Sad to see Race is holding people back from voting for the right person. I hate to say it, but America is slam full of closed-minded pricks.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

Now you know that if obama was a white man with the same views then this would not be a close race Mccain would be back in no mans land

I expect no less out of the average American voter.

Bunch of xenophobic morons can't even realize he's the whitest most educated breed of colored you can find, pedigreed for Washington like the others.

HEY REAL CONSERVATIVES LIKE ME, WHAT DO YOU CALL A HIGH SPENDING INCREASED GOVERNMENT BUSHITE LIKE MCSAME...

...A DEMOCRAT WITHOUT THE DOMESTIC POLICY.

It's disgraceful how much you're all blinded by your partisanship. Try taking a step away from what you've been fed from birth.

[NomadicAddict]

If racism is going to be such an issue for Obama and will ultimately work against him, then why are Conservatives having a conniption fit?

They should all sit back, relax, and let the racists in the country do their thing, Right?

Hakuna Matata, McCain!
