January 20, 2009: The first Black President of the United States takes office. Millions cheer the fact that while the path that led his genes to be a literal African-American is not quite the same as most descendants of slaves in America, his skin color is dark, thereby fulfilling Martin Luther King's dream that he not be judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. Schoolchildren, male and female, who share nothing in common with Obama but his skin color, are interviewed saying how they now believe that they can grow up to be anything. January 20, 2013: President Obama fails to win re-election, having been unable to clean up the domestic and foreign messes he inherited. Sarah Palin is sworn in. David says he is glad to have a European-American back in the White House, and is called a racist.
