For what it's worth, I was thinking the primary world problem or concern is not economics but instead race. In my opinion economics, racism, religion, energy, global warning,, etc. all fall under the aegis of race. Obama not winning will be a devastating loss to race relations in our cities, our coiuntries, our world.

I state this because if Barack Obama were white he would be hailed as the new Jpolitical messiah--the new JFK yet better with his soul of Everyman. The presidential race would by now essentially be over, but he is African-American in the truest. Americans, like many of my Kansas relatives and friends, still believe whites are the superior, and thus should be our elected officials. They vote their inherited prejudices, not their chance to embrace a new race-free consciousness.

To me Obama is 1/2 MLK, 1/2 JFK--a thrilling symbolic New Wave of hope and change.
