Interesting that you are the one bringing race into your criticism of the current administration; in fact you emphasised the racial aspect of the current leadership. Do I detect a little racism from you CMS?

Merriam Webster's dictionary: Racism
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
So when you can fit my statements into that definition let me know.

You are the one making references to failed "white" leadership

I did not argue that the reason that Bush has failed is his whiteness. I also did not "emphasize" it, you put it in bold. I also pointed out that Bush is a mainstream Christian and a traditional conservative. I pointed all of those things about because they represent what nearly every President in American history has been demographically. Clearly, in the last seven years, these traits do not guarantee success in a Presidency, why not open our minds to considering other possibilities.

Barack's church certainly seems to support racial homogeny but you do not complain about his affiliation with said church; I wonder why?

The membership of Obama's church is multi-racial. There are more white members nationwide than African American members. Can you explain this?

And your support has nothing to do with the fact that he is black and will provide a non-white alternative to the failed "white" leadership over the past 7 years?

No it doesn't. My support for him is for two reasons. Both he and Clinton and the Democrats have a plan for the economy. The republicans do not. MORE importantly, Obama is the only candidate who has said essentially "government doesn't work unless YOU pay attention and hold people accountable." He wants Americans to wake up and stop letting the media tell them about whats going on and inform themselves. He wants pork barrel spending to be publically televised and justified on news networks. He wants corporate lobbysits to make their case to the American people in public forum, rather than behind closed doors to corrupt senators. He consistently talks about these issues as the way to transform politics to make it work better for American citizens.
But all you want to do is talk about the statements of a man who isn't running for President, because you can't really beat Obama on the substance.
