Okay wait Marilynk you one person I honestly do not want to argue with, but you honestly believe that he used his skin color to further his poltical career thus becoming the first African or Black or Black./White president??, then Marilyn I am sorry but then that is also a racist comment. And then to further say that because Hillary or even Sarah Palin because they are women used that as a advantage, you cannot compare the two at all. It should be only about men and women and that is it not the creed, the color, the race, the gender, the religion. Marilyn sorry but I expected a better response from you honestly I did. Why does it always have to come back to someones skin color, can we not simply judge someone from just the outside appearence???. Peace. Catherine
