Although i will not be voting for Mr. Obama, let's get it right, Mr Obama, like myself and very few (but growing) others are African Americans, we actually have something African to bring to the table. others that we got used to call African Americans are 'Americans with black skin'. when it comes to American politics 'Americans with black skin' have proved them selves to be worthless. an old tale told by my North-African Mother tells of Crow who wanted to walk like a Dove, unable to do so he failed to remember how he walked before and ended up with the funny walk he now has. the best that could happen for America and for Mr. Obama, is for 'Americans with black skin' to stay the hell away from Mr Obama, and let US all watch and admire his walk.
