color over content and character

We have a new President. Our first black President. We're supposed to be happy because of the historic milestone of this event, but honestly, how can you, if you still have retained your wits about you this election.

If Obama was elected solely on his socialistic, Marxist ideals, that's one thing, but I do not believe Obama was elected on what he believes, but rather on his skin color. What bothers me more than anything in this election, is how people turned a blind eye to Obama's character in regards to his associates (Ayers, Rev. Wright, Rashid Khalidi) and his openness to "spread the wealth around" and tax people who make less, I mean more, than $250K. Instead, people saw a suave, black man and jumped on the bandwagon to make history, and in doing so, forgot all morals and principles.

Wasn't it MLK who said we should judge a man by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin?
