Just a Thought

In 1960 we had our first Roman Catholic President, John F. Kennedy. Interestingly we have not had another one yet.

In 2008 we have our first African-American President.

So far we have not yet had

• a Jewish President,
• a woman President,
• a Muslim President, or
• an openly agnostic or atheist President.

Nor have we had one who

• opposes the death penalty
• is a pacifist leaning president (perhaps an impossibility)
• is openly Gay or Lesbian.

The leftover radical still hopes for the continuation of growth and change.
