Now, I may catch hell for saying this...and I definitely think race or gender should NOT be a factor in who you vote for, BUT, imagine how great if would be for the black community if kids were looking up to Obama instead of some gangsta rap star or Michael Vick.
If instead of wanting to grow up to be a gangster they want to grow up to be president.

I'm not saying that's why anyone should vote for a candidate, but I think it would be one hell of a positive tertiary effect.
