Here is an article from the National Review.
Obama Makes History—in Many Ways [by Peter Kirsanow]
It's a great and historic moment. We have the first black presidential nominee of a major party in the United States. As Jonah notes, however, it's unfortunate that the nominee is a liberal with little experience and poor judgment.
And it won't be the only first. In addition Obama will be
- the first presidential nominee known to have a terrorist as a friend and working associate
- the first presidential nominee to vote against a measure designed to prevent a form of infanticide
- the first Commander-in-Chief nominee to dismiss as an elitist a veteran who spent 5 1/2 years being tortured by the enemy
- the first presidential nominee to favor giving habeas corpus rights to foreign terrorists
- the first presidential nominee known to have a pastor who exclaimed "God damn America "
- the first presidential nominee to state that he will talk without precondition to the leaders of state sponsors of terrorism
- the first presidential nominee to support giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
- the first presidential nominee to assert that he's embarrassed that his countrymen don't speak French or German
- the first presidential nominee to compare the U.S. infrastructure unfavorably to that of a communist country
- the first presidential nominee to have a more extreme position on life issues than NARAL
Is whatever societal benefit that may be derived from electing the first black president worth having a president who has established the other firsts?
