Any mention other than his personal or political qualifications, such as 'The First Black President" is a racial statement.

The fact that he is Bi-racial played a role in his being elected. Which makes this partially a race based election. The Republicans screwing EVERYTHING up opened the election for the Democrats. They simply had to pony up a decent candidate.

Do not kid yourself, his qualifications are average. His knack for emulating Kennedy is genius.

Nobama but NoBush is even better!
