Obama as president could be the best thing this country has seen in a long time...

not just because he would be a Democratic president needed in a time when our country is going belly-up, but it could finally be the start of healing racial fears.

You don't have to go far to read something about the "racial divide" in this country--which stems from ignorance and fear. It doesn't matter what state you live in. It's there in some form or another.

Good grief. It's the 21st century:crazy: If not now, when?

1. Maybe, but the thing that wowrries me the most is whoever the
next President is, their job is going to be almost impossible for the first 3-4 years! There are sooo many problems EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK! Our Country & it's government is near the point if you compare it to experts looking at a distressed building, they say, it's such a disaster...the best is to tear it down and build a new one!

Because of the SCOTUS, I sure don't want a Pub in that office, but I'm scared, worried, concerned & feel sorry for whoever the Dem is.

3. Last time we had a black president....
...we were almost annihilated by an asteroid. Really, by comparison Obama will have it easy!
