This is not going to go over well considering all the crap that's going on.. so count to ten before cap'n a round off toward AZ..
I felt that O's election was a shining moment in Americas history..
As a Republican, VN Vet, Arizonian i supported Mac in 08.. I remember getting a call from my late Brother Gary the night of the elections.. Bub was a retired Major, (mustang O) 20 in uniform, another 20 in DOD.. a tad right of Gingus Cong.. Both of us felt / hoped, that while O was the opposite of our political beliefs, his back ground in academia might make up for experience..
I felt then, and to this day believe, that on that November night, America PROVED to the world it was NOT a Nation of prejudice..
The reality of course is we elected an empty suit that gave a great speech .. Our first Black POTUS could have been a Dr Ben Carson, or a Congressman like West, or a Military man like Powell.. Nope we elected an empty suit...
but he sure can deliver a speech..
As long as he has a teleprompter....
