I cannot believe anyone with any religious convictions whatsoever voting for a person like Obama, whose allegiance - even to his own religion, Islam - is wishywashy at best. Nor can I understand anyone, who calls himself/herself an 'American' voting for someone, who appears to have a stronger allegiance to Kenya than he does to the United States. This presidential race goes far beyond the issue of Black and White. It has to do with unquestioned loyalty to the United States of America and its ideals as opposed to a large question mark. Unfortunately, however, a number of Americans fail to see beyond pigmentation. They say they want ‘change’ - and that is their primary motivation. To them, 'change' means a different skin color. What a shallow reason for choosing someone, who could one day determine the future of us all! If I recall correctly, the citizens of countless other countries once said they wanted the same thing. Those countries are now dictatorships.
