One black guy has made it. So the Civil Rights movement is over. (A black guy might become president. We're living the dream!) In coming years, we will elect one member of each victimized minority group, thus erasing our national guilt- and their complaints. (Addressing centuries of systemic discrimination is hard. Voting for me is easy!) After Obama, we'll elect a woman, a latino, an asian, a gay guy, a lesbian family, a fat white guy. (The election of the first woman president means we can continue to pay chicks 20% less than guys! (Man: We're all feminists now!) The personal isn't just political. IT's practical! (We're a dozen tokens away from collective guiltlessness!)

And I think James Buchanan took care of the quota for electing a gay President.

And those of us that base our decisions of who to elect on qualifications…should stay home on election day.

Stewie, Where is it defined that “The qualifications for President the United States are:” Born in the USA is one, age another, are there others. I don’t see Mayor of a small town in Alaska, population 6K as one, nor POW. Stop with the nonsense.

Trogon, Been Governor of any State, especially one with the largest land mass in the Union, is more than enough to qualify anyone to be a VICE-PRESIDENT,on the other hand Obama never even ran a YMCA community pool program…

Yes, obviously Michael Brown, Monica Goodling, Alberto Gonzales, Michael Chertoff, Jeff Gannon, Harriet Miers, Clarence Thomas, et al. were all the best qualified people for the job. Funny also how people told us 8 years ago that Jughead didn’t have to be the smartest guy in the room. They’re the same ones who are now saying someone with twice as much political experience as Governor Shrub is unqualified to lead. Know something we don’t?

“Been Governor of any State, especially one with the largest land mass in the Union, is more than enough to qualify anyone to be a VICE-PRESIDENT”
Yep, governing all those millions of acres of EMPTY LAND sure qualifies you to lead the USA! Palin had more reindeer to govern than actual human beings. Maybe she should apply to the National Parks Service? Although she’s probably not qualified for that job, either.
