        Ya know, @WSJ, the US probably would've benefitted from selecting a president based on merits, too.

        Worthless opinion article from ask. More fear mongering talking about stuff that's not really a factor who votes based on skin color?

        If nothing else, easy availability of various media and digitized social engagement sites seem to be elevating awareness levels so folks may make better choices based on fit and form for a political office and potential community benefit.
