Do you think many black voters, many of whom had never voted before,
carefully examined his record before voting for him? Do you think a
white candidate with similar background and personality as Obama's would
have been elected or even nominated?

I was very disappointed to see that the first major party black
candidate was not only just another empty suit, but worse yet, from
Chicago, where corrupt politician is redundant.

Obama is a perfect example of someone, who is of black/brown skin, but
had an upgringing with very little connection to the "black
culture". He was brought up by his white mother, grew up among whites,
and went to very yuppie schools.

Huh? Chicago is only 42% white.

Didja forget his attendance at a Wahabbist Muslim school, too?

Didja forget that he married a racist wife, whose college thesis was
on being a black woman at Princeton?

Didja forget that he attended a church which was led by one of the
worst racists in our time? (And Wright was good buddies w/ Farrakhan)

Didja forget that he bolstered up ACORN (criminal black activists)?

The man has used race as a tool or weapon all his life.

Those are quick items from memory. I'm sure there are many more
examples if a person was to research it.

That is a -bit- too much coincidence for me.
