  1. I thought Barack transcnded race and gender. I thought his candidacy represented one who could bring this nation together in a spirit of unity. Wasn’t he the one who could be any thing any one wanted him to be ( a man for all seasons)? Now there doesn’t seem to be a supply of the categories of Democrats needed for him to win over Hillary in Pennsylvainia. Maybe Barack isn’t that perfect, untouchable candidate after all? I was never fooled. All hot air balloons are destined to deflate in time. Subsequently, the Obama persona is starting to lose air. And may it continue!

    Aye, Nancy (if I may be so familiar to a commenting acquaintance) , but ’tis we poor voters who fail her/him/it in her/his/its perfection. (I’m just trying to be inclusive.)
