I hear what your saying Shellshock. The weight of expectation on Obama's shoulders is immense. A lot of people may be expecting miracles, his election in itself is just short of a miracle when as you say 40 years or so ago black people struggled for the right to even vote. I personally think this will have a positive impact on world affairs, and yes in one term it will be difficult to achieve.
Pokey i hear you too man and i fear the same thing, i hope Obama can have a legacy like King's without the tragic outcome of having to become a martyr. This event shows that alot of American people are ready to look beyond skin colour, and judge future candidates on merit.
Someone asked me the other day 'How can a black man run a white country?' I told them what i see is an American running America.
