Historically, African Americans have always voted Domorcats, regardless who is their candidate, Clinton had around 85% of the black votes and John Kerry had around 88% of the Black votes, unless I am mistaken and something Clinton and Kerry isn't telling us, they are both white. African Americans do not just vote for Obama because he is black (at least not 90% you suggested), although no doubt there has been some have voted because of that, so would the some white Republicans who voted for McCain because the Democrats has a Black Candidates and that because McCain is white. The majority of African Americans voted (at least 85% - Clinton numbers, or 88% in the case of Kerry) voted for Democrats because they always votes for Democrats not because Obama is black. So your 90% is now down to merely 2%. And you can't say for certain statistically that there are less than 2% of Republicans who voted for McCain because he is white, because Obama is Black, muslim, arab....etc it's a 2 way street. As to your second point, i can go on til the cow comes home but only time will tell if he can do what he promises to do. Plus i am at lunch and i still not gone out to get my sandwich.
