I find your remarks extremely racist. I am white, and I voted for Obama. Your statement implies that the color of his skin is the most important qualification for the office of president than any other quality he possesses. It troubles me that in recent elections past the national voter turn out would never peak above 40%, and because there is a popular african american on the ticket, over 64% of the national voters make history by casting their votes. Everywhere, including here, I hear that the only reason some people voted was because Obama was black. If I were to say that I voted for McCain because he is white...
I would be branded a racist and thrown to the dogs. It was so important that the candidates try to omit the race card, and here we as a nation have elected a man to office based on the same racist attitudes everyone is trying to evolve out of. Just remember that racism goes both ways, and doesn't escape notice, especially on a national scale such as this.
