Just a quick post, I came across and read this post : Link and it reminded me of one major turn off from the rally, my response....

You know what, Id hate to agree with you but it's true. At his rally in Chicago there was a gospel choir singing before he came out, and my friend who is Muslim noted feeling a bit excluded, like this campaign no longer was investng efforts into his vote simply because gospel music was not a part of who he is culturally. It is sad to say that a bit of Barack's (as an entity not necessarily a person) gimmicks (so to speak) are starting to show, this does not mean I do not FULLY support Barack, because I do.
I am simply saying maybe his campaign manager should take a look at what all these subtle gestures can be translated into in terms of voter turn out, because there is certainly an element of exclusivity and it's not a good thing.

And... really, I don't mean to be critical or rude per se, I just want Barack to be understood as a man who is open to diversity, because I am confident in that he actually is. I just want him to do well and be our president!
