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.

“Its a shame.”
Yes, it would be a terrible shame - but I don’t believe this is going to be an issue.
I’d never like another Free-America hating president. Nor would I like another LIB asshat president. Nor would I like another pot-head president. Nor would I like another no-self-history president. Nor would I like another DIMocRAT president.
yeah, but, that is SO complicated! It's much easier for liberals to understand "black".
Reminds me of a joke....
Interviewer asks Obama, “So what does it feel like to be the last black president?”
Piss up a rope ya commie freak. Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams would get my vote in a heartbeat. They would either of them be the best President since George Washington. Pity.
He’s damnably racistly wrong. I would vote for any of a half dozen living descendants of antebellum slavery, Condoleezza Rice, Herman Cain, J. J. Watts, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Ken Blackwell—and I’m sure I could think of another half dozen or more—before I would vote for a single white, Hispanic, Asian, or African-American Democrat. PERIOD. So who’s the racist here?
Go home, Leahy. Your voice is outdated, outmoded, and outmatched by the _true_ diversity: regardless of race or color or sex, we are Americans, I stand with whoever loves the ideals of America, and the heart matters much more than the skin.
> What Leahe means is America will never have another communist Black American.
The current POS CIC is the worst plague to ever have been visited on the American people in history. It’s very evident now that he was a Manchurian plant installed by foreign agents and that he is controlled by many puppets masters. The man has no morals, integrity, or loyalty to the U.S. its also very apparent he is a lying snake in the grass who cannot be trusted and that he’s up for sale to the highest bidder. Never again.
I sure don’t want another president that the press is afraid to investigate or question and that late night comedians are afraid to joke about.
0bama’s problem isn’t that he’s black, it that he’s red.
If the Democrat-Vote-Fraud-MachineTM puts HRC in the White House, she will accomplish the same thing regarding female candidates.
Same here. We have had some pretty bad white presidents too.
Makes no difference to me if a president is black but after Obama I won’t stand for another Marxist.
His favorite past time is sticking it to people. He is a major race-baiter and he loves chaos.
If he were working for me I would fire his sorry @$$ and make sure everyone knew why I fired him.
We never want another community organizer, or another fraud, or leftist militant of any racial persuasion, to include rabble-rousing blacks and white guilt imbeciles, or any leftist ass-hats, halfwits, commies and pop stars. We don’t want anymore Democrats, big government Nazis, nanny staters, or losers who hate America, the Constitution, individualism and decent school lunches.
Its not just Obama. Its a minority occupation Gov’t in DC that is doing its best to dilute old line white political power because it tends to vote Republican and conservative. This is done via open borders and using Federal tax money to support all kinds of black, Hispanic and other ethnic activist organizations
*minority occupation Gov’t
Valerie Jarret
Presidente Hussein
Moochelle
Eric Holder
Thomas Perez
Jeh Johnson -— evil evil evil
Cecilia Muñoz, Domestic Policy Council Director
Lots of gay appointees
Tons of white liberals in support roles
Why do these a-holes always want to act like it’s about color? Any color? It’s not about color Leahy, it’s about being an evil, stupid Marxist.
Sorry, Leaky:
Allen West - check
Thomas Sowell - check
Ben Carson - check
etc ..
Wasn’t it Colin Powell who was worried Obama would crash the bus?
I remember being called a racist for saying I wouldn’t vote for Obama. I admitted to voting for Herman Cain in the Republican primary, so it obviously wasn’t racism - just anti-fascism.
My stance has been that LTC West would make a mighty fine first black President.
