    Does/should his skin color really matter? :)

    From the tone of the comments this morning, it matters a great deal - to the Europeans. They, apparently, are the ones who can't get beyond his color.

      Kenyan goat herder I heard somewhere. So, not quite such a victory for the blacks then since he is a half cast.

        Miscegenation comes from the Latin miscere, "to mix" and genus, "kind". Apparently no-one has told Fat-Boy that we all belong to the same genus.

            You think I care what colour his skin is? I care more that he hasnt got a single policy other than 'change', without ever telling us what 'change' is. Of course, 'change' actually means 'racial change of president' and thats the point. Colour is very important to him, and many of his voters and detractors. If he wasnt black, or half black as it now transpires, he wouldnt have been elected.

              Less than 1:5 people said that race was a factor in their choice. Of those that did, 55% voted for Obama. Of those that said that race was not a factor in their choice, 53% voted for Obama.

                        I'll take that as an admission that you haven't been to his website. I have. I disagree profoundly with some of the changes he proposes to make, but then again, I'm also aware that most Presidents think they're going to make more changes than they actually do.

                        Why should anyone else try to give you the benefit of their work? Are you will to pay me my going rate to write up everything you should know by now? If you are trying to understand what Obama will mean to the US and incidently to the rest of the world, start doing some research rather than hoping to piggyback on pther people.

                          Even the usual media hasnt been at all forthcoming about his manifesto. I guess he stands for the usual crap, supporting whatever a company who funded his election wants, that kind of thing.

                                You seem awfully disturbed by our choice for President. :rolleyes: So far, you've managed to attempt subtle racism in about 3 separate threads. Way to go. Displaying those colors an all. Tell us again that you don't care about his color? :rolleyes:

                                      If you want to see it as racist go ahead.

                                        You really do put a lot of effort into being an arse. Why not chanel that energy into something more ammusing?

                                        You mean like being a spelling teacher?

                                          That probably provides you with too much of an opportunity to be an arse still. How about learning the art of conversation? You know, where people discuss views in a calm and reasonable manner. I am sure you could be good at that if you applied yourself.
