Huh......... he's just a man who was elected president. I'm not moved by his color. I just want him to do the best job he can to fix this mess we are in and stop wasting our tax dollars.

I could care less what color his skin is, either. But....he is the first black man elected President so that's bound to generate some celebration. Regardless of what color he is, what gender, whatever......he's taken on a monumental task and I will pray for him everyday.

I started this thread on a good note (I thought) and if it turns political or nasty I will ask the Mods to shut it down. Period.
