This is the place where anybody - like an African American kid raised by a single mom - can be president.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children today will grow up taking for granted that an African-American or a woman can, yes, become the president of the United States.
If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him. You take a look!
There is a fundamental notion at the core of American identity that, in this country, any little boy or girl can grow up to be president.
Like myself, President Obama is the father of two daughters. He understands the obstacles that they face as women, but he also understands the emergency of the state of young black men in America.
The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire, Barack Obama, is president of the United States, is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.
As for my support for Obama, remember that I was brought up in Washington. It was an all-black city when I was a kid. And I've always been very pro-African-American - or whatever phrase we now use.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
As a grown woman, I saw the first black president reach down a hand and touch the face of a child like I once was, lifting his eyes toward a better future. But I have never, ever, in all my years seen a leader so committed to delivering that better future to America's children as Hillary Clinton.
A white boy that makes C's in college can make it to the White House.
I love my parents, and I want my mother to be president.
