Well, I'm sure you didn't hear from every voter, just the ones who say some dumb shit so the media has some sensationlaistic, divisive story they can plaster all over the news. I have a hard time believing you have some sort of proof that the majority of voters voted the way they did because of race. Also, there has been record numbers of people registering to vote from many different groups.
I don't think anyone said race was a factor for a majority of voters, only that it had an affect, depending on where we're talking about. In Appalachia, 20 - 30% of white voters claimed that race was the reason they won't vote for Obama, the exact percentages depending on the state and county. Far from a majority, but still a significant number.
I'm sure you've heard the old axiom "Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you." Same logic - just because the media is sensationalistic, doesn't mean what they're reporting is incorrect. And we're not talking about the Klan or Neo-Nazis here. I'm talking sweet little old ladies and honest, hard working young people who, when I talked to them during my last trip to Appalachia (where I'm from - Ohio side) told me, in no uncertain terms, that they would not be voting for that n***** .
"[in my first 100 days] I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution.”

I've got news for you guys, fancy quotes alone don't change the world.
This thread is pointless entertainment.
Obama, good or bad, this thread is useless.
Then why did you read and post in it?
I don't know about you but I ignore threads that are pointless. Time is a valuable thing...
