2. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" was all about getting past skin color and judging people by who they are. Most people pulling the lever for Obama on election day knew very little about Obama thanks in part to the mainstream media's push for a "historic presidency" based on the color of his skin.
Like I said, there are almost no African American's who would agree with what you said after the first sentence, and since it is their skin and their life we're talking about, I'd say their opinion is significant. I find it ironic that you and other conservatives, can't admit that he was elected because of his appeal, character, and potential. It's pretty tough for some of you to give a black man credit, isn't it?
3. Why would I have to be a black American to make such statements? Your opening post spoke of Martin Luther King's Dream not the motivation of black Americans in voting for Obama.
I once expressed an opinion to an African-American doctor who said to me with great conviction, "Have you ever been thrown out of a restaurant because you were a n____?" He gave several other examples and said, "Until you've lived in my shoes, don't you dare tell me how I should think." I learned a great lesson from him. I'm saying that the black community would highly disagree with what you've said and I think that matters.
4. My similar background statement displeases you? Pray tell me who ever ran on the Democratic or Republican ticket for president with less experience than Obama brought to the table?
Most of our glorious founding fathers that you probably bow to had zero political experience. Furthermore, the original intent for our leaders was that they be everyday people that represented the public, not career politicians. It's funny...so many conservatives have cried bitter tears about "Career Politicians" but then, when a guy comes along who ISN'T one, you start crying about his lack of experience. Hypocrites.
Who has ever ran on the Democratic or Republican ticket for president with thugs and Marxists under every rock that is turned over?
Yes, and George W. Bush is the one that actually organized the 9-11 terrorists acts.

God bless America, and God bless President Barak Obama.
