Presidential Firsts

Black? I thought he was mixed.

I got 64%: better than I expected to do!

MAx, I think when people here say "president", they are only refering to the US. As for your comment:

We can look to their experience to see what we can expect of an Obama presidency.

There have been plenty of white presidents, and GWB turned out to be the worst one. Just because there were some good ones doesn't mean they will all turn out the same way. I am probibly just misreading your sentence.

I made it a point to say "first black US president."

How strange... the second I wrote "Race" my (very balanced) comment went up in smoke, and I´m presented with a "... troll be gone" ?

At the rate his corruption scandals are brewing up, Obama may become the first President to be impeached before taking office!

Also, I too scored 45%, meaning that it´s all guesswork at that level - I haven´t a clue about american presidents ;)

Well, stupidity is multiracial... and I can see that rather than censorship, it was I who deleted what ever it was I wrote before, and now I can blame only the Thinkpad keyboard that sometimes really pisses me off ;)

Anyways, to expect from an Obama-presidency the same as what "African" presidents so far has achieved is as relevant as declaring every european, asian... what-not, idiots because of what a famous autrian did, for what his soviet counterpart did, for what Mao or Pol-pot managed to do, and lets not forget about those crazy south-americans !
That said, if aussies weren´t so stupid, they too would cause mayhem !

(Any spelling mistakes because english is not my first language)

Yeah, he's actually the first bi-racial president of America. We still haven't had the first African-American president.

I got a 67%. On the one hand, this is better than average. On the other hand, I am a History teacher, so I should have nailed this!!!

45% - but I'm Canadian and have no clue about American Presidents. Not bad for guessing most of them.
