I would believe it would NOT have been about skin color if he was actually a proven politician with experience and accomplishments that had ran for president. Sadly, he was not.

I guess I don't see what's funny. If you think it's funny that the country station(s) in question refused to acknowledge the inauguration of the 44th President, well... I guess I wouldn't know how to react to that.

Or the only significance would be that the white guy taking the office of the presidency would be someone other than Bush.

The American public has become fond of double standards. So on this day, as we celebrate a first in American history, which is quite significant, we embrace this double standard that we’ve created. In the coming days, weeks, months and years it’ll be the content of his character, and not the color of his skin, that will be significant. We’ll see if the roots of his character are of any significance.

Celebrate! Enjoy this day. It’ll never be repeated.

And every president since him was GREAT ? Weren't attacked by foreigners on our home soil until 9/11 . So, every single president, even good ole Nixon, was a great president in your eyes ?

Before Bush, we got attacked soooo often, glad he put a stop to it.



Racism runs strong in our country (just read this thread !) I feel it is a huge deal that a black man made president. Read through some of our old threads. Remember the hezbollah fist jab. I am sure the same things would be said if he was white.

Because he did make it, doesn't mean racism is gone. Don't be so foolish.

People saying he made pres. because he is black ?


ok, my 2 cents added.
