Did we elect a black president, and now getting ready to elect a women just to prove we aren't a racist, sexist country?

What ever happened to having the best person for the job? And since we supposedly proved we aren't a racist nation by electing Obama, why are there so many racial tension still, and blacks still hate whites for something that happened hundreds of years ago.,

    Yep. This is what affirmative action gets you -- incompetence, corruption, and mutual resentment. I can only hope that the average American voter has learned this lesson with Obama and decides to focus on merit this time.

    Several black men and women have run for President and weren't elected. If the only reason people voted for Obama was his blackness, why didn't those same people vote for Alan Keyes, or Shirley Chisholm, Pat Schroeder, Michele Bachmann, or any of the women who've run for President through the years?

    It's obvious that the only reason you say people vote for Obama and Clinton only because they're black or female is that you don't want anyone to vote for blacks or females.

    Hillary is sinking. Still over a year to go and she's trailing badly in Ohio, and on the decline in every battleground state. Near 60% of Americans view her as dishonest, and her approval rating is at 45%.

    It's not looking good for her

    I mean even Donald was able to put her down after she tried to blame him for Charleston.

    She can't answer difficult questions. Her candidacy and campaign is very weak.

    "Mr. Trump believes that Hillary Clinton has lost all credibility when she blames him for the horrible incident in South Carolina. Why would Mrs. Clinton attack Donald Trump for something that he has nothing to do with?

    Mr. Trump continues to send his prayers and condolences to the people of South Carolina. In light of the tragedy, Mr. Trump also cancelled a sold out campaign event.

    At this time of national sorrow, a responsible leader should be focused on uniting and healing the country.

    Mr. Trump believes that Hillary Clinton does not have any credibility when she blames words for violence. This is the same politician who lied to the world after she failed to take proper steps to secure the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and falsely blamed the radical Islamic attack on a YouTube video. This is the same person who illegally deleted her emails after getting a subpoena from the U.S. Congress."

    Where does information come from? Who is in charge of entertainment? Could it be that one group of people, a certain race, has ownership and exclusive control over all major news media conglomerates and also Hollywood? Could it be possible that this certain people has a vested interest in stirring the racial pots to keep the other races in this country at each other's throats? Wake up and learn the serpent seed teaching of Christ.

    We elected a highly educated, perpetually "No Drama" calm, erudite, eloquent, deeply compassionate, and incredibly gifted American man of mixed ethnicity to FIX THE GOP MESSES that nearly destroyed this nation.

    The fact that our miracles-working President Obama happens to have a skin color of warm cocoa was secondary to his wisdom and charisma. I suggest you remind yourself of the nearly fatal messes the GOP totalitarian-rule years and always-fail policies had created, to include PBS's "Frontline: Inside the Meltdown," and then make good use of sites like the parody JibJab, "He's Barack Obama" (which turns out to be an understatement of the problems facing President Obama upon being sworn in), or www.whitehouse.gov and www.recovery.gov to see that we, the American people, chose the best man for the job of fixing all these Republican-caused near-fatal messes.

    Hillary Rodham Clinton's time has come to serve her nation as the first woman elected to be U.S. President, but the fact that Hillary is a woman is secondary to her highly honed skills and experiences---the very skills and experiences needed to keep America on the slow-but-steady path to full RECOVERY and PROSPERITY that we have been on since President Obama took office in January 2009. Look up Hillary Clinton's very impressive biography as First Lady of Arkansas (multi-tasking like a true champion), First Lady of the United States, a U.S. Senator for New York whom even hardcore rightwing Rupert Murdoch called "a rock star", and as our most traveled, hardest working Secretary of State (foreign policy experience up the proverbial wazoo---and far more than any or all of the GOP candidates combined).

    No. Hillary just rocks.

    So does Obama.

    Obama just rocks.

    I'd vote for Kasich though.

    When are people like you going to stop pretending that there weren't people in 2008 and 2012 who voted for the Republican candidate simply because that candidate was white?

    The majority of Americans did pick the best person for the job, twice.

    Your question reeks of racism and sexism. You think that blacks and women are incapable of leadership roles because you think they are inferior.

    The republican platform is very sad.

    That's the marketing message, and you can hear it directly from the lips of Her Worship at every one of her appearances.
