You have to admit that there are certainly black people who voted for Obama based solely on skin color. I am white and I voted for Obama based solely on the fact that I dont trust guys named Mitt. Seriously though im sure there were both blacks and whites who voted for Obama based on policy. There were certainly blacks who voted for him based on his skin color and whites who voted against him based on skin color also. Dont think the issue is as "black and white" - no pun intended - as you guys are making it out to be.
