1. On Jan 20, 2009 there will be.

n/t

[Moh96]

18. and his name is OBAMA

[Bake]

24. And I predict he'll be a one-termer.

Followed by at least 8 years of Pukedom in the White House.

Bake

25. oh, you mean like after Clinton's?

[surfermaw]

28. I think Bill had two terms and could have three if the law allowed

[jakem]

32. yes, followed by endless republican rule.

[yellowcanine]

26. Well that will be one term more than Hillary is ever likely to get.

[TheDonkey]

2. Pretty chilling that a generation that lived under Jim Crow could have a black president

Someone mentioned that on MSNBC it was a chilling and powerful statement.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. Yes indeed!

Hopefully in 8 years. :D

[Alexander]

4. Ask us again in 11 months.

[babylonsister]

5. 2009. Bank on it, and embrace it. nt

[DesertFlower]

8. i will.

:toast:

[AtomicKitten]

6. Yes, he can.

[casus belli]

7. Just goes to show you....

that "Hope" is not a silly platform at all. In fact, it's a quite powerful catalyst for real change. I think Hillary's slide largely began with her negative comments about hope being a central part of Obama's campaign.

9. Seen him already! It's gonna look really, really good!

13. I meant more black than Bill, lol ;)

[Obamaman2008]

14. Warren G. Harding was 1/8 Black

His Great Grandmother was Black.

[surfermaw]

29. And has been known as the most corrupt President, until Bush.

Harding, I have n ever heard that Harding was considered a black man, however he allowed his administration to plunder the nation stealing every thing that wasn't nailed down, he fathered a illigimate child,Allowed his wife to hold smokey polka game in the White House, Went down in history as the m ost corrupt, and in my mind caused the Great Depression , that Hoover was suposed to have caused. Three Republican and a great depression. For goodness sake don't split the Dem Party and cause us to have a thrid republican administration.

[zonkers]

15. That's it. Humanity is driving the Obama campaign.

16. Haha

19. It is a nice one ;)

[RoadRage]

20. I'm envisioning a 1/2 black candidate here pretty soon...

If all goes well, Clinton lays off the negative "won't do any good for her, but could do plenty bad for the party" attacks, and McCain keeps on his message of "I heart war".

[Snarkturian Clone]

21. Of course. There were three black popes, for Christ's sake.

There will probably be a black president VERY soon.. starts with an O...

We'll sure as hell have a black president before a Green president.

[calmblueocean]

22. The answer is "Yes! This year." It's an exciting time to be alive, and a great article you linked..

If you'd asked the question in the 60s whether a black man could be elected president, no one would've believed you. When we cross these boundaries, it makes me wonder what sorts of things I think are impossible now might be possible in my lifetime. I can't wait for the day when we show a new face to the world.
