Barack Obama was elected President not "because" he is [half] black, but "despite" the fact he is [half] black.

History have shown that all Presidents elected before Mr. Obama, all 43 of them, were all white men. That proves beyond reasonable doubt that somehow being [half] black translates to a net positive for Mr. Obama when it comes to his Presidential election.

Wrong, jack.

If I had a dollar for eveybody I head say they were voting for Obma because he was black, I'd give the excess to you, so you could retire wealthy.

I would vote for him because he is black, but that would be racist.

How did Mr. Obama get into Harvard Law, if he was a so-so undergrad?

Because he was Kenyan.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Do you think Obama did not get where he is partly due to his family connections on the left as well? They may not have been in a wealthy group, but he had a lot of hand up and introduction here and there nonetheless.
What does this mean? Of course Obama had help. What he didn't have was a grandfather who was a senator and a father who was a president. His "family connections" were his intelligence, his charm, his hard work, his vision -- whatever you want to call it -- that convinced people, a lot of people, that he was a man of substance worthy of their support. But family? If you insist on believing that he has nothing to offer, then by all means believe that the rules are tilted in his favor and that he didn't really earn his success. People just handed him the presidency, like they handed it to all the other black men and women in this country who became president.
Don't forget his grandmother who was a vice president of the second largest bank in Hawaii.

Lot's of people won't vote for Mr. Obama because his skin color is somewhat similar to these rocks.

It's the latest craze - vote for your skin color.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
I'd vote for pretty much anyone but a stoned black too. Or rocks in his head for that matter.

You got me there. A vice president. At the second biggest bank. In Hawaii. Wow. What was I thinking?
