So Samuel L. Jackson voted for Obama because Obama is black. Heck, I voted for Obama because he is white. Guess what! We were both somewhat right!
Seriously, it is not a bad reason to pick a president, because of his -- or her -- life experiences. If Obama were lily white, he'd be just another Romney wanna be from a poorish background. That he is ... coffee colored ... means he has a lot of qualifications a rich boy like Mitt doesn't.
The problem with Mitt -- besides his total lack of a resume besides working at Bain Capital in a capacity that DID NOT involve running companies -- is that he was and is and shall be unto the grave a poor little rich boy. His life and reality is far from the lives that Americans lead everyday, and it shows; it shows all the time. Obama is closer. He been there.

Romney was born in Mexico and lived abroad; Obama lived abroad, in Indonesia. Both went to ivy-league colleges and worked in the financial sector. Both got handouts, Obama from affirmative action, Romney from father and friends. The differences. Obama was from far more modest circumstances and when he was a senator in D.C. lived in a cheap apt and drove, what was it? A Buick? While Romney lived a life a little like Dubya's except that Dubya got out on his own more and was allowed to come close to failure before being bailed out in business by daddy's comrades.

Well, Obama knew not to buy a place as a new senator- he knew racists would hand him the presidency without any accomplishments and it comes with a free house. Smart move...

I forgot how nice it was to be on a message board with you. I don't even have to go to another site to get the DNC stance, I can post and get the spin all in one place!

I value your presence too, GOPer for the same reasons, because you bring a hard-line RNC viewpoint with you. Maybe I ought to send you a valentine's day card. Actually I am opposing Obama for the nomination. I want to draft Michelle. Let hubby take care of the kids for a change. So he can offer spousal advice; so she can ignore it. We need an authentic black person in the white house, and hey, we may have to wait another hundred years before we get a black woman in the presidency.

She also fits you requirement of accomplishing nothing that you seem to desire in a candidate... But I guess she accomplished more than him before people like you handed him the presidency. Empty Suit has been a disaster, I guess I'd also rather have Angry, Empty Skirt. I value your presence too, GOPer for the same reasons, because you bring a hard-line RNC viewpoint with you.

and where is the disaster and empty suit? is not all a president can do to put his finger in the hole in a leaking dike? and was it not done?

A racist is using the exact definition used by libs...if its racist to not vote for someone because of skin color, it's racist to vote for them because of it. A I guess a Christian could be xenophobic of someone being a Muslim and middle class Americans could be for enforcing the law. Only an idiot would see race in these things.
