Can you imagine the outcry if Romney (probably the Republican candidate for President) came out with a message for all white Americans to vote for him. Here is the link to Obama's announcement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BdjoHA5ocwU#
Thinking of any race or special interest group to vote for that groups candidate is akin to saying the members of that group have no mind of their own and need to be herded to what is best for their "own" people.... rather than what they think is best for the country. If I was AA/black or dark, I'd probably be really pissed that Obama had the nerve to try and incite us since IIRC, he is not black but like a nice guiness/harp, half black and half white in his race. Also, as a white guy I am a bit incensed that he hasn't asked that I vote for him since he is half white??? What... am I not equal to some black guy in Obama's eyes?
