President Obama shifted how we define ourselves. He’s that rare leader that transcends race and gender. He’s in it for the infinite. We have the opportunity to change limiting attitudes. I think Obama’s candidacy drew poison to the surface of US society. A volatile minority’s identity is threatened by Obama’s obvious abilities.
