Well let's turn it this way:

Do you really think that even a few decades ago, someone of that skin colour would've gotten in? I don't think so. And I think in the case, this really does mean something.

There was a point? (Just kidding)

But we still have not had:

Our first woman president
Our first gay president
Our first Mormon president
Our first Mexican president
Our first Terminator president
Our first Suzuki riding president
Our first Subsim player president
Our first polygamist president
Our first atheist president


OMG, America has a long way to go!

The gay, polygamist, atheist and terminator parts are hard to prove.

Actually, all those are hard to prove!

Hehe, I know, but there might have been a terminator in office allready, maybe sent from the future to ensure ... uhm ... research in ... uhm ... terminatory areas. We all know that people in the future spend almost no time at all in their own time.

You mean elect a gay Mormon woman of Mexican heritage who rides a rice burner when she's not playing subsims on the computer with her four "wives"?

Hmmm, well, as long as she's not a terminator robot, or worse, an athiest she's got my vote. As long as she's not anti-gun i mean...

yes but talking about black when seing a black man always seemed disturbing to me he's black and what is he human or not .? maybe that comes from a suppressed culpability feeling of the European (from where the americans also come from) towards the africans and what happened with the slavery

Now if we could only elect a government that would get their heads out of their a55es and do what's right for the country instead of themselves
