Why has this campaign turned from Democrat/republican to black/white?

If Obama was white, he would still be president , but a lot of racial tension developed in this campaign. It's sickening.

Update:

Besides, it's 2008 now. I thought we as a nation was moving past racism .

Obama is of mixed race.

Obama should be a symbol that there is equal opportunity for everyone, not black vs white or white vs black

    In case you weren't paying attention let me reiterate what happened.

    The Obama campaign brought up the "race card" when Obama was running against Hillary Clinton. After the news media shafted her so Obama could get elected they carried that race card into his run against John McCain. The Republican party never brought up the issue except to deny they were doing it. Still Obama's campaign and the media kept on pushing it proving Obama to be a racist - because if he wasn't racist he would have had his campaign and the media stop talking about it.

    The racism is all on Obama's side - so you people need to get off the idea that it is any other way. There are enough news articles floating around the net that you could go back and check out the truth on this. Every racial issue came from Obama's camp first and it stayed with them because the Republicans refused to get caught up in it.

    Obama is not a symbol of opportunity for everyone - he is evil and will bring this country down. Many of you are blinded by his flashy smile and his less than impressive speeches, but your vision will soon clear as he begins to implement his policies and you find yourself under a burden you haven't even imagined yet.

    It's not about race in any way -- it's about electing a person to the highest office in our country that is totally unworthy to be there. It is a sad, sad day for those of us who love our country dearly, and grieve for you who have brought suffering on yourselves and everyone else in our country for whatever reason or excuse you choose to use.

    The mandate, whilst a tax, set a risky precedent on the instant. It became the 1st actual time in this country a countrywide tax has been levied for no longer determining to purchase a private provider. it particularly is constitutional as of on the instant, yet that doesn't make it suitable. i'm no longer a Republican and that's no longer approximately partisan politics. a great form of the worst innovations in the reform that became handed have been in there as a Democrat compromise with Republicans. Republicans and Democrats the two wrote the bill. it particularly is declared that the liberals are choosing to make this approximately triumphing factors in some variety of game. that's regulation that has effects on authentic people. And to be honest, there's a starting to be variety of people in this country it is getting ill and uninterested in being injury over the video games Republicans and Democrats play with one yet another.

    That's just the media take on it.

    If it were not for the white vote, President Elect Obama would still be Senator Obama.
