It’s true that comments like “he’d only take care of the blacks” are idiotic and bigoted.
However, what you’re doing in this article seems to be the standard liberal strategy at the moment. Namely, to portray conservatives who voted against him as racist. Or at least, imply that large sections of the population voted against him because of his race.
Having travelled around the South recently I can tell you that the biggest problem white Southerners have with him is that they believe he is an arch-leftist, and they hate him for it.
Two other things are worth keeping in mind. First, many of the quotes you describe are from anonymous people – anonymous I assume even to you.
Second, your strategy of using actual examples of “white male bashing” to disprove the concerns of white males seems strange, to say the least.
Third, let’s not forget that many – perhaps most – of Obamas supporters were supporters precisely because of his race, at least in part.
Finally, Obama himself has made much of his race as in issue (“I’m not like those other guys”).
So the argument that Obama is just a regular guy whose race is irrelevant and the only people talking about race are paranoid white guys just doesn’t fit with the facts. Even the facts presented in your own argile.
