american elections

today in paris i had to have a laugh. an american couple were visiting a popular bar and rue des grand augustins. they live in los angeles....apparently near pasadena. when queried about their views on Obama as the first Black President they responded, "We hope not." what humors me is that they were prior bragging about their relationship with a well known african american artist. so color doesnt matter when art's in play but it's a deciding factor for presidency? hmmm.
