"Some say history frowns upon electing a president who has not had on-the-job experience. Those same advocates would have you believe that history forbids electing a president who is not a white American male. There is, in fact, no history that addresses either of those positions."

Who are "some"? Names please. Shine the light of day on who, what , where and when "some" have said as much.

Hillary and Obama both have a shot at the Chief executive job. I suspect that our nation will not elect either, neither because of sex nor race, but because of their desire to reach deep into your pockets to pay off their voter base.

Three years ago, I would have campaigned for and voted for Condi Rice, but then her lapse in judgement took her on a path of meaningless concensus building.

Quit pandering to the few posters who buy into the "all conservatives are sexist and racist" mindset. There are far weightier concerns for our nation.

And some say people will play the race and gender card in order to garner the vote of the airheads who will think of themselves as 'enlightened' by voting for such people, regardless of their policies.

From the two replies to this letter, I can now presume we will no longer hear of John Edwards' inexperience as a reason not to vote for him. That's a relief.

I would suggest history not only addresses this, it goes so far as to prove it. The best I can remember no one other than an White American male has been elected president. If you don't count Bill Clinton as the first black president.

If you can show otherwise, please do so.

John Edwards? Is that the psychic guy?

My prediction is well over a year old but I said it and can probably find it: Obama will win.

Course, most folks scoffed at the idea then. Not looking so far-fetched now is it?

Blacks are gonna vote for him overwhelmingly. I don't give a flip which black org says they are gonna back Hillary.

South Carolina moved up it's primary. How important do you think that will be in the democratic primary considering the black population there? After SC, it's over. Obama will be the democratic candidate and he'll win, even though he is the most googled name to be paired with the AntiChrist.

Although Obama's 'blackness' is questionable, considering the history of 'black' democrats, I'd consider the odds of some kind of assasination attempt between now and election day to be probable. If it does happen, it will fail.

I hope the pre-trib view is correct.

My prediction is that it's still Hillary's to lose. And as I said many months ago, I hope I'm wrong -- but not for the reasons most of you hope I'm wrong.

"...even though he is the most googled name to be paired with the AntiChrist."

I don't understand what that means. Can you explain?

Actually, he's not the most googled name to be paired with the antichrist. I think that would be Dick Cheney.

What I mean is people searching use the name Barack Obama with antichrist when they do a search at a very high volume.

Search on Yahoo.com. Type in antichrist. In a pop-up box below or after you've hit enter, it will say "Also try Barack Obama antichrist".

What I'm saying is that a lot of people are thinking he's the one.

I'm not convinced but I do think this is one guy who we know VERY little about. Young Muslim kid skyrockets in fame coinciding with the year 2012. I mean, I ain't saying it's so but this is a conspiracy theorist's wet dream.

Check out this link. I'm not saying everything on it is fact but it definitely will give you cause to ponder:

Well I see that if I type in "Darth Vader Cheney" in Google, I get 166,000 hits, whereas I get only 67,800 hits for "antichrist Obama". So that must mean Dick really is Darth Vader.

While you state: "I'm not saying everything on it is fact but it definitely will give you cause to ponder", I read the link and see completely biased, prejudicial hyperbole. So now I question your powers of reason.

Nitpicker,

I want to go on record, too. I've mentioned it before, but I'm saying Hillary. She'll run with someone fairly insignificant (let's use Bayh as an example) until the last couple of weeks. If the polls show her ahead, fine. She'll stick with _insert less-important person here_.

But if she's faltering she'll kick him out and, with a week to go, bring Bill in as her last-minute surprise. Announcing it won't be a problem. The media will be glad to help. The undecideds will be thrown into turmoil, and any pesky legal issues can't disrupt the election. They'll have to be decided in the courts afterwards. But for the days that matter the people will be voting for Bill. Oh, and Hillary. And if the courts go against the Clintons then they'll just bring back in ol' what's-his-name as VP.

Like any good politicians, they aren't going to let something pesky like "laws" or "The Constitution" get in their way.

But here's hoping you're right. At least he (Obama) seems like a fairly amicable socialist.

Roger

P.S.- We'll figure out the reward for being correct after the election. A virtual round of brown liquor, perhaps.

Sounds good. Though I'm more of an ale man myself.

Howie, if you could read that entire link and not have a hint of concern, I also question your reason.

This is the President of the United States we're talking about.

I don't think most folks are ready to elect a Muslim (converted or not) to the White House.

Nit,

I read the entire post, and my only concern is that reasonable people (of whom I once considered you a member) might actually give it some credence. This is a bigoted rant described as relevant personal history. And the suggestion that Obama is some sort of devil in disguise is absurd. I don't have the few minutes it would take, but how hard would I have to look to find a similar chronology painting Dick Cheney as the devil?

Howie,

Dick Cheney IS the devil! Which makes the family ties between he and Obama even more interesting.

:)
