Senator Barack Obama is the first African-American to be nominated by a major American political party for president. Some people will exclusively vote for Obama because he is black while others will look right and vote for McCain because he is not.
Baracka Obama’s mother is from Kansas. Barack Obama’s father is from Kenya. Will some people vote for Obama because he is black and white? If you ask me, race doesn’t matter.

You hit it right on the nose man, I never even thought about the color of his skin the whole time. The funny thing was on Nov.5 that was the main title on most newspapers”first African American president”, who cares its the issues that are important. Take care man, maybe Ill see ya on AIM sometime.
I thought Former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell was insightful when he endorsed Obama: “I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? -
