I believe that America is looking at the presidential race in a distorted way. In 2008, the race was called "historic" over and over again. This time, it seems to be viewed in a much more politically pedestrian manner. It should not be. The 2012 election will hopefully have a result every bit as historic as 2008 did. Let me explain:
In the entire history of the United States, we have never had an African American former president. Barack Obama has the chance to make history once again. Just imagine: there is an earthquake or hurricane or one of those other disasters that periodically strike around the world. As usual, the president asks former presidents to get involved to head the fund raising effort to help those stricken in the disaster. These former presidents become the face of America helping those in need. Wouldn't it be great if one of those faces is that of Barack Obama, the first black former president. It would be historic! We hear often about how Obama cares for the downtrodden. Here is a great chance for him to show this. Let's all get together and help this to happen.
