What will we see next....
President Obama will take office in 2009 - what will be the next benchmarks and in what order?
A single person (Van Buren was single when he was elected, but I'm pretty sure he married in office)
A person with no children (I have no idea if this has happened before, but I'm betting it hasn't in the last century)
A woman
An openly gay man
An openly gay woman
An Asian
A Jew
A Muslim
An Atheiest
A person who was not born an American (I know that it involves changing The Constitution)
Any combination of the above (extra points for the Muslim Jew)
I'm thinking it'll be in this order:
Woman (within 12 years)
No Children (within 20 years)
Non-American (within 20 years)(just watch "Demolition Man" if you don't believe me)
Gay person of either persuasion (within 50 years)
Jew (within 50 years)
Asian (within 50 years)
Atheiest (within 75 years)
Muslim (within 75 years)
What's your guess?
