Racist or realist? [Pointing out the emptiness of Barack Obama can lead to trouble]

The iconic symbolism of an African American becoming president is not lost even on stupid white people.

Well, it is lost on me.
I am appalled, embarrassed, and stunned that so many in this country idolize skin color. It is as repulsive to deny someone a job based on the melanin content of their skin, as it is to vote for them based on that measure. Content of character, heart, and beliefs -- not the hue of one's skin...When I see Obama I see someone who is a conman; and zealot in regards to the abortion lobby; a 20 year member of a racist church that effectively blasphemed Christ by focusing on race rather than Christ, sin (our own), forgiveness, and mercy; a self-admitted 'wealth spreading' socialist; and one with no experience in leadership (unless one counts his jaw-boning sessions as a 'facilitator' with grad students and maneuvering them to follow his directions - as 'leadership'). A melanin challenged individual, with the same resume, would never have made it into the primaries...

I am still 'stuned' and amazed (and you can knock me over with a 'beeber') that we elected someone solely based on the color of his skin...
