I was talking to a black guy at my work and he is pretty conservative and he said he voted for Obama for the historical aspect and maybe some other reasons that I wouldn't be able to understand because I am not black. Making an assumption is not racist. I'm sure you could find much better examples of something that is racist. I'll even give you a leg up. Go look up what Rush said about Donovan McNabb. Once you look that up then I'll tell you how you are wrong there as well.
Maybe to you Obama is far left, he's not by any definition I know of.

It certainly is racism and nothing else. Powell delineated his reasons for voting for Obama very carefully, none had anything to do with race. You're calling him a liar and doing it on the basis he is black, that's pretty much racism by definition.
