Barack Obama

Coolio said an interesting thing on CBB last night.

He said that when it became obvious that Obama could win, all the minorities that wouldn't normally vote or who have never voted got behind him. As well as African Americans, this also meant Mexicans, women and kids who ignored voting before.

Being mixed race ourselves, we are glad about Obama's victory, mostly because we are now living in a more enlightened time that makes this possible.

Tupac, a contemporary of Coolio, wrote the lyrics "we have yet to see a black president" back in the 90s.

In the film Deep Impact, Morgan Freeman played the President. Reviewers at the time thought it was "hopelessly optimistic".

The most important point of all of course, is that Obama is actually the best candidate and will make the best President.
