This is wonderful gutsy piece which I fully enjoyed reading. Integrity is at a premium these days and honesty is lying on a bed of quicksand.  So it's not surprising that this astute article would bring out the dregs, the finger pointers, the malcontent and above all the pitiful, malignant, murderous racists.  President Barack Obama is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.  Gracious and intelligent in a country where the uncompromising, spiteful, neo-con right wing, have tried to curtain his every positive move.  Against all odds he has prevailed. 
The one thing that will forever remain embedded in historical safety is that he was and will remain for eternity, the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.  That in itself is reason for all people of good faith and conscience to celebrate. REAL CANADIANS wish him well.
