And the first "True American" to lead our nation is...

Barack Obama of course! So says John Ridley from PBS. Yes, PBS. Your tax dollars are paying for this drivel. Get a load of this nugget from Ridley's commentary:
Every president to hold office has espoused some version of Americanism; the truths that we hold self-evident, even when those truths are not always in evidence. But for all their grand rhetoric and mostly good deeds, none was able to seal the deal on the trifecta of equality, plurality and socioeconomic ascendancy. Obama has. Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever phraseology of "Morning in America."

Quite simply, quite plainly, just by virtue of his being, Obama is America, and the first true American to lead our nation.
Ridley's reference to Obama as "the hot light of a dawn" reminds me of a joke I read today:

How many mainstream news reporters does it take to change a lightbulb? None. Obama is their lightworker.

See this San Francisco Chronicle article for that reference. Careful if you read it; you might vomit.

Good Day to You, Sir
