I think definitely a woman in this century.  I'm 100% sure of that.

I think we will eventually have a Jewish President because even though it is a small minority, Jews have always been very good at climbing through society and taking leadership roles.

I'm inclined to believe that Barack Obama is more of a rarity than a new normal.  I don't think we're going to elect another black person President for about 30 more years. 

I think a female president would naturally come next.

I think we will eventually have an Asian President because even though it is a small minority, Asians have always been very good at climbing through society and taking leadership roles.
See how that sounds?

Jews have really been a remarkable group as a whole culturally and politically in America if you look at all of their accomplishments over the past 100 years.  They have been great leaders in our society.

We have had eight Jewish justices sit on the Supreme Court - Louis Brandeis, Benjamin N. Cardozo, Felix Frankfurter, Arthur Goldberg, Abe Fortas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Elena Kagan.

There are 3 Jewish Supreme Court justices right now - that's 33.3% of the court, for a minority group that only makes up around 2% or 3% of the total population.  In the current Congress, there are 30 Jewish members.

You could say the same thing about gays.  Gay people are a very small minority really.  It's not 10% of the population at all, its more like 3% or 4%, but gays have made tremendous contributions to American culture for such a small minority.

What I said was maybe not worded very well but the point is that a small minority group can have a great influence on a much larger society through hard work, creativity, innovation, and overcoming prejudice and bigotry.
