All this talk that a large reason Obama has a difficulty winning people over is because he is black is miscued. Of course there are racist people who dislike certain races and that has an impact on some people's views on Obama
BUT, thinking objectively and being honest with sociology. If Obama had been white, would he have beaten Hillary in the 08 primary? NO. And if he had, and if he had beaten McCain as well, do you really think his presidency would be less criticized up to this point if he were a white guy? I don't think so. I think he'd be criticized more as a president if he was just another white male president. I also think he wouldn't be president if he were just another white male. I also think a lot of you wouldn't have voted for him, or taken note of him, had he been just another white male politician. I think his race works in his favor, contrary to the way people like Maher like to make broad generalizations that most of the right dislikes him because he is black
