Celebrate Obama's reelection all you want, but it may be the last time voters will trust an African American with the highest position in the land. Why? Because he has proven himself fundamentally untrustworthy to act in the overall interest of the United States. Despite his lofty rhetoric during his first election, he has governed as an ideologue who favors his own racial group (and selected others) over the welfare and legitimate concerns of all Americans.
His personal popularity, undoubtedly benefited by his racial background, were sufficient to reelect him despite a dismal record. However, voters are not likely to allow their racial guilt to override their sensibilities a second time once the full effects of his radical policies have been realized. Reparations have now been paid in full, and the more pressing question is whether we will be able to afford them.
