i have to be continually reminded i am white because i don't see color. But in any case anyone can look and see that we have had an african-american on the ticked every four years for i don't know how long. Jessie Jackson ring a bell? But Obama (and what an unfortunate name he has- his middle name hussein will cost him votes) simply gave a nice speech once and now everyone loves him. The truth is the LIBERAL MEDIA (heh couldn't resist) love him and Hillary. Purely percentage wise, Hillary has a better chance of the two to win although you will notice her accent changes depending on who she talks to. Obama isn't african american in the first place, actually. He wasn't born in the United states and is a citizen on a technicality and i am pretty sure he's 1/2 hawaiian (don't quote me). At least Hillary has a proven track record of being a good President although i don't like any of her lesbian appointees such as the surgeon general or the woman in charge of education who got fired for promoting mastrubation in school curriculums.
