Surprise! America's First Black President Is A Dead Republican | PEEK | AlterNet (http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/59183/ - broken link)
So many people voting for BHO not because they agree with his message (if he even has one), but to "make history" by putting a black man in office for the first time... and as it turns out, we already did that 80 years ago.
Republican "Warren G" Harding was actually our first black president in 1920. This is not invoking the "one drop" rule and claiming he had a black ancestor centuries earlier. The man's great-grandmother was black. When you consider that Barack Hussein Obama is just as white as he is black, I don't see why it would be that much bigger of a deal to elect him than it was to elect Harding.
Maybe it's time for idiots like Ludacris and MOD CUT Winfrey to start paying attention to the issues on which Mr. Obama is obviously clueless instead of trying to make history that has already been made.

Well here's a more interesting article claiming that America's had five black presidents so far. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.

Uuuummm......are you confused or just simply....???
A 60 year old black woman claiming to be a fifth cousin to Harding wrote a book about her family history called Warren Harding U.S. President 29: Death By Blackness in 2005.
During the election of 1860, Abe Lincoln's political enemies, and especially amongst the Southern and copperhead media, accused him of being "tainted" with black African blood. Those were the forebears of today's Fox News.

And Lincoln being a Republican....................
