Battle Royale: Obama vs. Clinton

As some of you have noticed, I'm very interested in the upcoming US elections and especially the primaries. And lately I thought about what's more significant: USA having the first (white) female president or first afro-american president (actually he's half white, but that's another topic to discuss). However, I think America would write history if Barack Obama became the next president. I thought there was many female presidents before, the most famous were british Margaret Thatcher, israeli Golda Meir and current german chancellor Angela Merkel. But when did we have someone from a minority elected president in the West? For example an Arab french president? A Turk german chancellor? A black or latino US president? Well, it's not as easy to pop out a name like Thatcher, Meir or Merkel on the female side. I think racism and sexism in the West is still a tough issue, but my personal opinion is, that racism is a bigger problem. If anyone disagree, feel free to debate.
The second thing that's bothering me is the way Hillary Clinton runs her campain. She used to underestimate Obama, when he overtook her, she started backstabbing him, mocking his message, attacking his leadership credibility, lying about her Bosnia trip and being a second 'republican', helping McCain to attack Obama twice. This could backfire, because she's ripping apart the democratic party and it's really a shame, as Obama said. So, hopefully, Obama will survive these double-attacks and become the next president of USA.

Obama 08!
