| If there is anything approaching an iron law of American politics, it´s this: The next president will be a member of the same race as the current one. It´s a rule that has held through 42 of 43 transfers of power. And there´s every reason to think it will hold through the next one. The next president will, in all likelihood, be African-American, most likely one of the two African Americans who would make anybody´s list of the top 10 contenders for the Democratic nomination. This is, obviously, the sort of statistical

The news is littered with red herrings. Only one thing counts: Is the majority of the people benefiting from government largess or is the majority paying the bills. Right now and for the next few years at least, the majority are benefiting. As long as they all go out and vote, they win every time. It´s a war between people wanting instant gratification and people who want to delay gratification.

The article is well stated and its premise very much a distinct possibility. Black voters now exercise great influence in the nominating process for the Democrats. If the Republicans continue to nominate candidates like we have in the past two elections then the Democrats have a chance to win in 2016 with a black candidate. Only if the black voters decide to give a white Democrat a shot at the nomination will someone like Hillary Clinton be nominated. The problem for the Democrats is that they have now painted themselves in a corner in regards to their most important voters. Nominate who we want or split your base and lose to a Republican.

There is history to dispute this claim. The same thing happened to the Southern Democrat party. The black vote nominated black candidates and drove whites way. Oh, but that is the racist south people say. No, it was actually the far left agenda of black candidates. And that far left agenda is what eventually killed the Dems in the South. And where non whites were conservative, they were elected (black, non native Indian and others). This will happen elsewhere as more people begin to feel the destructive forces of Dem rule.

Article has photo of next black president but does not mention her name; Moochelle Obama.
The Mooch will run if Barry´s executive order permitting him to run for a 3rd term is overturned by the Supreme Court. Barry will argue, with the help of Georgetown University´s law school and the NY Times, that the 22nd Amendment as well as Constitution isn´t applicable to him because it was written by old white men.
The Mooch will begin to discuss how it is so important to women, minorities and the less privileged to keep moving forward with Barry´s policies. "This is not the time to abandon what Barack Obama started, but to keep his wonderful vision in place for all Americans."

Since no proof of US citizenship is not required, how about Robert Mugabee?
A president exprienced in destroying the economy of his country (even moreso than Obama), by being a leader in a movement against the white minority producers.
Obama could only hope to realize the level of redistribution that has taken place in Zimbabwe under Mugabee´s leadership.

For my efforts he put me on the DNC mailing list. Don´t think it will be Hillary; after another 4 years she´ll look like a Vampire at sunrise. Of course, back in 2007 I laughed at the idea of a freshman senator from Illinois running for POTUS who´s only accomplishment is he´s half black. And look what happened.

Chances are that from now on the Democrats will always have a liberal to socialist black politician on their ticket. You must always remember that the Democrats cannot win without a very substantial black vote in the general election.
If the Democrats were to put down a black candidate in favor of a white liberal in their primaries, there is a good chance that enough black voters would feel slighted enough to stay home on general election day causing the Democrats to loose the election. Goes to show how a small minority of voters, most of them takers and certainly not makers, can end up running the country in the future, as long as they stick together in a one party voting bloc.

#17 is right on the money. I live in the deep South and the Democrats have disappeared as a statewide party. This is the corner the national Democrats are putting themselves into. Their black candidates will be so far left that they can be defeated if the Republicans cure their dysfunction in national elections.

Never forget that Bill Clinton adamantly laid claim to being America´s first black President in 1994. Or that Barack Obama is at least as white as he is black. It´s all bullsh--, promulgated by the kneepad media who serve The Won.

If America were a bus, Deneen Borelli would be the new Rosa Parks. Borelli is the very model of a human being, an African American and a woman who is just plain tired up to here at all of the back of the bus treatment dished by liberals — black and white alike — to conservatives who happen to be black. Ms. Borelli has in a figurative sense, as Rosa Parks did in the original and literal sense, sat down in a seat reserved for liberals at the front of the American bus.

The impending policies of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect individual farmers and their employees. There are an estimated 600,000 crop workers and roughly 20,000 livestock workers in California at a given time. For every job in farming, the industry creates two to three nonfarming jobs. It´s an industry that should thrive in California, where the climate is kind.(Snip)"There´s nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," Tom Nassif said to us; he´s president and CEO of Western Growers, an advocacy group representing area and regional family farmers in Arizona and California.

A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is “gay marriage.” The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of “genderless” marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its “inevitability” is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it. According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done.

It was bad enough for the Obama administration to earn an overall grade of C-minus on its level of transparency from the independent watchdog group Cause of Action. When coupled with evidence of what is being hidden, the information makes the administration look even worse. Cause of Action uses requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), lawsuits, and other tools to expose what it calls “job-killing federal government regulations, waste, fraud, and cronyism.” As has been reported by Caroline May at the Daily Caller and others, the organization last week issued a report called “Grading the Government,”

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House.

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything. The White House also granted 1,472 waivers to certain companies and unions exempting them from insurance reforms

This may sound odd coming from someone who has spent his life working in political reporting, but I find it extremely sad when people can’t separate politics from the rest of their lives. I’m not talking about people getting worked up about politicians; we live in divided times, so things are bound to get heated when talking about elected officials. I’m talking about people who say “I want nothing to do with [Person X] because he is a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat in his personal life.” This is why I find the Orson Scott Card thing so frustrating.

Last week, President Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.” It was par for the course (after all, he is almost always golfing) for the nation’s chief executive who just last year did not know the amount of our nation’s debt and made the preposterously naive statement that “a lot of it we owe to ourselves.” Apparently, our coming debt crisis is the only one Democrats do want to go to waste.

If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said to have a coherent theme, it involves his desire to use government to create a level playing field in which no single segment of the electorate enjoys unfair advantages or suffers disproportionate disadvantages in the pursuit of happiness. He is particularly concerned, he tells us, that the “rich” pay their fair share while poor and minority Americans receive their just due. Somehow, though, every policy decision made by his administration seems to tilt the playing field against the latter.

Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I´d think celebrities would love fracking. I´d be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don´t feel the love. Yoko sang, "Don´t frack me!" on TV. Stopping fracking is the latest cause of the silly people. They succeeded in getting scientifically ignorant politicians to ban fracking in New York, Maryland and Vermont. Hollywood gave an Oscar to "Gasland," a documentary that suggests fracking

Staffers for Sen. Dean Heller have been bullying other senators’ aides to protect the Nevada Republican’s space in the Russell Senate Office Building, CQ Roll Call has learned. As part of the biennial Senate office lottery, junior members are obligated to show their office suites to more senior members, who then have 24 hours to decide whether to claim that space as their own. Heller’s office suite — which he inherited after the scandal-fueled resignation of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. — may be particularly attractive to other senators because its floor plan includes a larger-than-average member office.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
