(31,112 posts)President Barack Obama proved that a non old white man could not only do the job, but to be blunt, do it better than almost all of his predecessors.
Couple exceptions, FDR and Lincoln, maybe.
No president was less scandalized or more decent and honest. No other president was subjected to a fraction of the hate and obstruction he was, and yet he did everything in his power to be nonpartisan. He even went so far as to offer up Social Security (which I was not happy about), but their blind racist hatred of him prevented them from jumping on that.
When he said Trayvon Martin could have been his son, the opposition party lost their minds. He could have been his son, and the comment was perfect and in a sane world would never would it be seen as divisive.
