Maybe Obama would still be a senator
In his letter of Sept. 6, Paul Bischoff stated, “I voted for Barack Obama because I thought America needed a black for its president.” From what I hear, many others felt the same way.
Apparently those voters didn’t heed the words of the foremost civil right leader of our time, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. who said in 1963, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
If Mr. Biscoff and the others had heeded those words, Barack Obama might still be a mediocre senator.
