Kenneth's reasoning seems twisted. His laundry list isn't at all negative thoughts. They just simply aren't critera for an objective selection for the best person to do the job. President is not a job that people should have because of color, religion, attraction to the young or favorite baseball team. Those are handicaps applied by politicians who run horse races. The voting public should not consider themselves to be watching a horse race. finally settled on Obama because of his ability to attract young people into the political process and his ability to increase participation by the African-American community. While attending a political caucus, I heard a retired African-American lawyer stand up and say that when he was in elementary school and they told him anybody could grow up to President of the US, he never believed them until the Iowa caucuses. I want every black child to grow up thinking that he or she can succeed in life.
