sambaman'slilgirl: Me either. I don't understand why it would necessarily affect his (or anyone's)ability to hold office effectively. Everyone, whether they are a male hetero WASP, or what you described, is going to have some predjudices and individual POVs, if they are alive and breathing. Simply because people are all individuals with different experiences and backgrounds. Also great point about the checks and balances being very a pertinent factor, that someone else mentioned. Wow, great point. The fact someone runs for office and promises to represent their constituents and is or is not fairly honest about what they represent (their views), IMO is just something votersa have to judge for themselves, and take on faith when they go to the voting booth. Apparently, some people are cynical enough to believe, that simply because there have been a few disappointments, at various times in history, as far as politicians not delivering what they promised, that means it is always destined to happen, or that they think they deserve a perfect world. Hello. People aren't perfect, and neither is the world. Looks like to me one can either become a cynical do-nothing, or keep one's chin up, and hope for a good future and work to make one anyway, in response. I know which option sound more productive to me. - Susan
