Will Obama be the last black president of the USA?
No. There will be others. My real question is when will there be the first female, Hispanic, and Asian president?People need to understand when it comes to minorities and people doing amazing “firsts” in this country it is not all about African-Americans. Sorry black folks. You already had your first black president now. You automatically decrease in importance of getting another president of your own kind once Obama came. You’re secondary now. The other minorities now deserve the attention.Officially Hispanics, females, and Asians now should have more more attention of when they will get their next president. If any person saying otherwise… I will accuse you of being racially ignorant.Most of the issues I noticed is more on the lines of b.s. blacks experience on a civilian level. People thought Obama would change that. It didn’t… It just made more angry white men and divided people more. Maybe the concern here should not be about getting a president that is black to help cause change. Possibility it is doing activism at the ground civilian level. Considering what happened during Obama’s era I am on to something. I definitely remember seeing him getting a lot of hate from his own kind for, “Not doing enough to change things.” That being said forget about getting the next black president for now. I think it didn’t really fix anything in the way it should. It just more angry people on both sides. Anyone saying differently is simply suffering from nostalgia clouding their memory and the Mandela effect.
Is MIT admission only based on merit? Would Malia Obama have gained admission there?
MIT and Harvard admissions are both only based upon merit.No student is admitted to either college that the college does not firmly Believe that the student canAttend the collegeSurvive freshman yearDo well in a majorGraduate in a timely fashionAnd remember, both Harvard and MIT have Over 50% of the applicants each year who can Do that. Yet MIT admits less than 8% and Harvard less than 6% of the total applicant pool.Therefore, You may believe (for some strange reason) that Malia Obama will flunk out of or drop out of Harvard, but neither I nor Harvard believe that. Indeed, it is quite possible that she could be an Honors graduate from her Harvard College department.And remember MIT is STEM. Everyone (every single MIT freshman) takes two terms of Physics and Calculus and one term each of Biology and Chemistry and two terms of humanities/social sciences. I am positive that Malia Obama was Not interested in a STEM career. I am certain that she will find her niche at a Liberal Arts Centered college like Harvard College of Harvard University.So, PLEASE everyone out there, stop picking on Malia or anyone else who gets admitted to an elite Private US college. If they were admitted the college BELIEVES they can do the work, and until further proof is offered, they can.Thank you.
Why can't Obama sue Boehner and others in the GOP for slander and libel?
Why can't Obama sue Boehner and others in the GOP for slander and libel. It has been proven several statements they continue to make are not true, yet they continue to insist they are and people that watch Fox News tend to believe them, and not fact check, so in turn libel and slander them to their friends. Just one example of a lie has to do with saying Obama has discontinued the "Work for Welfare"program started by Clinton so now those on welfare are not required to look for work or be training for a job and still get a welfare check.This is a complete and total fabrication to incite anger in the white population and help the GOP get the white vote. There are many other lies, including the widely spread one that Obama was not born in the USA. Is Congress exempt from lawsuits regarding instances of slander and libel, or am I missing something? I have included the definition of slander and libel below for reference. Slan·der [slan-der] Show IPA noun 1. defamation; slan·der [slan-der] Show IPA noun 1. defamation; calumny: rumors full of slander. 2. a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name. 3.

Li·bel [lahy-buhl] Show IPA noun 1. Law. a. defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or
Is it true that according to the US Constitution, President Obama gained the legal right to change immigration laws because Congress did not act?
