No, that may have had a little to do with it, but it was not the only or even the main reason.and they wanted Obama just because he was black
Yes, it was time for one of the parties to nominate a black candidate, but only as long as he was qualified.
And Obama was.
He was not just any old random black guy chosen just because he was black.
Obama was an excellent choice, and he became a great President who kept a steady hand on the wheel.
To say it was only because he was black, bespeaks your true partisan ignorance.
