Its growing old and its wonderful that Obama is in office as the first African American president just so America can start to get over this, as well as other countries.
I agree with you...I believe race was involved...I've known it from the start, and like MMM said, I've tried to hold it, but *shakes head* I just can't any more! Yeah, I think it's great and all too that he's the first African-American President, but don't you think it's gone a little over-board?
