To me, this is minor. I don't look at it as having elected a black man, I look at it as we elected a man who happens to be black. To me, his color is irrelevant.

Oh sure you say that now, but what happens down the line when they decide to add his face to Mt. Rushmore?

It's not minor. His value as a person and as a President are not affected by the color of his skin. But the fact that he was elected is NOT a minor commentary on the progress of our country.

I'm not glad a black man is President. I'm glad we are a country that is willing to elect a black man.
