However, if he had John McCain's history he wouldn't have had a chance.
I agree with you, I'm proud.
I'm also aware that if Obama had graduated 942 out of 947, if he had dumped a disabled wife for an heiress, had lost 5 airplanes in the military, even 5.5 years in a Vietnamese prison camp wouldn't have rehabilitated him.
It took the perfect black candidate, with no noticeable personal derogs, running the perfect campaign. Clearly, he had to be much better.
And still, one can be proud of America today.
