Nothing unreasonable about any of that imo. ( The "T" Shirt part aint necessary though)

You may be right and there absolutely should be some amount pride in the fact that he may be the first black president regardless of what percentage of color he actually is. The first black president is long overdue, IMO. I am just not sure he is the right man for the job. I would hate to see him voted into office primarily based on color (being the first black president) when he may not be the best candidate. In other words, I don't think he should win just to show that the White House is an EOE.
In my little microcosm and from my own personal experience it just seems like many are primarily for Obama based on his color first and his qualifications second.
Like I said though, that goes both ways for sure. He is also not going to get votes based on his color which is equally as wrong.
Oh, and going back to the original post, being shot over an Obama shirt is flat out barbaric.
