Your writings depress me. Also, it remains to be seen whether the election of yet another white man was more important than the election of the first black man to the presidency.
The 2000 election was by far more significant than the 2008 election. We went through a prolonged 36-day legal battle to decide who the President of the United States was. Obama was declared President at 11pm EST.
First black President > Recount in terms of historical significance. I would think that that would be a no brainer really. We've had several extremely close and controversial Presidential elections throughout history. Don't recall any black Presidents though.
Now if you want to argue that the aftermath of Bush's election is more important than the aftermath of Obama's, that is an argument that I would be completely open to... if Obama's time as President were over anyway.
