I'm Hearing Echoes Of Bill Clinton, Circa

Romney And Democratic Rival President Obama Have Led Their Partisan Backers Down A Trail Of Lies, Negativity And Vacuous Policies That Seem Certain To Guarantee An Angry Electorate Four More Years Of Gridlock.

Obama Is Capable - As Evidenced By His First-term Success With Health Care Reform. But Mandate-building Requires Humility, A Trait Not Easily Associated With Him.

Somebody Must Be Up And Somebody Must Be Down. Trouble Is, Campaigns Are Messy, Subtle Creatures That Don't Follow Convenient Narratives.

Clearly, The Obama Presidency Hasn't Wiped Out Racial Prejudices.

If Acknowledging That Racial Misgivings And Misunderstandings Are Still A Part Of Politics And Life In America, I Plead Guilty.
