Okay, here’s the official list. With Barack Obama taking office, we can finally cross off ‘Black’ from the list of types of people who have sat on the U.S. throne.

Down so far…

  • Whitey
  • Catholic
  • crippleCripple (that’s what they called it back then)
  • Redneck
  • Actor
  • Mentally Challenged
  • Black

A huge proponent of diversity in the high office, I dream that I will be able to cross everyone off this list in my lifetime, in THIS order:

  • Native Americanjedi
  • Jew (to think Joseph Lieberman came SOOO close)
  • Asian
  • Hindu
  • Jedi
  • Gay (Actually, there’s a theory that Lincoln was a homosexual but unless there’s a photo of him making out with Hannibal Hamlin, this seat remains vacant)
  • Buddhistwoman
  • Hobbit
  • Muslim (Obama could’ve killed two birds with one stone here but just HAD to pick Christ over Muhammad)
  • Hispanic
  • Woman (ok, long shot, I know)
