The post which said 'in all seriousness' was serious in regards to the comments on Obama and a coloured man being president. I don't see what is drivel about that, but I also don't care either.

I haven't been following the American politics because quite frankly there is enough to be concerned with at the moment in our own system without caring about the Americans and their next leader. I just like Obama from what I have seen, and judging from the poll I am not alone in this so why should I be accused of it being a wind up?

Obviously my first sentence was a wind up, I wouldn't pick a politician based on race, gender or religion or anything else, was just having a laugh. Regardless of whether you laughed or not, I found it funny at the time and obviously find it funny that I received such a tense response to it, although it was I must admit unexpected as I made it so blatantly obvious as a joke that I didnt expect someone to try having a go at me for it.
