An unprecedented number of young voters showed up at the polls. If you were of fresh voting age in 2008 and white, your influential coming of age years began just as extreme political correctness took hold in the media.
The result is that none of these youthful voters questioned how a community planner with limited political experience could be president. They just saw a black guy and wanted him to be president. Hillary should have gotten the nomination that year and Obama given the Sec of State position. Then Obama runs in 2016 under better economic conditions. Clearly his strong point is in social issues, not economic. He is the right president at the wrong time.
