In this new feature, the voice of Gettysburg is finally heard, responding to questions that address the real issues of the day and age.

Barack Obama is America’s first African-American President. Is America ready for a black president?

He’s black? I only listen to the most unbiased form of media journalism, the radio. In fact, the notion that he was black had never crossed my mind. Well, the television destroyed Nixon when he debated that goodie goodie Kennedy. I think unfortunately the devil-box is at it again.

Personally I don’t see the controversy behind skin color. Why, William Henry Harrison’s jaundice he contracted from septicemia turned his skin and eyes yellow, yet nobody questioned his leadership skills.

This race has been about differences in the candidates. I truly questions America’s tolerance for minorities. As long as it’s not a heart-crushing devil-collaborating problem-having leaving-you-waiting-20-minutes-at-the-restaurant-doing woman, I don’t have any particular preference.

Does this mean Will.I.Am is going to come out with another Obama-inspired song? Because I don’t think the nation is ready for that.
