Carolyn I sense that Obama's running as a black candidate is part of the political strategy of his campaign. To defeat Hillary he ran as a black candidate and secured the majority of the black vote. Slowly, I think you will see that black identity fade as he moves to appeal to white people with soundbites about his white Kansan mother and going to Harvard. He will then say I am one of you-------. You are right-----the question has not been ask of Obama and should be ask. mj

The media is just out of kilter. They and Obama forget that most Americans don't consider a color of a persons skin as anything more than just that....someone else's skin is darker or lighter than theirs. NBD! The poor me mentality is just over the top, especially for the Obamas....Obama's black father was NOT a slave, certainly not in America. Who does he think he's kidding? We know a fraud when we see one, no matter how much we may wish that fraud wasn't a fraud.... The Flim Flam Man and Elmer Gantry come to my mind here.....
