Commentary

On the day Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, I announced on my national radio show that, “While I did not vote for Barack Obama, he is my president, and I wish him well.” I added that I was delighted a black man had been elected president of the United States, that perhaps this would not only help black-white relations get even better than they were but also help put to rest the notion of a racist America.
