What an asshole you are, Lex. Seriously.

I’m just hoping that the Obama inauguration will cause your head to explode, taking out several of your nearest and dearest in the process.

Metaphorically, I mean. No actual heads were harmed in the construction of this comment, nor is the explosion of any heads actually proposed.

"somewhere on a continuum between Jimmy Carter and Robert Mugabe. " In fairness, this guy is a bit of a wet, thinking that there's merely a continuum between Mugabe and History's Greatest Monster

“I very much fear Jackson will see Obama out.”

Oh, he will still be there gesticulating and using long words he cannot pronounce and doesn’t understand.

But it will be impossible for Jackson to do his schtick effectively any more about how everything is Whitey’s fault, so Whitey has to puke out the dollars, once we have elected a Black president, or even almost done so. That will show, what everybody knows, that Whitey’s purported racism is not the whole reason, and probably not much of the reason anymore, for our “inner city” populations continuing to live in squalor.

Oh dear, I wish I could share your optimism, Lex. I very much fear Jackson will see Obama out. Nor do I think President Obama (if!) will change the sophisticated British and European view of America. There will be more of yes, but than there is now. After all, having two successive black Secretaries of State made no difference. I suppose they were under a Republican Administration but still.

Jackson only wishes he could return the favor.

And even if he did, it would still be too late. His day is over. Finally.

Well Obama has cut Jackson’s metaphorical nuts off so I guess it only far he return the favor.

The single small and flickering ray of light attending an Obama election to the hightest office in the land would be that we would finally never hear another blessed word about how racist and prejudiced American society is.

I kind of thought we might have heard the last of that when Colin Powell became Chairman of the JCS… oh, well. Hard to beat a convienient meme to death, I guess.
