Randall Kennedy is eloquent and flowery, but he’s using the same flawed argument that is setting blacks up for the worst letdown in political history.
Like all liberals, he fails to ask the most important question about Obama, which is, “Where’s the beef?”
If he, and every other “enlightened” (and not-so-enlightened) liberal were to examine Obama half as closely as they’re examining Sarah Palin, they’d know that he’s not qualified to hold the office of US Senator, much less, president of the US.
I think Obama himself will largely define the reaction in how he handles defeat.
The DNC is the party of excuses but the FACT remains that the last 2 Democrats in the White House had platforms firmly in the middle. Obama does not have a middle America platform nor does he have the experience Americans are comfortable with. He has a liberal record (curse of death in Presidential elections) and questionable friends on top of it all.
It is sad that so many blacks cannot see past color. The very sin they routinely project on others. I am sure there will be riots and anger for the wrong reasons but Obama should exit gracefully to pave the way others. If he does not, I am afraid he could add decades to the chance another Black Democrat could grab the nomination.
Based on this, I believe the GOP will have the first black President in office and I would be happy with that if he/she were the best man/woman for the job!
Interestingly, I believe the more the media discusses this possibility the more they hurt Obama on election day. Nobody in their right mind wants to see anything like this. Unfortunately, Obama has many supporters he cannot control who will probably say this over and over as we get closer to Nov 4th.
