I guess it's contextual. I'd say it's very recent since it's experienced by our current generation. But then that depends if you count that as "recent".

(a) If thats what she meant then I apologise.
A large portion of Obama/McCain voters will have the credit crunch and Iraq and terrorism and so fourth on their minds. Nothing further back than the 1990's imo will bother them.

yeh I agree its more likely Obamas policies than the fact that he was a black man that got his votes. but you can understand how black people would be so proud.
