Excuse me for being naive, but how long is this going to fly before the world stops looking at him as the "first black/Afro-American president" and starts talking about him as simply "President Obama"?
If you ask me, its already getting old, already.

I suspect this is closely related to the portrayal of the British as having bad teeth and lousy food, the French being rude and elitist, and the Australians drinking Foster's beer, saying Crikey and mostly eating barbequed shrimp. Stereotyping?
Crikey!!! What have you got against tossing a shrimp on the barbie while knocking back a cold one? |

i am overwhelmed with emotion about the election of our next president. as some of you know, i work in the media and my job is to be neutral observer. but once i saw on Tuesday night that Obama had won Pennsylvania and Ohio and had more than 200 electoral votes, i couldn't stop grinning, and almost cried a couple of times in my office. and forget about trying to sing Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," or listening to MLK's i've-been-to-the-mountaintop speech.
i also have serious concerns for the president-elect. his will be the most scrutinized presidency ever. and i hate to think about it but i'm sure there are others out there who would like to see this presidency end ... ummm ... prematurely.
for now i'm gonna keep smiling and play Sam Cooke only when i'm alone.
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
(sniffle) now why'd you have to go and do that, Airbolt? |

| I read a brilliant critic refer to Obama's election as Batman Begins after eight long years of Batman and Robin. |
