The Obama Argument

I thought that this was an interesting take on the whole Barack Obama thing. Especially how his stature may be viewed differently even among blacks, dividing along people who's roots are in America or like myself who is a first generation American (as the piece indicates, this also goes for Colin Powell who is from a family of Jamaicans like myself).

I'm inclined to believe that this is why I tend to put more stock into the idea of pulling yourself up by bootstraps rather than the "world owes me a living" mindset that I see affecting so many black Americans.

And email me to tell me about it?
