Vaguely presidential

Can American elect an unknown quantity to hold the most powerful office in the land? Will people vote for Mitt Romney even if he continues to never answer any questions about who he is or what, specifically, he will do in office? Will the press ever treat him anywhere near as harshly as the Irish nitwit treated Mr. Obama the other day? Where is the little boy with clear vision, as in the fairy tale? I remember how wonderful it felt in 2008 that we had actually elected a black man. But were we really prepared for the backlash, and how much work it would take to keep him in office? The ants whose hill we kicked had a nasty bite, and they are still angry. We worked hard in 2007-08 for Obama; now we have to work at least as hard for ourselves. If we lose this, we will lose decades of progress - maybe for decades to come.
