    so weeping, he wasn't BLACK enough for you!

    (just shaking my head). i was sure the first time i heard him speak - in the beginning, when he was "too professorial", i found him really refreshing - an intelligent candidate! and didn't talk down to me! but then, i'm not black, so he WAS black enough for ME. see ClearBlueSea? it's amazing, Obama can unite oil and water. i too have REAL HOPES for PA.
