...flourish. As Afghan president Hamid Karzai so duly noted, this will probably take a long time. But the Obama presidency represents a milestone, and the movement has begun. Many who are quick to congratulate the United States upon the confrontation of its racist past are not likely to admit the same problem exists at home. Over time, however, the election will serve as an example in countries where racism and other modes of oppression are seemingly recalcitrant...
...after Obama's election, poverty among black Americans was still twice the national average. In some ways, change has come slowly, if at all.

I had already sent in my absentee ballot two weeks ago, but I was worried whether the rest of the state would follow my lead and select the intelligent choice. Missouri after all is arguably divided into two states when it comes to politics—two large enclaves of blue in St. Louis and Kansas City surrounded by a sea of rural red extending from the northern plains down into my dear Ozark Mountains. Sure there would be large turnout...
