Let's face it. We could have had a really great white male but...he had that MALE weakness of not being able to keep it in his pants so he blew the whole thing. Two greats...Kennedy and Clinton, even Jefferson and more before them. There are a lot less women in congress but how many of them have had affairs/scandal?

White males can be good leaders but that isn't enough...they also need focus.
