Mr. Jones, you are absolutely correct when you stated we should or should not elect a president because of his or her color.

However, that being said, there are some definite qualities and morals that come into the equation.

First of all, let me state that most companies and organizations require much more experience when hiring someone for a management position. All the public seems to care about is a person's charisma to run the country with the biggest economy on the face of the Earth.

Secondly, a presidential candidate should be someone who is honor bound to respect and salute the American flag. (Mr. Obama doesn't.)

Thirdly, because our country was founded on the strength of a strong Christian faith, our presidential candidate should not be one who takes his oath of office from the teachings of Islam.

My last comment at this time is God Bless America. (Mr. Obama refuses to.)
