This letter is associated with the following article:
What small-town America is saying about Obama In diners and mobile homes from New Mexico to North Carolina, I listened to working-class people try to make sense of a black president named Barack.
  • NOT COMPLICATED!

    Ah yes... and we should continue to pretend that "complicated" views of Obama are not just plain old racism. OK... whatever.

    This country is toast. If these are the people deciding this election then we are done. People who can not explain why they "just can't relate" to Obama should be asked this question "If all else was equal, but Barrack Obama was a white protestantwould you vote for him?"

    I bet I know the answer.

    In the end, I don't want someone I can relate to in the White House, I want someone smarter, and more capable then myself in there running the show... Corporate boards don't hire CEOs based on how well they "relate", they hire them hopefully based on performance, vision, and leadership, and maybe brain power.
