New US president: Obama or McCain

[zathras]

Any candidate that would consign Donald Rumsfield and Dick Cheney to life in the retirement home rather than the President's home would be a good idea. For that reason I'd hope it was Obama (they being republican). However I would not expect Obama to complete two terms in office given the strong feeling some people have about blacks in the US.

There are more blacks and hispanics in the US than whites. Also look at the parties themselves.

74% of the total population are white.

You sound like a scaremonger for the KKK!

Anyone want to borrow a pillow case?

Does it come with a matching sheet and origami type instructions?

I'd vote for slow painful death for Rumsfeld if it was available.

two months in office

Given said strong feelings and the availability of lethal weaponry in their equivalent of Asda

Sadly, I think this may well come to pass.

I wonder if this would be the case if Condi Rice would have stood for the Republicans? She probably thinks that she is a LOT safer going back to teaching/research at Stanford.

Was instrumental in ending the cold war.

Didn't do too badly, then.
