Well shut my mouth and just color me stupid.....

..... we are in the process of finding two candidates, one of whom will ultimately be President of these United States of America.... and it appears that some folks are more concerned about the sex or race of the winner --- than the qualifications and directions that he/she would takes us!

Oprah made her decision and made her public stand and then...

..." a backlash by Clinton supporters appears to have prompted a rethink by Winfrey, the African-American media titan who is routinely described as the most influential woman on television.
She did not reappear in the final days before the New Hampshire primary - which Obama lost to Clinton - and has been absent from the most recent campaigning in South Carolina, which votes next weekend.
Obama aides believe that Winfrey will return to the campaign. Her own staff noted last week that in addition to her daily broadcasts on television and s
atellite radio, she has also been busy negotiating a multi-million-dollar deal with the Discovery cable network to create her own television channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Yet Obama’s rivals suspect that Winfrey has been startled by the virulent reaction to her previous campaign appearance.
It started with a message on her website entitled “Oprah is a traitor” and rapidly expanded to include several discussions that attracted hundreds of comments.
In the original post, a reader called xxxx68 said she “cannot believe that women all over this country are not up in arms over Oprah’s backing of Obama. For the first time in history we actually have a shot at putting a woman in the White House and Oprah backs the black MAN. She’s choosing her race over her gender.”
In a subsequent comment, xxxxlady wrote: “I don’t think Oprah is a ‘traitor’, but I do think she may be alienating a lot of her fans.”
Others have accused Winfrey of racism for siding with Obama when such a well qualified woman as Clinton was running.
Winfrey has built her career on empathising with women’s issues and offering a daily diet of redemption and hope. Her show typically focuses on women who have suffered but survived.
So hostile has the response been that some suspect dirty tricks. “All the rude and hateful messages on here can’t be from Oprah fans,” another visitor noted
. Someone’s campaign (wonder who?) is sabotaging the message boards.” "

You gotta feel bad that none of these folks are concerned with which candidate is best or who has the best vision for the country ---- only who is blackest or who is the girliest..... A damn cryin' shame!!!
But the worse shame of all is that these pea brained, bigoted, bias blinded, so called American citizens even get to vote! We don't need to bring back the Poll Tax, we need a "POLLSAT" to see if they are intelligent enough to vote!!
