i have absolutely no problem with having a person of any color in the White House. the thing that worries me is all the racial issues that will have to be tackled when a powerful black/hispanic/asian surfaces. the birthpains of shaking out all the hype and superflous political correctness will not be easy. after the nation is accustomed to the norm... i think we'll be better off.
barack obama is likeable... but he hasn't done anything yet. everyone's a rising star when you've got an engaging personality, no record to weigh you down, and a vanilla stance on all the major issues.
