only in america

i hate politics. and this is not a political statement. i don't care what color you are. if you are male or female. yes, today was a great day in american history. there is no doubt. but nobody seems to mention america never had a chance to vote for an african american president before this election. just that this day in history took too long to arrive. and it did. but i think the only african american that even came close to running for president was jesse jackson. maybe al sharpton. alan keyes. come on, i don't even think their own mothers would have voted for them. there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we would have already had an african american president before now if there would have been one that ran and had some credibility. after all we voted dubya to the helm for eight years. colin powell. john lewis. even bill cosby. i would vote for any one of those men without question. because i respect them. but when we do finally get a chance his middle name is hussein.
