When you look at Obama, you do see America, you see more people in common with him than not and things are trending to that being the norm, you see a
combination of an intelligent, witty and possibly as equally down to earth individual mixed and matching many other ethnicities not just African
American.
I would like to see some pictures and articles as well when he was making his way through college and law school, some more information on his
challenges then and how it felt to be the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review, and what it was like to graduate Magna Cum
Laude.
I think what happened during the campaign was repugnant to paint this man as a nobody, with no experience or some person possibly given everything he
had, painting his only skills as a community organizer minimizing his real credentials and stellar educational accomplishments, when before us is a
very brilliant individual with much to offer and is an example for many to attempt to follow but we know this would be quite a difficult challenge for
99% of most people to fully duplicate.
All Americans should feel happy that we do not have another mediocre intellect, or some complete idiot unable to think in the White House, or some hot
headed fly boy that really was not that bright in his college days, especially at this juncture in our history, I think when people get photos that
might not be the best or portray him in a negative way, are just futile attempts to again try to reinforce some of the previously incorrect and
inappropriate stereotypes perpetuated in the campaign.
I want to see some pictures of him after staying up days and days studying, that cigarrete pic looks like he has been out celebrating or something
after an all nighter but passed his exams!!!
