So we've had a black president - a two-termer in fact. When will it happen again? My guess is that it won't happen again in our lifetimes. Why? Because America is still racist. What's your prediction?
It's ridiculous to assume that people should be elected (or not) by their color. We are all Americans, and I would never vote for such a limited category.
Obama was half white, and people seem to forget that because he is so racist. Ben Carson would probably make a fine president and I would definitely consider voting for him, especially after his strong debate showing- and it has nothing to do with race.

Depends on what you mean by "lifetimes"? For most posters on C-D Politics, no it won't happen in their lifetimes.
Remember, Mr. Trump said there won't be another black President for a long time - I don't know why Ben Carson has not dropped out yet. Mr. Trump's insight would hopefully dissuade the likes of Alan West from running for President.

Not for a long time but I would not dismiss my lifetime.
If you support policies that enrich the richest Americans at the expense of everyone else, you're a jerk IMO. Also, if you're pro unnecessary wars, you're a jerk. Anti science? Jerk. Religious bigot? Yep, you guessed it - jerk.
Oh is that why the rich got richer during Obama's term. He doesn't support the richest Americans.
let's see:
powell, cain, carson, and even condi rice, would all have my vote
the problem with Obama isnt he is black...its his politics
Spot on, and something the "progressives" just can't get through their thick skulls. It's amazing they still think a no talent community organizer was competent to be president, even after 6 years of on the job training he still isn't competent.

so being a democrat/liberal means you are a jerk...thanks for the lesson
Obama had no governing experience when elected. He was elected because this country is indeed racist. People showed up in droves to elect him simply because he is black. Many people who have never voted did so. They wanted to vote in a black president. It sure wasn't because of his credentials.
