Believe it or not there's a segment of the right wing nuts who are already engineering for his failure. This election was symbolic in so many ways. African Americans were widely disenfranchised from voting until the National voting act of 1965 which tried to clean up some of these practices. African Americans are still widely discriminated against when it comes to education, jobs, promotions, housing, etc. That's why this is such a huge step forward that for a group of people who are still treated as second class citizens in parts of the U.S., one of "us" was able to break that ceiling into the highest office in the land.<BR/>Slight correction on your post: According to Barack's first book, his stint with drugs was very short during his under-grad years (and to his defense, peer pressure during those years can be fairly strong). I think he had ditched that habit by the time he got to law school.<BR/>But all in all, VIVA OBAMA!
