"Barack Obama will be our first hip-hop president. I can only imagine how the world will embrace the leader of the free world when he introduces other foreign leaders with, "give it up for my man Vladimir." Giving "props" for joining us in a treaty. Or the first lady Michelle talking about "my man" the "daddy of my babies" when referring to the president. That should go over well everywhere from 10 Downing Street right on down to the streets of the Middle East,"- Craig Smith, WorldNetDaily.

I guess we should be grateful for Smith expressing out loud the racism that courses through a great deal of the fear about an Obama presidency. In the battle between hope and fear in this election, fear is currently winning.
