Now that Obama has won the Democratic nomination for president, it's time for the Democrats and undecided Independents to either support him or whoever they choose to, but it's not time to attempt anything harmful to him or his family because of the color of his skin.
He has proven, at least to me, that he has the knowledge and the capability to surround himself with the right people to win over not only the black voters' support but white and younger Americans, too.
The time has come, and we must realize that a person's color and or heritage doesn't disqualify him from being intelligent and capable of running this country.
It is my prayer that Obama and his family are kept safe from any crackpots who cannot accept the idea of an African- American running this country that his ancestors help build, and I pray that others will join me in this prayer for the Obama family. God be with you Obama.
