Here's some insight. This was posted by a friendly acquaintance of mine. And yes unfortunately she is an Obot. The bolded part, total delusion.

Just Because He's Black (author unknown)

A white man asked his black friend ' Are you going to vote for Barack Obama just because he's black?' The black man responded by saying, ' Why not? In this country men are pulled over everyday just because they are black; passed over for promotions just because they are black; considered to be criminals just because they are black. Thousands of white voters won't be voting for him just because he is black! However you don't seem to to have a problem with that! This country was built with the sweat and whip off the black slaves' black; and now a black man has a chance to lead the same country, where we weren't even considered people, where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same fountains, eat in the same Restaurants, or even vote. S
o yes I am going to vote for him! But it's not just because he's black, but because through his leadership several of Americas elusive enemies were brought to justice; several of our citizens rescued from peril; our economy, health and environment improved; and our good reputation around the world has been restored. He is hope. He is change. He is wise. He is a man of integrity and intelligence. He is a man of of faith and perseverance. A man of maturity and good judgement. He is a faithful husband and father, and he now allows me to understand when my grandchildren say they want to be President when they grow up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal. They now see, understand, and know that they can achieve, withstand, and do ANYTHING just because they are black!
