When Will We Have Another Black President?
Pajamas Media ^ | September 5, 2010 | Dan Miller

Posted on 09/05/2010 5:47:03 AM PDT by DanMiller

During the 2008 political campaign, then-Senator Barack Obama called for a national discussion on race. Later, Attorney General Eric Holder called us a nation of cowards for not having such discussions: He said that Americans are afraid to talk about race, adding that

“certain subjects are off-limits and that to explore them risks at best embarrassment and at worst the questioning of one’s character.”

So let’s try to honor these doubtless well-intended requests.

It’s entirely possible that President Obama has poisoned the well for at least a generation. It has nothing to do with the fact that he is black; it is because he is grossly ill-fitted for the job and may well be the worst U.S. president thus far. To enumerate even his most egregious blunders would make for a very long article and I won’t bother. There are not enough good things to fill a short paragraph, aside from the possibility that he has united enough conservatives and frustrated enough leftists to make possible some changes we can believe in.

I love Sarah Palin. I don’t think she’s perfect, but she’s darn good. However, if Sarah were black I would not vote for her. She’d have to be perfect for that to happen.

Hopefully, when we find one with good conservative values, a healthy respect for the Constitution and true love & belief in America.

But — why does it have to be about race? Who cares what color the President is, as long as he (or she) is an American first and foremost?

Not for a long time is my guess. Too many voted for the commie. 90% I think.

I know it’s jumping the gun, but I hope to see Lt Col Allen West run for president someday.

Obama has poisoned the well for 100 years or more.

Zer0 is not authentically Black, like Sharpton.

From what I’ve seen so far, I’d consider voting for Allen West at some point in the near future. Not 2012, but any election after that if he turns out to be all he can be.

When will we have another president?

Hopefully when one believes this...

I don’t care what color the President is as long as he isn’t a freaking socialist hell-bent on ruining our country disparaging its accomplishments. “The desire to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it.” H.L. Mencken

As soon as the Ass Hat Libtards stop being so racist. When we can judge a man by his character and there is a media that is willing to look beyond the color of the Candidate and into the heart of the man; then we can have a President of any color or creed.

Eh, after Carter, they boo-hooed that it’d be a long long time before we saw a governor from the South dare to run for the Presidency again.

Hopefully never.

And never is a long time.
