Amazing when ya think of it. We’ve never had a President other than a white male of northern European descent, and suddenly we’re thisclose to being led by the son of an African Muslim who spent a good deal of his formitive years being raised by an Asian Muslim in a Muslim nation.
As he told an Iowa crowd a few months ago “The day I’m inaugurated, I think this country looks at itself differently, but the world also looks at America differently, because I’ve got a grandmother who lives in a little village in Africa without running water or electricity; because I grew up for part of my formative years in Southeast Asia in the largest Muslim country on Earth.” The quote is from here:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/28/AR2007112802757.html
I’m sure the world will “look at America differently” once he’s elected. And that’s unfortunate.
