One of my best friends (she's liberal) has a mother who won't vote for Obama based on his name. It's not "American" enough. You have got to be kidding me. Please, just say you're a closet racist and be done with it, yeah? I can always appreciate honesty, even if I dislike the honest opinion. We can get somewhere, with honesty. But this bullshit about "his name" and god knows what else... no, it just drives us in circles as a nation.
