In what way is he concerned?
edit: Is it about **** like this? For one day, for one hour, let us take a bow as a country. Nearly 233 years after our founding, 144 years after the close of our Civil War and 46 years after Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, this crazy quilt of immigrants called Americans finally elected a black man, Barack Hussein Obama, as president. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/21/op...1friedman.html I find it extremely annoying that white people think they did something noble and heroic by electing a bi-racial President. It's like they actually think race relations are any different now than they were two days ago... |

Forget that; here's what really matters:
As of noon yesterday, the US entered a rare period in its recent history when none of its six top elected leaders (President and Veep; Speaker and House Majority Leader; Senate Majority Leader and Senate Majority Whip) hailed from Dixie. How long it's been depends on whether you count Papa Bush as a Texan and whether you count Missouri (home of Dick Gephardt) as Dixie. If so, it's been since the Ford years; if not, then it's been since Papa Bush, and the Ford years before that. I don't know what it means, exactly, but I thought I'd point it out.
