Well he ended DADT, killed Bin Laden and Gaddafi, got health care legislation passed and ended the war in Iraq. That is just a quick list. He also signed a few bills that make America sound like a Military state.
Depends on whether he wins a second term and what he does with it if he does. If he gets voted out in November, he'll be remembered probably as an okay president. His presidency can be given credit for some foreign policy accomplishments and for the stimulus bill, but not much else.

I was wondering about that. The only accomplishment I can think of is Bin Laden fell on his watch. I don't think that qualifies enough to merit being a great president.
[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]No, just the black president.BluRayHiDef
Do you think we'll have another Black president, or at least another non-White president? If so, how soon?
as soon as another one is qualified for the job or can find away to play the race card and in doing so have everyone ignore his or her deficient political stance.

Mitt Romney is not of Mexican decent. Just because his family escaped to Mexico to practice polygamy in the 19th century doesn't make Mittens mexicano.

I don't know what you are trying to say. If your parents were Americans then you too are American, but "American" isn't an ethnicity, it's a nationality. Mitt Romney is neither ethnically Mexican nor is he a Mexican national.

[QUOTE="FragStains"]Seeing as you are basically asking for us to inquire further, please elaborate.FragStains
What is there for me to elabortate on? I was as clear as I could be in expressing what type of president I'd want in the future.
You could give me your rationale.
Well, Blacks and Whites have a historical presence here in the U.S., as well as an arduous relationship with one another. Hence, though it is incredible to have a Black president considering the adversity Blacks have faced in this country as a result of the aforementioned ardduous relationship, it would be quite interesting to have someone of an ethnicity/ race aside from the historical racial groups - Blacks and Whites. It would be interesting to see how the country would react to the campaign and election of a non-Black/ non-White presidential candidate. As for why I chose a female, we've only had male presidents up until this point. As for why I specifically chose Oriental, I like Oriental culture and admire the work-ethic of Orientals.

I think they like to be called Asians.
I used the term "Oriental" to distinguish from all Asians, which includes South East Asians.
