We have also never had an openly gay or lesbian president either, and I doubt we will in my lifetime. As for another African American president, I'm pretty sure the Republicans are going to go all out to nominate and elect their one and only Michael Steele, or that J.C. Watts dude from Oklahoma. Those are the only two black GOP politicians I know. And, if one chooses to be accurate, Barack Obama isn't our first African American president; he's our first mixed/mulatto/biracial (I don't know the PC term) president, so in a sense, we still have yet to elect a BLACK president. I do believe it is foreseeable in my generation seeing as how I'll probably live another 60 years and how my generation is less racist than my parents' and grandparents' generations. I do think we will see an African American along with a Hispanic and hopefully a woman (but NOT Caribou Barbie) in the White House.
