Why does it have to be about skin color at all? Just because this jackass ruined everything doesn't mean another African American would do the same. I will grant you that another African American will likely never be elected in our lifetime because of what Obama did, which is a tragedy. That comparison shouldn't happen, but unfortunately it will. Obama has ruined that as well. That's what happens when you elect someone because of race, and not qualifications.
Hey, I'd be all for a guy like Allen West. Not because he's black, but because he's an ex-military commander, a guy with common sense and is "all about America". But we should never again "give the benefit of the doubt to someone just because he's black". You'all done waaaayy too much of that already, and made a HUGE mistake in electing Odumbo. (I said "you'all", 'cause I never voted for that asshat. In fact, I tried to warn against him from before he was elected. After all, he telegraphed he was going to be HORSESHIT .... but nobody wanted to listen.)
