In reply to your comment on why blacks are not considered racist when they vote in high numbers for Obama. As far as I can recall..blacks have always had to vote for a white Presidential candidate. This is the first time ever they've had a choice. One must remember..black is not only a race but also an ethnicity. Again as far as I can recall..Irish have voted for Irish..Italians vote for Italians and yes..blacks tend to vote for their own. Some whites who voted for Clinton by their own admission voted against Obama simply because he was a black. The blacks who voted in high percentages for Obama did so FOR him unlike the votes for Clinton were many times driven by a desire to vote AGAINST the black man. Denial is a hard thing to admit to. The plain fact is Clinton had a high dislike factor. People could see through the calculating political street fighter that she and her husband are. The Clintons did well for the country in their time but their time is past. Time for a fresh start..a clean slate...spell that..O B A M A.
