His minister has preached this line of...dissent shall we say...for years. Obama has had to have heard it; him saying he hasn't is like Bill Clinton saying he never inhaled. The fact that Mrs. Obama said that her husband running for President is the "first time in her adult life that she's been proud of America" says it all for me. She's been sitting in the pew next to hubby. We need a president of ALL the people, not just one group. Race wars is the last thing we need at this point

I don't know what I was thinking. I forgot that the percentage of black racists is the same (or more) than white racists. Even if Obama is lily white innocent (yes, pun intended), it is likely many in his camp won't be.
Their reasons for black racism may be legit. They may have been downtrodden and sinned against. But spewing more fire and brimstone isn't the way to solve this country's problems. I think that a lot of people, like myself, who were trying to be colorblind in this election were just reminded of how this country really is. Unfortunate, but true.
*Sigh* Great, Hillary or McCain. I LIKE McCain--I just don't like a lot of the Republican policies from the past few years. And I'm afraid he'll be more of the same. The Republican party has come to mean intolerance on the conservative side to me.

I'm disliking Obama more and more, too. I hope everyone left to vote is, too. I bet he wishes his minister would shut up.
