiot cronies onto the supreme court and started this country on the ruinous road to the poorhouse that we find ourself on this very day...but you had leg braces, so let us cut you some slack. We havent had another cripple in the white house since, unless you count the mental midget with the superiority complex in there now...but it will be a long time before we get fooled again...wait, the Republicans are gonna elect whom? Well, at least we know that Mitt will change his position when enough democrats start pressuring him. Will there be a presidential seal on his magical underwear? Are we allowed to criticize a Mormon? I can't believe so many people in America think this choice is ok. If there was ever a time for a third party candidate, even if the candidate is a gay, pygmie amputee, oh think of what she could get away with...yeah,I said she...what, are you some kind of bigot?
