Try showing some pride as a black man (if you are). Whether you agree with Obama's positions or not, try acknowledging the significance of his accomplishment in becoming the first black nominee of a major party, running an incredible campaign and oh by the way, he is winning.

That was a governing decision he made. I might not agree with the decision, but he did buck his own party.
