Directly quoted from the article.............
Diane Ferguson, a nursing home director in southeast Ohio, says she likes Obama but isn't sure she can vote for him. She's troubled by his early resistance to wearing a flag pin, his race, and a resume that looks thin to her.
"It's a hard decision," she said. "I don't know if we're ready for that one."
You know, I can "handle" the resume looking thin being a reason for not voting for someone. BUT.......resistance to wearing a freakin pin. I am VERY patriotic, but when was wearing a flag pin a requirement for being president? AND then the race issue............. I will just say that ignorance SUCKS! It really is a shame that in the year 2008, that race is STILL an issue! :(

yep. and if people would take the time to educate themselves they would see that some of what they think they know isn't even true.
it's very sad. and scary.
While most people know it is politically incorrect to be prejudice or racist, unfortunately race is still an issue in so many facets of our society. It is so disgusting to see members of my country continuing to be racist. And let us call them for what they are, not ignorant, not politically incorrect, but racist.
