As for my support for Obama, remember that I was brought up in Washington. It was an all-black city when I was a kid. And I've always been very pro-African-American - or whatever phrase we now use.

I supported Barack Obama. I wasn't very quiet about my support. I thought he was going to be a refreshing change to George Bush. But what has happened is that we have an election that's become a single-issue election, and that issue is Barack Obama. And he's an icon to both sides.

You know, let me be very clear. I supported Barack Obama originally.

When Barack Obama is right, then I'll support him. When he is wrong, I'll fight him.

We can support President Barack Obama, because he supports us. We can support Barack Obama, because he shares our values and our vision.

I'm a complete supporter of Obama and kind of in love with him.

We can support Barack Obama because he's committed to putting America back to work with good jobs - and he proved it by saving the auto industry.

I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.

Much of America rooted for Mr. Obama simply because he is black.

I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people - because they look like them... That's American politics, pure and simple.
