Im so sick of hearing about race and religon. You do not have to be Christian to be President and you most certainly do not have to be White. So what his middle name is Hussein. All of this should have NOTHING to do with choosing who to vote for. What happend to thinking about the issues at hand and what you feel like should be done about them and choosing whoever has views closest to your own. This country needs alot of changes and I believe Obama is the one to make them. Open your minds people.

Now see listen to this brad character. You see Brad this is what the americam people are so sick and tired of, all this foolish race baiting, why dont you and others just stop this nonsense. If your case were true then I would have voted for jesse jackson when he ran for president, which I did not. If that were the case I would have voted for Al Sharpton when he ran for president, which I did not. So what exactly is your argument here?? The american people have had enough with this foolishness, this kind of nonsense is what got us in the situation were in now with this economy. It's time to let this nonsense and race baiting go and pull together to bring america back to where it needs to be. I personally think Obama is the one to do that, Who cares what color he is except you and a few others?

If you don't understand the importance of voting for a candidate because of his/her platform as apposed to voting because of race, then you need to stay home in November and not vote. People that select a candidate because of race are not thinking about the needs of the country as a whole, only themselves, or their race. This is wrong. When you abuse the system this way(no matter what race you are) your right to vote should be taken away. Besides, you are white, the figures below don't apply to you. Like I said, if you don't understand why its so wrong to cast a vote due to race, then you're not mature enough, smart enough, or wise enough to make a decision as to whom should be president.
