Well, in the 1960 presidential election, many people refused to vote for an Irish Catholic with a name like Kennedy because they were certain he'd be a puppet of the Vatican.
I know, I was around at the time and remember it well.
You know, if Obama wasn't black, he's be ahead by 20 points given the state of our country today on all fronts

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

If Obama wasn't black he wouldn't even be a consideration for the candidacy.

So you're saying it was Obama's color that so inspired the Democratic National Convention in 2004?

Yes, they were enthralled with the fact that he was black and "clean". At least that's what Joe say's.

As usual you provide acid but little thought. It must really grate on you that Obama's up in every poll and is now seriously challenging a good number of previously Red states.
All because he's black.
