In the back of a Taxi Cab
-
So this conversation happened in the back of a taxi last night-
-
Person:
It was my Grannies die-ing wish that John McCain would be President.
-
Me:
Well she is dead, so it doesn't really effect her, therefore I don't give a shit what your Granny wanted...she had probably lost it by that stage anyway.
-
Person:
Well I am not sure Obama will be able to do it, he ran a brilliant campaign, but can he be a great President?
-
Me:
I am pretty sure he knew what running for President meant. This is a fucking monumental day.
-
Person:
Well either way it was a monumental election and whoever won it would have been monumental.
-
Me:
What?
-
Person:
Well the first Black President or the Oldest President to be elected. (No irony)
-
Me:
Um it is not monumental to have an old white guy in the White House. It is amazing to have a Black President in our life time.
-
Person:
Barack Obama did not run a campaign as a black man and was not elected because he was black.
-
Me:
But he is black? And he is the President!
