One other aspect of the media’s bias towards Obama centers around his race. Obama is steadfastly portrayed by the media as “The First African American President”, a statement which couldn’t be further from the truth. Obama is biracial, not African American. I noticed that the media was perfectly content in showcasing Michelle’s mother, an African American, yet Obama’s caucasian mother was nowhere to be found. Obama was embraced by the African American community as “one of their own” based on this little omission. If he TRULY believes in diversity, then he needs to be PROUD of his biracial heritage, not hide it. He is the living embodiment of the word “Diversity” and what better example to set than to show that biracial marriages work as well as any other.

In closing, I would have to say I wish him well and hope he does a fantastic job. Although I didn’t vote for him, I don’t want the American people to suffer through 4 years of ineptitude just to prove me right. I love this country too much to be that selfish.
