Big Girl Panties

My friend from U.S. just told me that he wouldn't pick Obama as a president because of his skin color. Well, not just because of the skin color, but that was one of the reasons for not voting for him. Well that was a shocker. And I thought America was open minded enough in the racial aspects these days. As it turned out, not so much.

Still it shocks me a little that a lot of people in U.S. wouldn't pick Obama just because he's black. Political views aside, not choosing a president 'cause of his looks gives me both giggles and tiny little shocks of sadness.

Why not dress them up as well and make them model walk their way up to the mic every time they have to perform onstage? Then that would be a real Prom Queen contest.
