LOL. What most people dont know was the makeup of the 'Obama coalition' - the majority of whites didn't vote for BO so there was never any hope of a post-racial America. I understand reasonable disagreement with his politics but what he faced during his tenure was backlash from whites on a rampage of 'we want our country back' (read 'uppity N', how dare you) and a congress whose goal was to ensure he had 'no wins' even when it was a republican idea (Romneycare). MO was described by these racists as having a 'certain kind of uppitiness'. Lets face it, conservatives exhibit a mean/hateful streak (toward democrats) that was exacerbated by BO being black. It is clear to any reasonable person that he is classy, dignified, and yes, cool (if one has a clue what these mean) but haters are not about to give him that either. I would just note the privileged white 'republican' poised to take the office versus how BO carried himself under the onslaught.
