WHy are we looking at RAce when it is Americans running for President......not a person of a certain color

Okay....let's get it straight!! Mr. Obama is not just an African American but also white. He is BOTH, but first and foremost he is a human being/a man running for his party. I get tired of this racial thing and people of all nationalities in this country need to step back and look at both candidates as neither white or black but men running for their party. Vote for the good of ALL AMERICANS and ALL NATIONALITIES..From and independant voter!
