My message to my fellow honkies who may have trepidations at the thought of an Obama administration would be this. His will not be the first black family to live in the White House. His will be the first that did not live in the servant's quarters of the White House. There's nothing to be afraid of. The world will not come to an end when this happens. As a matter of fact, the world might even improve a little bit - maybe even a whole heck of a lot! Certainly, it cannot be argued that the way the world perceives the United States will improve dramatically. If we continue down this twisted road of Conservative lunacy, we're going to look like a bunch of knuckleheads, don'cha think?
The piece I wrote on January 6, which was called "Making History in Iowa" ended this way:
"You know, I was just thinking : This son-of-a-b*tch just might be able to pull this thing off! Wow!"
Dear Lord, keep him safe.
