If there is anything approaching an iron law of American politics, it's this: The next president will be a member of the same race as the current one. It's a rule that has held through 42 of 43 transfers of power. And there's every reason to think it will hold through the next one.

I don’t know if the next President will be black, but they definitely will NOT be a white male. George W. Bush was the last white male President this country will ever have.

Why The Next President Will Probably Be Black Too Michelle Obama

There. I corrected the headline for grammar and punctuation.

Welcome to the Peron/Argentina era of politics in America.

American politics: appeal to the visceral racism of blacks by putting up a black candidate and then give out free stuff to solidify their enthusiastic support. Since the free cell phone bribe was already done by the dems, I guess the GOP will need to up the ante and provide free cars with free gas!

This will not end pretty.

Why The Next President Will Probably Be Black Too

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m one of many who believe there will not be another white male elected president. Unless he’s gay.

Tokenism has captured the heart and soul of libs and gerbalists.

Or we could stop considering skin color a qualification for ANYTHING. And instead award things like scholorships, jobs and promotions based on a person's character, intelligence, and experience! I know. CRAZY idea.

Actually, I saw him in a picture the other day somewhere standing with Obama....a younger black man, shaved head and probably same mixed race as Obama. He’s running for Senate or something....but no mistake, he’s their pick for 2016 - Biden is gone, Hillary is gone...

George W. Bush was a mulatto—Who knew?

Actually, the Democrat strategy will likely be to run a woman, or an Hispanic, or an Hispanic woman, and cash in on the cachet associated with “minority” candidates.

Not even the demonrats will allow this. The experiment is over, and they know it- hence the desperation and dictatorship.

The marxist Axelrod made sure the BEST black candidate, Herman Cain, was branded with the number one fear of whites— the black man with a white female.

Classic communist tactic (and if true then Herman and his wife should have known better, that is— if she knew in the first place) to drive wedge in the ‘working classes’ and they’ve been doing it since the 50’s.

So, again NO the democrats will not allow it and the republicans would not be able to manage it.

After 8 years of Obama failing the black community, there will be diminished energy by Eric Holder’s “people” to turn out the vote in 2016.

Same as what? I have no idea what your point is, but that's ok.

Like a lot of people I am just tired of everything revolving around skin color or sex. Its just so meaningless! It indicates absolutely nothing about a person's ability to do a job.

...and the GOP will, as usual, choose an unelectable has-been or never-will-be as its nominee.


Mitt promised it's MY turn, next, dammit!

After all, black leadership has done so much for America, American cities and foreign countries.

By 2016 Barack Obama will have brought true equality to most of America.
When he gets done the entire country will be nothing but a huge replica of Detroit or Zimbabwe.

Why? It’s has been well documented at this stage of the game America does not need the Executive branch of Government.
All are failures. Why waste the time and money for employees that are on constant vacation?
Just pick some guy and give him AF 1 and say go live a wonderful life! Here is billion dollars, a map of all the best golf courses played by your predecessor and take your kids and wife to Disney!

The next, if there is a next, will most likely have brown skin as in middle eastern.

Eh. When Abe Beame was elected Mayor of NYC back in the day my mother said “There’s never been a Jewish mayor before, now they’ll all be Jewish”. She was wrong.
