Yes Obama did have a lot of unwanted baggage he came to office with. And yet in the end he was no genius as even his supporters admit now. Still it sucks to see him having to prove his "Blackness" to some, and "non-Blackness" to the rest. Good read though, thanks for sharing :agree: There is also a good article on how the young generation is not buying houses and is very mobile, in the same edition of Atlantic. You may like it.

I am very disappointed with Obama's tenure till now. I like him as a man just not as a President, his inexperience before he became Prez really shows.
