...appalls and frightens me.

to assume that obama will make jesse jackson secretary of state, because they are both black??!!?? amazingly deficient in both thought and heart.

i, a 5th generation american live overseas in a white, british commonwealth nation and DAILY i am verbally abused for being an american. currently in the US for vacation, i have heard such sad and frightening things about living in america from old friends, who formerly couldn't imagine life without the REpublican party and who virtually deified ronald reagan. and as a big FYI for you all, those former reaganuts are now all swearing that if ANY republican attains the white house, they will all move to australia, where i live. i find it comical! and wearyingly heartbreaking.
