You must have taken a CLASS on how to piss off as broad a sampling of folks as possible.
EVEN I can't piss folks off as bad as you - and it seems you're not even breaking a SWEAT.
To add a comment here though - Obama NEVER made his campaign a "black thing", regardless of how the media tried to spin it. Obama is actually WHITER than most white folks I know. Raised by middle-class white grandparents, afforded the "better things in life", by NOT having been raised in an african-american household. Obama is NOT a "black success story" - he's an AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY - that is, if he's even AMERICAN - since he (successfully) resisted ALL ATTEMPTS to get him to produce a REAL US BIRTH CERTIFICATE (another story entirely). So THE MEDIA made it a "black thing", and Obama just went along for the ride - he actually "played off of" his WHITE UPBRINGING, more than his (supposed) blackness. It IS however, a STATISTICAL REALITY that MORE AFRICAN AMERICANS turned out to vote in this past election, than at ANY TIME IN HISTORY since black people were ALLOWED TO VOTE in this country.
My ONLY PROBLEM with Obama - is his LACK OF EXPERIENCE at any level of AUTHORITY in state or federal government - and the choice of (expert) people he surrounds himself with - EXPERTS who are in no small way DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the very situation we find ourselves in today.
Since Obama is 1/2 white and 1/2 black - when anyone talks about him helping "his people", they're talking about ALL AMERICANS (assuming of course that he is actually american).
