I don't agree.  There may have been blacks that voted for him because he was black, but a lot of white people, self included, voted for him because he promised hope and change.  I was disgusted by the attack on Iraq - they weren't a threat to us.  We sent our miitary into harms way for no good reason and we were already in Afghanistan.  I was disgusted by the neo-cons who were running Washington.  I wanted some hope and some change.  I could not bring myself to vote for McCain or Romney.  So for me, it was not that Obama was black, but that he promised something different.  I got turned off when he spoke out on crimes that he had no business commenting on, and when he started contributing to the racial divide.  I didn't know that he would turn out to be a weak leader.  

Color doesn't mean anything to me when it comes to the Presidency. If they could have persuaded Colin Powell to run, I would have voted for him.  I think the majority of people feel like I do.
