It didn't matter what he was going to do in office. It was a black thing. You gotta know that. That's not a surprise."<br /><br />Of course, African Americans were inspired to see creditable African American presidential candidate run for office. However, Dr. Laura suggests that African Americans are a group of simpletons who only voted for Obama based on the pigment of his skin. That is simply absurd. If that was the case, Rev. Al Sharpton, Alan Keyes, and Carol Moseley Braun would have received 90% or more of the black vote as well. African Americans voted for Obama for the same reasons that other Americans voted for him. In light of the Bush Administration's failures, i.e. the economic meltdown and the Iraq war, Obama's progressive campaign theme of change and post-partisanship resonated with voters. He is a powerful orator with a spectacular record of accomplishment. That's why we voted for him. Now, that Obama has been elected people, like Dr. Laura expect black people to just shut up and be happy.Anson Asakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18251275167610699492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353011839380404074.post-24956786108525816082010-08-19T08:15:23.466-07:002010-08-19T08:15:23.466-07:00Wait a minute--you don't think some--lots--of ...Wait a minute--you don't think some--lots--of blacks voted for him because he wws black, and that they maybe know nothing about politics, like 90% of all people?
