Will the US have another black president? [View all]

I'm hearing some of my co workers saying that GWB was the last white president that the country will ever see again. They believe that Clinton, O Malley, and Sanders are wasting time running for president and that Deval Patrick, Cory Booker, and Kasim Reed will be the Democratic nominee in July, and likely win the presidency. Do you think so, or are they delusional? Regardless of what they say, will we have another African American president?
