With apologies to George Lucas.
Well, we had high hopes that the first post-racial president would be both competent and a national healer, Instead, he's demonstrated the same level of competence that he showed throughout the rest of his life's endeavors. (Sigh!)
On top of that, he has engaged in the racial divisiveness that is so typical of the Democratic Party in recent decades -- if you cannot create a victorious political party from common beliefs, create one by kludging-together a plethora of self-interest groups. And if you have to destroy the national unity of the people to achieve that, so be it. (Sad)
It is almost horrible that I yearn for those terrible days after 9/11 when our nation was truly united, if only in grief anf if only for a short time.
E Pluribus Unem.Anyway, perhaps
another new face on the political battlefield will carry the day towards true economic competence and national racial-healing? Let's home so. Perhaps this man's experience as a true executive, his battles with real-life adversity, and his skill as a unifier, will serve the country well.
I'm praying.
