I say this, Pat actually killed cynicism. Maybe only briefly. But credit earned is credit deserved and the guy took all his inherent and long-displayed bigotry and transcended it.

He went light years past Barack Obama's genetics and color because Barack Obama enabled him to go to a place he never imagined he could reach.

That is the genius and the depth and the goodness of Barack Obama.

You have witnessed great history in the saga of humanity, my friends, never forget it.

Peace,
Bob
