On Looking Past Race - 'to Elect a Corrupt, Dangerous, Naive and Unqualified President'
Topics: Political News and commentariesYes, we could have elected more qualified blacks to the presidency such as those Ace suggests like Colin Powell (obviously a bit of a racist, himself), Michael Steele (who would make a great president), the guy who does the funny sound effects in the Police Academy movies (surely as qualified as Obama) -- yet, indeed, we went for the guy who would do his level best to destroy capitalism (the very foundation of entrepreneurship and the basis for America being the planet's powerhouse of technology, industriousness, and job creation), and our military, and turn us into at the very least a socialist country and at worst one controlled by it's Marxist masters - the liberal Demokrats and a president with a severe case of incredibly obvious narcistic personality disorder.
As IowaHawk suggests in his piece titled America Can Take Pride In This Historic, Inspirational Disaster, America has proven, once and for all, that practically anyone, regardless of their background (or no background at all), can become president via little more than Hollywood-style stagecraft and spin:
[...] Yes, I know there are probably other African-Americans much better qualified and prepared for the presidency. Much, much better qualified. Hundreds, easily, if not thousands, and without any troubling ties to radical lunatics and Chicago mobsters. Gary Coleman comes to mind. But let's not let that distract us from the fact that Mr. Obama's election represents a profound, positive milestone in our country's struggle to overcome its long legacy of racial divisions and bigotry. It reminds us of how far we've come, and it's something everyone in our nation should celebrate in whatever little time we now have left.Well done, America!
Less than fifty years ago, African-Americans were barred from public universities, restaurants, and even drinking fountains in many parts of the country. On Tuesday we came together and transcended that shameful legacy, electing an African-American to the country's top job -- which, in fact, appears to be his first actual job. Certainly, it doesn't mean that racism has disappeared in America, but it is an undeniable mark of progress that a majority of voters no longer consider skin color nor a dangerously gullible naivete as a barrier to the presidency.
[...] When Russian tanks start pouring into eastern Europe and Iranian missiles begin raining down on Jerusalem, their leaders will know they will be facing a man who not only conquered America's racial divide but the hearts of the entire Cannes film community. And those Al Qaeda terrorists plotting a dirty nuke or chemical attack on San Francisco face a stark new reality: while they may no longer need to worry about US Marines, they are looking down the barrel of a strongly worded diplomatic condemnation by a Europe fully united in their deep sympathy for surviving Americans.
