"Rosa Parks sat so that Martin Luther King could walk.
Martin Luther King walked so Barack Obama could run.
Barack Obama ran so our children could fly.”
-- Unknown participant in the 2008 Presidential Election
And yet we're told race wasn't an issue. It shouldn't have been, but it clearly was for some people.
Oh the quote is very inspirational on the surface. And I do think there's truth in it. But there is also something else. Look at the last line. The best word I can think of to describe it is worshipful.
The implication is that Obama, through the power of the One True Government™, will enable and help our children to succeed.
Whether they want it to or not.
