Obama has said he does not want to be the black candidate...he wants to be the inclusive candidate-Dems, independents and disheartened Repubs.
I think he's sincere. I think he is completely misguided, and very dangerous because of his belief in socialist income redistribution, but sincere. And I just don't see the need to bring race into this--I can despise his policy ideas and hope for his defeat without being a bigot.
