"Many voters became further enamored with the historic possibility of electing the first black President. Yet with painful irony, these voters ignored Dr. Martin Luther 's historic plea to judge instead by the content of one's character. Had the philosophies behind Obama's economic agenda (a major part of his "character" in this case) been more widely understood, a majority of voters would have realized that much of what he wanted to do (and indeed is now trying to do) has been tried before and has failed. They simply would never have elected him because doing so would cause themselves great economic harm. And sadly, as prominent economists like Thomas Sowell have noted, it is exactly these failed economic policies that have disproportionately harmed blacks ever since FDR's New Deal, accelerating through Johnson's Great Society to today.

Voters should have rejected these policies in the same way that they reject being told that 2+2=5. Fortunately our collective mathematical literacy has not yet caused us to re-write that fact (although Congress often makes valiant attempts)."
