No more than a foot note comment


IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST ENTRIES EVER in history books. For the first time in 232 years of history as a Sovereign Nation, the United States of America grants a presidential nomination to a person of African descent.
You might ask your self why the heck I am not being ultra politically correct and calling Senator Obama an African-American? Because the dash is precisely what bothers me.
Are you a citizen of the USA, be it by birth or by choice? Have you done your part in whatever way for your country? Congratulations, you are an American. Unfortunately that is not the case with all of this US and A- thus the dash initiative, at least that is the way I see it.
As I said, as an American I am proud as hell that a chance was given not based on the color of the skin but in the content of the character (know your MLK peoples). As a woman I am happy that Hillary Clinton got a milestone of her own, girl power! -Now Ms. Clinton, we all know that it is a worthy battle cry not to go gentle into that good night (know you Thomas, peoples) how ever, it is dignified that once you've lost, to go in gracefully.
As a Republican-yesssssssss Pinky-(you all know that one...) all I have to say is hats off to a worthy opponent and see ya at the polls.
