many of us have talked about this. it would be hard for a african american to not vote for the first african american president. I was ready myself for the first female or african american president. I knew we had to have a democratic president next because too much damage had been done to Bush. People were tired of republicans. Then knowing my party would lose I started looking at who obama was. At that point I never dreamed such a radical would ever win.
Too bad obama is not african american. African Americans will wake up with a arab president more than likely as time goes by and truth comes out. I would say arab american but we really do not know what nationality his mother is either. They have been duped big time.
I am "African-American". That decision to not cast a ballot for 0bama was the EASIEST decision in the world for me. But then, I'm not caught up in "making history" for the sake of making history. I am pro-life; therefore, there was no way in the Lake of Fire a pro-abortion ... back up, pro-infanticide politician was getting my vote. I understand what you're saying and you're telling the truth for many; just not for me, though.
BTW, like your screen name.
