Warren G Harding Was The First Black President?

So it would appear that having a black President wouldn’t be all that bad because there already was one because Warren G Harding’s father was of mixed race. Um, I think this is a pretty good bit of spin because the Americans are going to think “Oh, having a black president before was OK so perhaps having a black president now will be OK too.”

Or will they really think that? Personally I think the whole argument about race is just silly. What does it really matter if a President is black or not? I beleive that you should judge people on their actions rather than their color or background. I wouldn’t like people to judge me based on where I’m from or what I look like. I’m sure that there is a bit of mixed race in all of us. There have been some cases where a white couple have given birth to a black child simply because there has been a black gene lying dormant for a number of generations and for whatever reason that gene pops back up.

I’ve got some Maltese blood in me. Now, Malta was a very busy cross roads for Europe and Africa and so perhaps I have some African blood in me that I don’t know about. Does that make me any less of a person? Please judge Barack Obama on what he says and what he has done. This is a much better way to choose a President rather than base your decision on looks alone.
