The only real problem I see with Obama being the white house is that with being black, having a middle eastern sounding name, and the current troubles we have coming out of there, it's all to likely that someone will try to assassinate him. I know it sounds terrible, but it is a real possibility. We'd have a similar problem if it was Clinton just because she's female. Unfortunately, while the individual is smart, people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and we don't like going outside the box.
