So if Obama's election to the white house is bigger than the emancipation proclamation
then why was Bob Johnson (BET) a supporter of Clinton, who more than anything represented the status quo.

Bob Johnson: Obama's election 'more significant than the Emancipation Proclamation'

"We want him to be the president of the United States. This is the most significant thing, probably more significant than the Emancipation Proclamation, if he walks in that White House," the BET founder said, according to a transcript from NPR's Tell Me More with Michel Martin.

6. He stuck his finger in the wind.
I just hope Obama has nothing to do with that joker.

9. I completely agree.. Its an amazing, historic moment.. but in context of freeing
slaves in the USA is much, much, much bigger than one man being elected President...

12. Bob Johnson's color interest is GREEN.
It's all about the bucks - hence, support for Hillary. She's not going to change anything that would cost him money.
