#1 But Obama's victory moves our old baseline of racial expectations to a higher and happier level

No, Fred, it doesn't. It just marks the fact that the diversity/affirmative action insanity has reached all the way to the top of the political food chain. Anyone who thinks this lying bastard's election was good for anything is seriously deluded. What it really shows is a)that skin color trumps competence, honor sacrifice and experience, and b)that the black populace of the U.S. is irredeemably racist. No WHITE candidate ever got 95% of the white vote.

I'm disgusted with the performance of the electorate this election. I will, however, have the grim satisfaction of seeing most of the stupid bastards who voted for him live to bitterly regret their action in doing so.

They deserve what they'll get. Unfortunately, a lot of other people will have to share in the reckoning they've brought on themselves.

#2 The future's market on 'white guilt' took a hit. Maybe not as big as oil, but its now on the down turn. Those who've always pimped themselves out won't change, but the value to others is going to have less impact as time and performance pass.

#4 Should've filed this under "obits". Maybe he can get a job loading beer trucks at his kid's place.

#5 In November, 2007, Jesse had an opportunity to purchase exclusive rights to sell all African themed black light velvet canvas art paintings sold east of the Mississippi River, including Candada and Mexico. He took a pass. Rumor is that some white guy named Rahm owns the rights now. Hence the tears.

#6 I understand why 95% of blacks voted for Obama. If you don't then you should open up a history book. Regardless of his being a vapid marxist, his race did matter to them, hugely. That a black man could run for and win the highest office in the land is a major milestone. I don't begrudge them one bit.

#7 Remoteman, I don't "begrudge them" one bit, either. However, not being patronizing or racist myself, I make the appropriate conclusions about their political maturity and responsibility. You might want to think about that. The condescension towards blacks, masquerading as broad-mindedness and historical sensitivity, is just another discouraging confirmation that race relations are trapped in PC bizarro world.

Naturally I refuse to begin lumping people together on this, as on anything else. Worked as a civilian alongside and under too many outstanding black Americans in uniform - many of whose reactions to the last few years equals mine in despair and anger - to do so. And I know some them are as appalled as I am at all this.

#8 Verlaine, I would argue the fact that blacks have traditionally voted more than 90% for the Dem presidential candidate as far more concrete evidence of their political maturity, or lack thereof. Of course the Irish/Catholics did the same thing until Kennedy was elected.

Regardless, now they have their black man in the White House, and they will get to see how effective he is, or not.

#9 Maybe Jackson could apply for the job of a mohel.

#10 understand why 95% of blacks voted for Obama.

Remoteman, to put it into a proper perspective, imagine a Jewish POTUS candidate with 95% of the USA Jews voting for him. Hell, imagine an Italian ...

#11 Jackson isn't going to give up his shakedown racket. It is too soon to start the real complaining, but by Feb expect to start hearing whispers that Obama "isn't black enough" and that a Kenyan can't have an authentic sense of the ghetto life. Jackson won't say that sort of thing himself, of course; but Obama will start to need somebody to help maintain good relations with the black communities, and who better than "Benjamins" Jackson?
