Answer 2

Race nor color has anything to do with it, they just haven't found a black person that has his head out of his butt. Every black candidate thus far has had a personal agenda and they need to shuck that at least long enough to get elected, they just can't seem to do it.

Answer 3

1) You're a natural born citizen.
2) You're at least 35 yrs old.
3) You haven't been a president for 2 terms already.
4) You've been a resident for at least 14 yrs.

Well, he is half-black, so he is half-black. He is still black, but he is white too. I dont care what the skin color is, I care about the policies, and Obama's policies suck.

Answer 5

He's a liberal socialist first in my book. He can call himself a black Latino Asian Muslim Cajun Indian Eskimo for all I care. I claim Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh as my heritage, but I would never expect to addressed as such.

His character is what matters. When that is revealed, let him be judged on it.

Answer 6

I guess as long as you have some black. People these days won't dare reject a black person as a candidate. God forbid. They all qualify! Articulate or not.

1) Be born black.
2) Declare one's candidacy.
