    Ermm, yeah... first of all you're wrong on the black number... 90% of black voters voted for Obama, and the White number is typical for victorious Democratic Presidents... the real battleground is the Hispanic-Americans... they're normally religious which helps the GOP, but are fiscally liberal. But I think either a White man or woman will win after Obama is done, and certainly it would be amazing if a White Man isn't one of our next 3 Presidents anyway

    Yes, but it doesn't really matter. So could a white woman, just to point it out. The policies of the president are what matter, not race, color, religion...we just need someone who will do good for America, and hopefully also for the rest of the world. My point is yes, but it doesn't matter whether the prez is Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, Black, White, Yellow, red...only that he helps the USA.

    Huh? Did any white men win election in November, or did you read a different news account than I did?

    Ah Gummy Bear, so naive.

    Anyway, statistically yes. I honestly feel blacks are going to be let down. Unfortunately Democratic beliefs and policy fail every time, especially from an economic stand point. Read your history books.

    This is a little ridiculous!!!!! Race does not matter!! The Constitution DOES NOT say you have to be a certain race. And to the comment about "as long as he isn't Muslim", the Constitution makes it unlawful for the Federal Government to establish one religion!! This country boasts about being open-minded and multicultural but this is not the case. Please, conform to this country's original ideals or don't be in it!!

    The skin color should not matter. What matters is policies and Obama's policies are probably going to be disastrous, costing him any hope at reelection (unless the Republicans do something really stupid).

    If he is intelligent enough to realize that he won't be permitted to drag US society back fifty years, of course.

    The people have spoken.

    What's with the constant anti-Muslim crap on these threads? You people must not be from the NYC area--that does not play here.
