So?

So there's been a lot of talk lately about Barack Obama and this historic election.
  • People won't vote for him just because he's black (racist)
  • People will vote for him just because he's black (equally racist)
  • People say they won't vote for him just because he's black (and then vote for him in the privacy of their own booth)
  • People say they will vote for him and then don't (in the privacy of their own booth) - because he's black.

Remind me again what the critical issues were in this election?

I guess I just don't "get it" - I've been fortunate enough to grow up around pretty cool people. I wasn't raised to look at someone's race as a determining factor as to what that person will be like. Bottom line - there's a lot of lazy/industrious/crazy/stupid/smart black's (african-american), white's (I prefer swedish-american), asians, latino's, etc...

I hope President (elect) Obama does a great job - and wish him all the best. Just don't raise taxes on ammo - that's all I ask.

I don't know about you, but I was going to vote for Hillary just because she was a woman. Or was I not going to vote for her because she's a woman? You got me confused.
