So he says it doesn't matter if we elect Obama or not, the important thing is who he picks as his VP.
Who? name someone other than a Civil Rights figure particulary of the 1960's.. Your buddy is wrong... and his view is based on perception... We have black governors, a Secretary of State, a Supreme Court Justice, Congressmen...etc . Also note that all assassinations of political figures have been white men that were killed. Don't buy into it...
