Me being from the USA I agree with you and disagree with you as well.

There were lots of people who voted for Obama because he'd make a much better president just like there were lots of people that voted for or against him for the wrong reasons.

I am not sure if you are right that he had lots of support because of his race I am sure that is some of the reason just like that is some of the reason that some people did not vote for him.

I believe that obama won due to his race and I also believe that sarah palin really messed things up for john mccain... if john mccain would of picked Romney, Mccain and Romney would get getting ready for the white house. But alot of people who voted, voted based on race and NOT understanding policies. Howard Stern had guys walking in the street talking to obama "supporters" and questioning them saying Obamas policys were mccains and Mccains were obamas, and they agreed with Obama (even though they told them mccains policies instead)

Americans in general are still very gullible.

An American can have a strong view on something and then someone says something that sounds good and that American will have a new view instantly as if his or her other view never even existed.

Americans in general do not understand that just because something sounds good does not make it true

Although the right person will be president and that is what matters
