Difference Made

Ok, no more fooling around, it's time for me to get back in the swing of things and, boy, do I have a list of stuff to write about. The article referenced here is an opinion article about how Obama getting elected won't change the political scene for the better, but that the political scene has already changed to allow him to be where he is now. I have to agree with him. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can both testify to the difficulty of being a black man running for President. Neither of them got nearly this close. I think that's because Obama isn't running as a black man, he's running as an American who has policies he believes in. He's not the race-card playing, white-man hating, hate-speech giving black politician everyone seems to be afraid of. Hopefully those kind of politicians will be voted out of the system and more Obamas will be voted in.

A brief note: blacks are not the only group of people who play a race card or hate people of different colors, or give invective-laced orations, but Obama can't bring change to those other groups (white men), that's what I'm here for.
