Question

Help answer this question below.

Did you think the 2008 election was about having a "black president?" Since, starting election night, that seems to be the mantra, would you have voted differently?

    Nope - the skin color of the canadates had little if any affect on the majority of the voters.

    Which is why Mr. Obama is president now - nobody carred what color his skin was.

    It appears that Liberal Guilt AKA as former slave owners flet it was the best way to end slavery guilt, it also appears to have made teh Government cheap and makes my country look failed to be told who to vote for due to his color. Then hearing people on the radio talking about what a great country it is to elect a black man is President is great. However look at the long term effects of Black leadership in South Africa.

    I do believe it did play somewhat part and def. not a small one although not the deciding factor either. A lot of African Americans and people of color were in favor of him, without fully being aware of his virtues or goals.
    But thats just a perspective of mine based on the people I know and whom I've had a conversation with. It may well be otherwise.
