Not Just a President Anyore

Barack Obama isn't running for president anymore. He's running for savior for two groups of people. African Americans want him to bring an end to their long struggle for equality. Muslims want him to shed the light of tolerance and understanding on their religion. I guess John McCain is running to maintain the dominance of old white men who have a military career... Okay, that's stereotyping African Americans and Muslims, but I think most people can agree that I'm correct with regards to the overall trend. It's also not at all fair to John McCain. I've liked John for eight years and I'm not about to dislike him because he's on the wrong side of the political aisle. I think it's great that people can find someone to believe in, but I think we all need to remember that Mr. Obama is just a man like the rest of us. If we try to canonize him he will only fail us and we will be heartbroken. President isn't God. I promise. Let him be the man he is and make the mistakes he'll make and realize that the only way that blacks will be equal and Muslims appreciated is through our individual ability to love our neighbors. The government can't do it for us.
