My votes for Barack Obama were among the easiest electoral choices I've ever made- Ike was the easiest, JFK next.
He was simply a better candidate, in every way that counts to me, than his opponents.
However, his biography does demonstrate that someone with the most unlikely of origins can achieve lofty heights.
That was my point.
I don't know what racism is - if there is such a thing- and don't care to learn what it is.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
