Obama Reflects On Elections In '60 Minutes' Interview (VIDEO)

The one big thing that I think can not be denied is that America elected an African American to the presidency. The symbolism is powerful and the reverberations will continue on for a long time.

For good or bad.



Yes, America elected a black man to the presidency. That can't be denied. Had Hillary been elected, we would be having this same discussion, same circumstances, and we'd be saying that it can't be denied that America elected a woman to the presidency, and that the symbolism is powerful and the reverberations will continue on for a long time.



But what's the achievement? What's the realization? That blacks and women can be as corrupt as white men?



Ok.



I really wanted and believed that the 'first' of anything in the United States should be 'the best'. That's what sets the standard for all others that follow. For emulating greatness.
