Hi folks. Sorry I haven’t had time to participate in my own thread. Thanks for the many thoughtful responses, whether for or against Obama. I’ll post some more comments when things slow down for me at work.

For now, I just want to say to those who have voiced opposition to the man because he is black, because his middle name is Arabic, because his father’s side of family includes Muslims, or because he briefly lived in Indonesia as a child, please take your racism and xenophobia to another thread and leave this one to more rational posters.
