Obama's Historic Run

We have heard time and again about how 'historic' Barack Obama's run for presidency is.  

What makes it historic?

Well, first lets just throw out a little evidence, or an anecdote to set the mood:

Historic Times

So, it's historic.

Why?

I know!  Obama will change the country in historic ways.  Which ways?

These Ways

Oh.

.

.

So do journalists really want that?  Probably, but so long as I'm not being that cynical, what is really historic about Obama?

Oh, he's half black.

My only point is that I find all of these reasons to be completely inappropriate in electing a president.  In other words, socialists shouldn't be president!  And we shouldn't elect people, who are probably socialist, but ignore what they really want to do, but still get super excited that they are running, just because of race.

It's really sad.

Were discrimination and hatred sad, and pathetic?  Oh yeah, really really pathetic.  But this is pathetic too.

Hopefully they're just socialists, but I hope not...

What an election!
