Race is NOT the issue.

I'd vote for Dr. Condaleezza Rice in a heartbeat. I'd have voted for Colin Powell if he hadn't chickened out. My opposition to Obama, like most thinking people, is NOT based on race. It's based on his wacko politics, his liberal bent, his far-left associations, his lies, his stupid statements. (What IS this "civilian defense force" he wants - as "well funded and as powerful" as the U.S. military? Does he mean to double the defense budget, or halve the militay budget? Or did he just go off the teleprompter and show how ignorant he really is?)
