“Imagine how many states Obama would have carried if he were a white guy.”

BT, I am utterly convinced that if Obama was a white guy with the EXACT same policies, background, baggage, and lack of experience, he would have been a less-experienced Dennis Kucinich. He would never have been nominated, and I think in this weeks race he would have won less states, not more.

The whole “change for the sake of change” was his platform, and the most visible “change” here is obvious. And how many votes were deliverd by the appalling spectical of “white guilt”, so ably described by Shelby Foote?

I would LOVE to have been able to vote for a black candidate who was not a quasi-socialist, or outright socialist, and had conservative values. But there was no such choice.

Maybe we need Mr. Obama to plant a richly deserved stake in the “white guilt” that is allowing Western Civilization to destroy itself. Should that follow, Mr. Obama have at least that positive virtue. And maybe he will govern to the center and do well, let us hope.

But we now get to wage a forthright, proud, and ferocious war upon the idea that America is some sort of terribly flawed nation whose European descended citizens must live lives of grovelling atonement. To use the French idiom…. Eff that. That is now done. Period. If I have Mr. obama to thank for that, consider my gratitude offered.
