Barack Obama, as winner of the South Carolina Democratic primary, is now the leader in the race for the Democratic nomination to run for President of the United States. For one, such as myself, who grew up under Jim Crow rules, this is a most remarkable development.
The Republicans will rant and rave that this "person" (read black person) doesn't have the experience to be President. These are the same people who voted for and elected George W Bush as president who, as we all know not only lacked experience, but worse lacked the intelligence to be a good president, and has given us 7 years of the worst presidency in our history.
No matter who wins the election for President, recovery from the disaster of the Bush administration will be long and difficult, and we will suffer the pain of it for a generation or more.
