5. The answer is yes....he doesn't have all of the wiggle |
|
room that Bush was given by the media. Americans have a notoriously short memory and a couple of years from now, if we are still deep in a recession and still in the quagmire of Afghanistan and Iraq, all of those things will be blamed on Obama.
His daughters will have to be nearly perfect as well.

10. Joking aside you are correct |
|
if he and Michelle had Palins' kids he would have blasted to hell by the media and our culture.
Obama knows there is a double standard, he knows that Jackie Robinson has to undergo shit when he integrated baseball. To me his presidency is the same thing but on a different level.

12. You are correct, it is a different level... |

It's far more subtle than the blatant garbage Jackie had to put up with.

18. The truth is yes, he will |

The first anything of anything has to be better. They have to be better to get there and they have to be better to stay there. I don't know if CNN should be the one bringing this up, but it's definitely something people are thinking about. I'm sure that Obama is thinking about it himself.
