#1 Only decades earlier a man like Barack Obama -- a black man -- couldn't even drink from the same water fountain as a white man,

Yes, that still is in living memory, but it's also well over a half a century in time. It's only been a country for about 224 years since the ratification of the constitution. It's over two generations ago. How about giving up the white guilt. We did something very few cultures and civilization have ever done in an historically amazingly short period of time. Time to congratulate yourselves and quit allowing other to get power over you by beating you over the head with it.

#3 when a lying racist jackhole like John Lewis, living off past good, can lie about being spit on during their march to the capitol with Pelosi, despite all video and witness evidence to the contrary, and Breitbart's bounty on proof, it still is a hammer to be used.

F*ck them

#4 That we could elect an African-American to lead the free world is indeed a very good thing.

"O's" leadership is lacking. As a result, the free world is more rather than less dangerous.

#5 No, a good think is electing a capable leader of the free world.

What we have now is 'not optimal'..... (more like anti-optimal).

#6 On Nov. 4, 2008, millions gathered at the ballot box to prove, once and for all, that, in large measure, we as a nation have healed from our disgraceful, self-inflicted wounds of racial abuse, bias and division.

-and further proved that voting based on emotion and mis-placed guilt vice rational thought is dangerous in a representative democracy...I voted for the un-vetted, un-tried, smooth talking African-American slickster over the other guy but at least that proves I'm not a racist (puke).

#7 PS:

He is taking your money with no intention on trying to win a close contest, otherwise how do you describe his campaign?
