People think because he is a different colour the whole country is going to change... pfft.
Its admirable that you see it only as 'skin colour, but you do realise that to some people the only thing that matters in 'skin colour'.

Its a big deal because those people - and in America there are more of them than people think - have finally got to put up with the fact that they live in the real world and will have to accept a black president. Its a historic achievement.
