Why Obama? Why???

I can agree that it must be important to African Americans to see someone rise to the position of President. A good friend of mine told me that the reason he was black had had no significance to how he voted. In fact we discussed the fact that people voted only because of that and not because of the issues. I am a Christian! Not a part time one, but a full time one. The special significance to me is to protect the sanctity of life. That is more important to me than any color of skin, sex, or party. The issue of life and the fact that we can not play God! When Obama said "it was above his pay grade" when asked about when life was considered sacred that is when he lost my vote. Yes, am a Republican, but first I am a follower of Christ. When are we going to get past all of this racial stuff. That has been a problem this whole election. Just because I didn't vote for Obama or agree with him as president doesn't make me a racist. How can anyone who calls themselves a Christian support killing babies. I have heard many people talk to me about going to church or about being a Christian and yet they voted for this guy. Someone please help me to understand how there is a more important issue than this!
