Presidents' Day Poll

And please, do tell, how is the current administration more liberal than Clinton (other than on immigration policy ... where I give them singular props)??


As for "why" a female or black president .... I simply feel that breaking the barrier, even symbolically, of the white male ruling class for the pinaccle of the ruling class is of vital importance to the progress of mankind.

If one looks at the amount spent, never mind rhetoric, one will find that Bush has out spent Clinton in not a few areas where one would expect a liberal to be the most generous with public funds.............I guess the major difference would be that Clinton was forced by a fiscaly responsible Republican congress to act the way he did whereas Bush had a Republican congress that thought they could spend their way to re-elections(which is why they lost...idiots).

Your reasons for wanting a non-white-male for President are admirable, but I still believe fly in the face of what we should be trying to achieve.

I hope to see the day when a Black Woman is elected President and no one finds it important or remarkable in any respect to her gender or skin color.

Such as?

(I ask quite sincerely. Perhaps I haven't been paying enough attention. What "liberal" causes have the Republican administration and Congress lavished funds upon?)

And I believe that day will only come after (perhaps long after) the barrier is broken with much attention to gender or skin color.
