Obama is riding a wave of audacious hope. Right now, he can walk on water–as far as the media, most blacks, and the glitterati are concerned.

Remember David Dinkins and the New York mayorial race? Dinkins brought the exact same audacious hope and “magical negro” sense (not my phrase) to the political scene. Dinkins was coronated mayor of New York in a triumphalist fashion.

After making a thorough shambles of New York City, Dinkins left by the back door. Enter Rudy Giuliani–the true “saviour of NYC”, and the rest is history.

Is it necessary for the entire USA, and the free world, to go through the same degradation by Obama, as NYC was put through by Dinkins?
