For the record, I did not vote for Obama because he's black!
Or biracial or whatever.

I voted for him for many reasons, among which was because he is extraordinary and I felt in my gut that he had the right stuff.

And isn't that the point? That race isn't a factor?

I wish the pundits would quit talking about how he was voted for President because the country wants to cure racial division. Yes, I'm happy about the race thing. It's about damn time. But that's a perk. It's MAINLY because he's the right person for the right job at the right time, and he's EXTRAORDINARY!

I just LOVE him! (and how great to have a cool Prez instead of a cowboy!)
