Obama should not be a trophy president

We hope ‘President Obama’ will not be a token president who will be used by the powers-that-be in Washington to justify Black inclusion in American politics knowing fully well that the levers of power are still in the white-controlled institutions crafted centuries ago.
Indications so far are that there will be very few changes in Washington, which is sad. If, as President, Obama does not address the plight of the Black and minority populations in America, it will take centuries to address those issues and Obama will only remain as a token President to silent those who thought America was never ready for a Black President.
If he manages to address those issues he would have created a precedent that will have a domino effect on the rest of future administrations in America (Black-led or White-led). He will be the standard by which to measure any future administration’s efforts at extending civil liberties to minority groups.

My friend, on this issue, I totally disagree with you. Obama is the President of the world, and should be giving a chance to assume office first.

Who said Obama is president of the world? i DON'T agree with you on this.He is the president of the US and certainly not ZIMBABWE.
i think you have misunderstood my post what im saying is HE should deliver.People have expectations and he should NOT disappoint.
im one of the people who celebrated his victory but i want him to deliver.Read through the post.
