2. Racist 'Nervous Tics'.
I saw your other post about racist slurs centering around Obama's health care reforms.

I wonder if this is how it is going to be for Obama's entire term of office?

If Hillary Clinton had been elected, would it be O.K to say "see what happens when you elect a woman - she starts meddling with the healthcare system? Lets put 'em back in the kitchen where they belong".

How long would that be tolerated?

Having a black man in one of the highest profile positions in the world might force Republicans to re-examine how they criticize policies - and how they can do this without involuntarily slipping into 'prejudice mode'.
