I'm part of the American public and I don't think it should be based on race or gender.
I'd much rather have someone who wasn't a cokehead back in the day and lying to the public left and right, can't put a sentence together, with a vice pres who shoots people in the face. Nawmean?
"I try to go for longer runs, but it's tough around here at the White House on the outdoor track. It's sad that I can't run longer. It's one of the saddest things about the presidency." — President George W. Bush, interview with "Runners World," Aug. 2002
"Do you have blacks, too?" —Pres. George W. Bush to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001
