Conservative elder statesman Thomas Sowell writes:

Perhaps
nothing so captures the superficial, frivolous and irresponsible spirit
of our times like the sudden boomlet for Barack Obama as a candidate
for President of the United States.

of years. Maybe a decade from now he will have crafted enough important
legislation, or distinguished himself in some other way, as to be
someone worth considering for President. But today, just because he is
fluent, smooth and black?

Ouch.
