55. Then explain it to the "folks"

What that we have been told indicates anyone's opinion on the desirability of black Presidents? I can pretty much guarantee for example that all the remaining Presidents in my lifetime will be nominal Christians. I don't think that makes them undesirable as Presidents, unless of course they pursue theocracy (I would find a black President who espoused black supremacy undesirable too, just like a white one espousing white supremacy). I'm not against Christian Presidents. Heck every single President I revere in any way has been ostensibly at any rate a committed believer. I'm predicting more of the same, not expressing bigotry against or loathing of more of the same. I'm also predicting that Obama wants other Christians to follow him in office

What are the third party folks described doing differently? With the evidence presented that is not kneejerk guesses about their unstated opinions?
