A VERY sensitive question - DON'T MISUNDERSTAND
If, like me, you sense a certain timidity in our President's tactics and strategy in dealing with a clearly obstructionist opposition, do you think it's possible he is considering the affect his performance as President will have on the fate of future African-American candidates? Does being 'the first' neccesitate an inherent lack of forcefulness? Will the same thing happen when we elect the first woman?
I wish there were some way we could reassure President Obama (and ourselves) that this is the one thing HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
Readers, please weigh in and keep it thoughtful.
