Democracy Is About Criticism. I Didn't Elect Obama Because He's A Black; I Voted For Obama Because He Was The Right Person At The Time. Period. The Exceptionalism Of A Black U.s. President Is Not Important To Me. It's What He Does. And Who He Has At The Table. And What He Does To Change The World - That's What's Important.
