Throughout the 2008 election, the Obama Campaign, the DNC, and the main stream media played the "race card" by insinuating that the reason a fairly good number of Americans, particularly white democrats, may not support Barack Hussein Obama, is because he is black.

Apart from the assertion itself being racist, I beg to differ.

As a result of my fairly popular AUDACITY OF TRUTH and my SARAH PALIN TRUMPS LIBERALISM sites, I have spoken to many Americans via email, on forums, and some even by phone. A surprising number did not support Obama.

Why?

Not because "he is black".

Here, let me list the reasons I have been given via email and on forums such as the PUMA sites and others.

THE WAY MANY OF THEM FEEL THAT OBAMA, THE MSM, THE DNC, AND OTHERS TREATED HILLARY. They feel that Obama, the MSM, the DNC, NOW, etc. have shown their true colors and that their commitment to women and breaking through the glass ceiling is a sham.

OBAMA'S TIES TO WRIGHT, AYERS, & REZKO. Many of them know intrinsically that these people, with whom Obama has willfully built his political career, are not friends of this Republic...even the more socialist republic some of them want to see instituted.

OBAMA'S STATEMENTS ABOUT HOW HE WOULD HANDLE FOREIGN AFFAIRS HAVE DEEPLY TROUBLED SOME OF THEM. Many of these people, despite their liberal leanings, like Liberman for example, want America protected from and want to defeat the abject enemies of this nation.

JOHN MCCAIN WAS VIEWED AS A MAVERICK BY THESE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE REACHED ACROSS THE AISLE TO THEM. The democrats I talked to felt that McCain was an acceptable alternative in their desire to defeat Obama and set up Hillary for 2012.

SARAH PALIN ON THE TICKET. This goes back to the first reason. Even though her views are in direct opposition to their own, and even though they see the threat she poses to Hillary in 2012 if a McCain-Palin ticket is elected, there is something about her home-spun, and in the face of Obama ways that a lot of these people like, and they are committed to their ideal of breaking the so-called glass ceiling.

My experiences may not be "scientific" from a polling or demographic standpoint... but they clearly represents a weakness in the so-called "mandate" Obama is likely to try and implement as a result of his victory of November 4, 2008. It is a weakness that most certainly will not line up with the public perception of change he engendered and campaigned on, and it is a weakness that should haunt him throughout his administration's tenure. That weakness is based on his ideology and his stance on the issues...not on his race or skin color.
