    So when do we forsee the first Dalek president being elected?

    Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

    Not with all those stairs leading up to the White House.

      Is Obama really 100% black? He looks to have a big chunk of Caucasian in him to me. So, perhaps the 'Black and White House'? 'Zebra House'? How about, and to go with the 'House of Representatives', the 'House of Miscegnacists'? Anyway, good luck to the chap and all that. I hope he finally worked out just what he is going to change.

      Spectroscopically no, he is not 100% black. Not even CERN blackhole is 100% black! :) :laugh: ;)

        We could call it the "Hawking Radiation House" but that would mean it got smaller and smaller with time and eventually disappeared.

          Have you ever seen any evidence that suggests that he's able to type accurately?

              Huh? They are able to fly. Stairs will hardly stop a Dalek-president to take over the Oval Office.

                  From the tone of the comments this morning, it matters a great deal - to the Europeans. They, apparently, are the ones who can't get beyond his color.

                    Kenyan goat herder I heard somewhere. So, not quite such a victory for the blacks then since he is a half cast.

                      Miscegenation comes from the Latin miscere, "to mix" and genus, "kind". Apparently no-one has told Fat-Boy that we all belong to the same genus.

                          You think I care what colour his skin is? I care more that he hasnt got a single policy other than 'change', without ever telling us what 'change' is. Of course, 'change' actually means 'racial change of president' and thats the point. Colour is very important to him, and many of his voters and detractors. If he wasnt black, or half black as it now transpires, he wouldnt have been elected.

                                      I'll take that as an admission that you haven't been to his website. I have. I disagree profoundly with some of the changes he proposes to make, but then again, I'm also aware that most Presidents think they're going to make more changes than they actually do.

                                      I was hoping some one might.

                                      Why should anyone else try to give you the benefit of their work? Are you will to pay me my going rate to write up everything you should know by now? If you are trying to understand what Obama will mean to the US and incidently to the rest of the world, start doing some research rather than hoping to piggyback on pther people.

                                        I'll take that as an admission that you haven't been to his website. I have. I disagree profoundly with some of the changes he proposes to make, but then again, I'm also aware that most Presidents think they're going to make more changes than they actually do.

                                        Even the usual media hasnt been at all forthcoming about his manifesto. I guess he stands for the usual crap, supporting whatever a company who funded his election wants, that kind of thing.

                                          that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