Years ago, for fun, I used to lurk on a conservative blog called rightwingnews.com where all the members would swear up and down that liberals know absolutely nothing about the United States Constitution. A few liberals hung out on that site as well and every time an argument broke out between the liberals and the conservative regulars, inevitably one of the conservatives would SCREAM out the words "READ THE DAMN CONSTITUTION!" bold and italics included.At the time I thought this was mere hyperbole. Obviously, liberals (just like conservatives) sometimes like to minimize parts of the Constitution they find inconvenient, but I found it hard to believe that they were literally ignorant of the Constitution.Well congratulations, liberals. You have successfully convinced me that the conservatives on that blog were right all along. Liberals have not, in fact, ever read the Constitution. Or at least, the ones who make this argument that "the President must act because Congress refuses to" haven't read it.I can only conclude that what little understanding of the Constitution they do have comes entirely from media soundbites and Hollywood. If it isn't spelled out for them by someone like John Stewart or President Bartlet, they're completely unaware of it.To any liberal who believes in this ludicrous notion that "President Obama gained the legal right to change immigration laws because Congress did not act" I issue the following challenge:Show me one quote, one single, solitary quote from the Constitution authorizing the President to make ANY changes to the written laws of this nation, under any circumstance.And to the rest of the left, the ones (or perhaps I should say "the few"?) who actually have read the Constitution, I ask you, why have you allowed your peers to perpetuate this hideous belief that the President is granted unilateral law-making powers whenever Congress doesn't do what he feels is right? You've read the Constitution (or you claim to) so you must know that this power does not exist, so why do I not see YOU joining with the libertarians and conservatives in refuting this argument and encouraging the ignoramuses among us to, for once, actually read the US Constitution?Surely you must agree that such mushy thinking ultimately threatens all our rights.
MILEY CYRUS IQ IS 130 AND BARACK OBAMAS IS 110 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IQ doesn't mean squat. I have known people with high IQs that had no common sense at all. It is more how you use what smarts you have than how much you have. Read this: He has not released that information. From the information available: The average IQ for a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in the U.S. is 115. Obama graduated Magna *** Laude from Harvard Law School. Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for over 10 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range. Obama attended an elite private school in Honolulu as a scholarship student. Since all of the graduates from that school at that time took collegiate aptitude tests and he was not a National Merit Scholar, Semifinalist, or Outstanding Participant, his maximum possible score on the SAT was 1230, which is the 96.9 percentile. That would translate to a maximum possible IQ of 129. It should be noted, however, that one of the requirements for the National Merit Scholarship is taking the Preliminary SAT test. If Obama did not take the PSAT, he could very well have scored above 1230 on the SAT without being a National Merit Scholar. Note To many professionals in the 'IQ' field , this is all utterly absurd. I have no idea what Barack Obama's IQ is, but nobody with even a rudimentary understanding of what IQ means and how it is determined would suggest that any of the estimations methods (school grades and positions held at college) described in the answer have any validity whatsoever
Why do so many minority youths drop out of high school when that pretty much guarantees a life of poverty?
Don't be so quick to judge! Your question is biased & without merit! The dropout rate is widespread & not limited to JUST minority youths! Their counterparts are experiencing drop out rates at alarming numbers as well! Regarding poverty, according to statistics: 1. There are MORE White people on public aid than Black people! 2. There are more White people using foodstamps than Black people! 3. There are more homeless White people in America, than Blacks! Solutions are needed to combat the onslaught of poverty, high school drop out rates & other societal ills in this country, regardless of race or ethnicity! Edit: James H, you stated President Obama said this himself, right? I'm sure he was reading a script! I find it very interesting in the USA alone, according to the media, Black people are gangstas, robbers, rapists, murderers, dope-dealing, prostituting, uneducated, unkind, unhealthy individuals! Yet, according to the media, White people are pure, wonderful, educated, hard-working, caring, self-sufficient, family-oriented individuals! Again, I'm sure it was scripted! BTW: I wonder, who wrote the script? Film @ 11:00!
In terms of the Four "M's" model of a campaign, how did the Obama campaign differ from the McCain campaign?
I just consulted with my good friend and famed political expert Joseph Beauregard Hucklebee, Junior, who advises me that the Four Ms are Mulatto, Moolah, Minky and Mojo. Obama was the only Mulatto in the race. McCain tried to get a Soul Transplant, but it never took. So that's Obie 1, Kanobody Nothing. Unlike McCain, Obama elected to go private in his general election funding, so he had gobs more Moolah in his campaign. That's two for the O-Man and bupkus for Old Wrinkly. Grampa John saw how badly he was trailing, so he nominated that infamous Minky Sarah Palin to be his Walking Mate. Score one for Cap'n Crunched. As for Mojo, Grampa John last spotted his Mojo at the 2000 South Carolina Primary. That's 3-1 in favor of the Obamanator. BOOOOOYAH, GRAMPA JOHN! BOOOOOYAH!
