Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said Thursday that some Americans "never want to have" another black president. The Hill reports that Leahy made the comments during an appearance on PBS' "Tavis Smiley" show. Urgent: Do You Support an Ebola Travel Ban? Vote Here Now. "Get out and move around America. You'll find plenty of examples of racial prejudice," Leahy said. "There are those who never want to have another African-American president, and that would be another very, very bad thing for this country." Leahy, who took office in 1975, supports President Barack Obama — who in 2008 became the first black president in the nation's history. But Leahy, according to The Hill, said Obama getting elected to the Oval Office is just the start of a trend that needs to happen.

Obama came under fire last month for comments he made at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner. The president told black leaders "most Americans" think the criminal justice system suffers from institutional racism. Obama's comments came on the same night a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. was shot. Ferguson has been the site of massive protests and riots after police there shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August.

Allen West has the advantage of being a decorated vet.
Obola is his name and having been the worst president ever, will be his fame.
Well, I have thought these thoughts.
I have heard those words in my head and even in my mouth.
This man has infuriated me to no end.
However, I know that I would in fact vote for Allen West.
And I expect that would vote for a black man of similar character given the opportunity.
The truth of the matter is a person’s skin color is not a factor worth considering.
It’s what is on the inside that counts.
It’s most unfortunate that a man as foul as Obama also happened to be black. It’s a shame, the man has done real damage to race relations.
Alan Keyes! Check!
I never wanted the first one. I knew it would be nothing but an affirmative action hire backed by massive racism.
Conservatives don’t give a damn what color he is. We don’t want another Marxist president.
Liberals are the ones that judge based on race.
wait, wrong Leahy, nevermind...
I will mention Leahy because he is the fool they wheeled out to make this shocking revelation (??)
Leahy, I feel the same way about BO as I do you, Clinton, Carter, LBJ, a lot of what the Bushes and Nixon did, and you didn’t call me anti White.
Maybe I don’t like the politics of fools that IMNSHO I feel is designed to either dismantle or at least weaken our resolve.
Never want another non-American, America-hating, commie President. Skin Color isn’t the problem. Commie Rat bastard is the problem.
Frankly, I never think of BHO as “black” until the topic comes up, yet again. But recall the old warning that he who controls the meaning of words controls the outcome of a discussion. Just what does he mean by “black”?
When Nobel Prize winning poet Tony Morrison can write an October 1988 New Yorker article titled “Clinton as the first black president”, then what is “black”? When the NAACP calls the black conservative Kenneth Gladney, “not black enough”, and “not a brother” then what is “black”? When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, than what is “black”?
And when Obama, a man whose mother is Caucasian, and whose father was one eighth African Negro but majority Arab, can tell us in his autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity before *deciding* to be black, what is “black”?
As these expressions of “black” pile up in the mind of the public, more and more will wake up to this truth: with respect to BHO being black: it is not about the racial characteristics he was born with, it is about the socialist ideology he adopted. It is not what percent black he is, it is about how thoroughly red he is.
I never want another red president.
They won’t be suckered in again by a skinny, incompetent, bisexual, male in black skin.
Next time they will be suckered in by a fat, incompetent, bisexual, female in white skin.
I definitely do not ever want another muslim president.
I definitely do not ever want another communist president.
I definitely do not ever want another homo president. Homos cannot be trusted to recognize the simplest truth, or to tell the truth in any matter of significance, or to honor any trust above and beyond their perverse obsessions.
I definitely do not ever want another druggie president.
Four percent of black voters did not vote for the communist, muslim, druggie, faggot. Any among that four percent in the White Hut would put the US in a much safer position than it currently is. A handful of that four percent might actually be good presidents.
How dare this treasonous (i.e., leaky Leahy) bastard imply such a ridiculous assertion! I would vote for a black man or woman in a heart beat if he or she shared my values and political views. To state something so offensive, one has to wonder what this creature sees when he looks in a mirror. You really have to question the mentality of the voters in Vermont who continually return this wretched person to the Senate.
His Kenyan father was 100% black. Stop being ridiculous
I would vote for Allen West.....but aside from him I can’t think of any blacks conservative enough to vote for
The next African-American President will likely be a conservative. We’re right now seeing why we shouldn’t have a Leftist for President anytime soon.
At 84 years old, he's almost as old as Hillary but yes, I'd still vote for him.
I didn’t realize Thomas was that old. Yeah, I would still vote for him.
Allen West would be just fine and dandy
You bet!!!
Liberals (who now call themselves “progressives”) have shown they are not ready for a black president. No jokes about his administration. No critical and honest coverage in the media. Rinos are all hiding under their desks for fear of starting riots. Blacks attacking whites like we have a new Klan in the cities. Everyone is acting like racist retards.
