10 Questions Post Election



1. Are we expecting President Elect Obama to appoint African-American's in prominent positions in the cabinet? (see George W. Bush). Should we expect it?

2. Is the election of Barack Obama help or hurt the cause for affirmative action? Now, try to argue the other side

3. Would "we" have celebrated like this if President Elect Obama were Republican?

4. Did President Elect Obama really bring the country together with 53% of the vote?

5. Would it have mattered if McCain picked a more 'reasonable' running mate? (say Lieberman, Guiliani, or Romney)

6. Would we have 'celebrated' like this if Hillary were elected President?

7. Should we have been so surprised that an African American was elected president considering the relative rise of African American in other walks of life (industry, finance, sports/entertainment, etc.)?

8. Is this the last 'symbol' of advancement needed for African Americans in the U.S.?

9. If President Elect Obama presides over our exit from Iraq and the "turnaround" from our financial crisis will he be viewed in the same light as Roosevelt?

10. How much money will President Elect Obama make off of his next book?
