Just in time for summer, Barack Obama will be the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States of America.  To see what I have to think about this, check back after the break.

 In November 2008, an African-American could be elected the next President of the United States.  Just yesterday, I was talking to a WWII African-American veteran that served in an all-black unit.  That was just 65 short years ago.  Real civil rights laws weren’t passed until a mere 45 years ago.  This country has come a very long way in this short time period.  That is why I am so excited that this ended up happening.  I was really worried for the past few months that the Clinton machine would end up stealing this nomination from Senator Obama, somehow, someway.  If you can’t tell, I am kind of like Obama-Girl and have a little bit of a crush on Barack.  This does not mean, however, that I am ready to endorse him as y2kers.com unofficial political pundit.  I really like John McCain.  I have since 2000 when he was trying for the Republican nomination.  I am going to reserve judgement until I see what happens in the upcoming months before the general election.  Regardless of what happens, this is an important moment in the history of this great country.

Thanks to fellow y2ker Michelle for the heads up on this one.  The maker of the board game Loaded Questions has an idea.  He wants the presidential candidates to answer questions from his board game.   Lord knows they must be better than the questions Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous asked at the last debate in Philadelphia.  Click the break if you want to see the 10 questions and my best guess at how the candidates would answer.
