Obama is just as much white as he is black. You say he's black and I'll say he's white, and we'll
both be wrong. He's a half-breed, mulatto, or bi-racial, depending on your choice of term.
Factual statement, but seems to be overlooked. However, as a Southern, white female, I voted for Obama, but wouldn't have cared if the Democratic candidate was Asian, Latino, Greek, Pacific Islander or whatever. It seems many felt like I did that any color or idealogy was better than what we had for the last 8 years! People wanted change...JMHO.
