Following Obama’s election to the presidency so much has been written about “equality” and “America having finally come of age” etc. but few have questioned if it’s true or even thought to ask what will happen if he fails.
Would Obama have won if the Republicans had been able to put up a more viable candidate.
The answer is probably ‘no’.
Huge numbers of Republicans failed to vote and many that might have voted Republican didn’t vote because of McCain’s age and other factors.
If you question the above then just consider how popular Palin’s rallies were even though her beliefs and stances offended so many.
After her nomination she not only attracted bigger crowds than McCain but often bigger ones than Obama a well.
Just over three years ago Condoleezza Rice was seriously considered in many circles as a possible candidate for the Presidency and we heard similar comments to those that we’re hearing now about Afro-Americans.
But judged by any yardstick, Rice was a disaster.
Whereas I wish Obama well he has little likelihood of success and every chance of failure because the odds are heavily stacked against him.
Even if he does everything ‘right’, Americans will not be feeling any relief from the economic crisis even two years from now and they will have watched people losing their houses and jobs for those two long years.
The result of this prognosis should be plain.
The Democrats would be cast out and Obama would in all likelihood follow them and finish his first term in ignominy.
The question that then begs and answer is, “How long would it then take before America saw another Afro-American Secretary of State or President?”.
I imagine that this so called ‘equality” would be once again delayed for many decades because America was so slow to experiment a first time one can fairly safely assume that it would be much slower to experiment a second time.

I believe that lack of difference to Condie Rice is tantamount to the same reason that Colin Powel is out of favor: namely both tried faithfully to follow the Bush (Cheney) doctrine of complete justification of the Iraq War while knowing the whole line of searching for Bin Laden was a complete an Utter lie. Few people on the whole would suffer calling the President a liar while still respecting his office. The Same sympathy is not however transferred to the Secretary of State.
Chances of Obama lifting the U.S. out of the morass created by Bush /FED is slim. In spite of this Obama will probably be given benefit of the doubt during his first term because only Superman could reverse this situation in less than 4 years.
After 8 years I think your perspective in the article could be very true!
