The Washington Post (10/25/2012), in giving President Barack Obama an endorsement for another four years, wrote, "Much of the 2012 presidential campaign has dwelt on the past, but the key questions are who could better lead the country during the next four years -- and, most urgently, who is likelier to put the government on a more sound financial footing."

His ideology comes from the fact he is black, even just half black. If I habitually vote against people who are black will I get a higher percent of better leaders? History says yes.

The worst part is I am called a racist for identifying the obvious.
