217. Well, if it helps, there's a very good chance you're wrong.
To say that Obama wouldn't be running for POTUS if he weren't black is strangely dismissive of his more important qualities.

Let's dismiss those one at a time, shall we?

- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he weren't a man.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if He weren't tall.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he didn't have a good voice.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he were ugly.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he didn't have hair.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he didn't have money.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he wasn't so eloquent.
- He wouldn't be running for POTUS if he wasn't married.

What more can we add to the list? That makes the 'black' issue moot.
