Well, here we go. In the past, the slew of old white men voted into the American Presidency were skewered by cartoonists, comedians, writers, social commentators, media personalities and political opponents alike. This time, things are different. As the run up to the election proved, Barack Obama is NOT like any other president - and like Hillary Clinton, any use of mockery, sarcasm, black humor (excuse the reference) or negative imagery will be met with a broadside (again - apologies) of outrage - the original message or legitimate criticism buried under a pile of indignation.If the world is truly working toward an altruistic model of brotherhood - sisterhood - kinship....ah hell whatever - then we must move past the pettiness and toward an ability to give it and take it with aplomb. Nixon was a sweaty crook - Ford was a bumbler - Carter was a rube peanut farmer - Reagan was a vacant actor - Clinton was a skirt chasing liar - Bush was a criminal and an idiot. What will the legacy of America's first multi-racial rich lawyer be? I can hardly wait to see, but I won't be holding my breath.
