I have NO idea what this means. Do you mean some sort of racism support group? Never heard of 'em. Where can I sign up? @pengovsky -

I hope he will pay more than lip service to their very real issues. @aya - Blackness is a LIVED experience. When he walked down the street he was seen and dealt with as a black man. There is no "authentic" black experience handed down by parents or bestowed to him upon his wedding day. If you heard Obama's "race speech", during his upbringing there were more than a few incidences where his white grandmother made his blackness (and the way some people felt about it) painfully clear with her own racist comments. Oh ALSO, Obama's sister is NOT white. See this story --> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/14/politics/main3831108.shtml @Dr.ARF- good point about him mentioning indigenous Americans.

I can believe that his handlers/CIA told him BS and he believed it...but that's beside the point. Had I been President I would have never used some BS WMD excuse as a basis for going there. But I am for cleaning up messes that you create. Frankly, the USA as well as a few European nations have had a hand in f'ing up the Middle East region over the last century. It's all in the history books so..I won't blabber on about it. I honestly blame Bush Sr., for the mess that is Iraq. Had we done things right back in 91' and removed Saddam at the time, I'm sure we wouldn't have the mess we have now. But we listened to the all mighty UN at the time. The guys that have become so good at "sitting by while genocide occurs", time after time after time. Sad. :( @pengovsky: Point. :) Although, I don’t think I’ll be ever sure that Bush knew it was a lie when he told the nation.

The WMD-hide-and-seek we've witnesed prior to war in Iraq is a fuck-up to remember and should never happen again. One more episode like this and the world can spiral well back into 19th century politics, when war was a legitimate extension of a nation's foreign policy. Re: disappointment: Agreed. It's just that Big O. is facing a very steep uphill battle. But I don't think he should be given any special breaks. He got the job because he promised to do it better than "the other guy". Let's see what he's made of. @Michael N: Point :mrgreen: Altough -and I’m speaking stricly for myself here - an unlawful invasion of a sovereign country (which for better or for worse Iraq was) based on a lie and fabricated facts is something to remember.

He is not a superman. He is a president-elect, who inherits two wars, the worst financial crisis in almost 80 years, a deficit of galactic proportions. He's got his work cut out for him just keeping country afloat. @Aja: Disappointment will surely come. He is not a superman.
