Black or woman president?
« on: January 08, 2008, 02:06:39 PM »
I have no problem with this but what about the rest of the country. What are your opinions on the subject do you think they can be elected or is the US not ready yet.

Eh, I misread. I oppose the two likely dems.
Yeah, one could be elected. Gonna be
a bit harder than otherwise though.

I wouldn't be surprised if the republicans
hold onto power, on this alone.

It's sad but I think it's true also

To make such changes takes a lot.
Kennedy, was the first Catholic
to win. But, he was a remarkable
candidate (even if an awful president),
running against a particularly questionable
one. PLUS, there had been another attempt.

Still, the war seems damned unpopular here.
Sadly, none of the likely dems are strong voices
against it.

I don't have a problem with electing either, but Obama has already gotten credible death threats and was given Secret Service protection early in the campaign.  Clinton already had Secret Service protection as the wife of a former President.  I think that if Obama is elected there is a high probability that he will be assassinated.  There are so many white supremacist loons who would be willing to die to kill him that one of them will be likely to succeed.  Jesse Jackson also got Secret Service protection early in his campaign because of death threats and I believe this may be part of the reason Colin Powell chose not to run.

I suspect Powell had something hidden.
Probably some nepotism, given his personality.

Actually, I think that the rest of the story is that his wife has depression and he did not want to expose her to the difficulties of a Presidential campaign.

I don't trust the man.
Then again, he's human,
so that makes sense.

You don't trust anybody, do you?

I hate this "are we ready yet?" bullshit.  Uh jeez, I guess the US is too racist to have a black president, so I have to be racist and not vote for him.

I don't get why anyone cares whether it's a woman or it's black
