Islam extremist around the world will strap on their best bomb belts, raise their box cutters to the sky and praise Allah. With a copy of the Koran in one hand and a remote detonator in the other they will finally agree with America's millions of savvy voters. Should Obama win, this will be an historical event of great proportion. North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il will lower his Blue Blockers as he sheds a tear of joy. Obama has to be the most blatantly naive senator to ever grace our slithery political landscape. He has been an admitted friend and follower of Reverend Wright for over twenty years and has not realized his disdain for America. During his church services he never detected a hint of Jeremiah's utter disgust for his country. Either Obama is very aloof or like most self professed Christians he fell asleep during the sermon. Anti-Americans across the globe will rejoice if the man with no plan is elected, that in itself will be an historical event.

I guess I am supposed to talk about Obama being the first "black" president elected. Color, however, is such a shallow reason to be celebrated. It is sad that this country is so diluted with political correctness and liberal mind molding, that the shade of a mans skin out weighs our very existence. By all accounts the only thing black about Obama is his father. Aren't you supposed to come from the inner city to be black? Don't you have to feel the oppression from the man to be black? I thought you had to have no father, no money, and speak in slang or your considered a sellout. The liberal media tells me this so it must be factual. The only historical importance of Obama becoming president is the bookmark of incompetence it will place in this nations history. I think we can agree that the George Bush era is enough to catapult any fresh face into office, but we must use more digression.

Then there is Hillary. The North American Man Boy Love Association will be jumping for joy. We've already had the pleasure of Mrs.Clinton's political revelations and results when she ran the country to the ground under, the ruse of her husband holding office. Hillary brings nothing new to this country. She brings what would have been, had Bill ran another four years. Another four years of separating the races for political gain, the trampling of the traditional family values,and the continued homosexual integration into normal society. She personifies the typical liberal "one trick pony" and the show is over. Her record in the senate says it all, isn't that enough?

It is a shameful gimmick. Does this country really care about setting a new precedent by electing the first woman or the first black leader. Shouldn't we strive for something more historical, a leader with common sense perhaps, one that doesn't do the white house shuffle when they are held accountable. Let's expect more from our leaders, it starts from expecting more from ourselves. We shouldn't celebrate the gender or race of our new president, we should celebrate their performance, which is a much overlooked concept in this race.
