Obama may very well be worth voting for, he certainly comes off as intelligent and personable, seems to not favor the black agenda on most issues.... but his cause isn't being furthered by his rabid supporters who can't find a way to get their message across without the insults and accusations of racism at every drop of a hat.

Fact is a lot of blacks ARE supporting him largely based on him being black. My whole point in commenting on the Oprah thing was that it would be nice if she backed him because he is the best person for the job, and it certainly would have gone a long way if she had of backed other candidates in previous elections (no matter what their race or color) as vehemently as she is doing for Obama.

Hell, if I could vote in the US I might have even voted for him under certain circumstances... but not because of the color of his skin.

Cheers.
