I’m sure your first thought was, “Yes, he can and he was just elected to do so” and you would be right on both accounts.  But read on and you will see what I’m talking about, hopefully agree and if not state your case as to why not.

The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by influence and recognition. The President leads the executive branch of the federal government; his or her role is to enforce national law as given in the Constitution and written by Congress. Article Two of the Constitution establishes the President as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and enumerates powers specifically granted to the President, including the power to sign into law or veto bills passed by both houses of Congress. The President also has the power to create a cabinet of advisers and to grant pardons or reprieves. Finally, with the “advice and consent” of the Senate, the President is empowered to make treaties and appoint federal officers, ambassadors, and federal judges, including Justices of the Supreme Court. As with officials in the other branches of the United States government, the Constitution restrains the President with a set of checks and balances designed to prevent any individual or group from taking absolute power.

I read this a few times and didn’t see anything in there about the President being for or against a particular race.  You may ask why I’m mentioning this and the reason is I feel as though some people believe President Obama will lean toward black people.  That would be a monumental mistake.

• Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about equality.  A land where black kids and white kids could play side-by-side.  Nowhere in his words does he mention a black person presiding over several races with a bias leaning towards those who have the same color of skin.  People lived and died equality.  Shame on anyone who thinks the president is going to lean towards black people.
• Let’s say President Obama was to lean towards black people.  That alone would set black people back so far it may take hundreds of years to rebound.  Is four years of advantage worth equality for the rest of our lives, our childrens’ lives and our childrens’ childrens’ lives?  I think not.
• On a lighter note (pun intended), Obama isn’t completely black anyway!  If you want to really talk about equality, how about a president who is both black and white?  Along with equality, people need to stop letting a percentage of African-American blood be the deciding factor.  We are truly becoming a melting pot and a President with mixed heritage might be appropriate representation of the United States.
• Because Obama is a Black man who managed to obtain the most important job in America, the President of the United States, he represents hope to a significant amount of Black people.  But what Black people have to remember is that President Obama represents hope for ALL people, not just one race of people.

Without a doubt, there were people literally dancing in the streets when the results came out, but I hope they were rejoicing for the right reasons.  Reasons like equality, change and the knowledge that our country is willing to do the best thing for our country, regardless of race, should be the soundtrack for this Presidential two-step.

We have witnessed and are poised to be a part of a historic time in our country.  We, people of all races, have overcome one of the biggest hurdles ever.  For that we should be proud.  But if people are happy just because we have a black president I have news for them:  Barack Obama can be a black president, but he cannot be a Black President.

This article was on Digg, but I wanted to share it with our readers here on 7DayBuzz as I feel it is extremely important that we stay in the know.  Please read as the content reveals what could possibly happen with this history-making election that is coming up in November.

“Here, in this shattering new interview, Stephen Spoonamore goes into harrowing detail about the Bush regime’s election fraud, past, present and–if we don’t spread the word right now–to come. Since he’s the only whistle-blower out there who knows the perps themselves, and how they operate, we have to send this new piece far and wide.”
