Hirsh asks,"Will he (Obama) try to outdo his father in bridging divides that may be unbridgeable?" Yet the answer for that question is in the preceding paragraph. The question I should ask Hirsch is - define an "unbridgeable divide." For years whites justified racial discrimination because the divide between blacks and whites was "unbridgeable." The Big Bad Boogeyman of this campaign Rev. Wright, espoused the same doctrine as white separatists - and a lot of white folks, especially in the media got upset.
All over the world, people justify all sorts of hateful atrocities because they deemed a divide as unbridgeable. By bridging "unbridgeable" divides in this country, we are providing an example for the rest of the world to follow.
