Jimmy Carter believes U.S. is ready for a gay president

Former President Jimmy Carter believes the U.S. is ready to elect a gay president 'in the near future.'
'I think the entire population has come tremendous strides forward in dealing with the issue of gays,' Carter said in an interview with the website Big Think.
'I don't know about the next election, but I think in the near future, because step by step we have realized that this issue of homosexuality has the same adverse and progressive elements as when we dealt with the race issue.'
Carter served one term as commander-in-chief and then lost his bid for re-election to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
He went on, 'I would say that the country is getting acclimated to a president who might be female, who might, obviously, now, be black, and who might be as well a gay person.'
President Obama is the first black president.
Former Bill Clinton adviser and interviewer James Carville then wondered, 'How do we know we haven't had one?'
America has had one bachelor president, James Buchanan, from 1857-61.

James Buchanan was the first gay US President. What Carter is referring to is the first openly gay US Pres. Personally I think it's a bit of a stretch.

[rickschoppers]

Jimmy Carter is gay, so why wouldn't he say something like that?

[sabang]

Mitch McConnell is a gay icon.

[Butterfly]

I also think it is too far stretch,

World would be a better place if people stopped worrying about what politicians were doing with their dicks and started worrying about what they were doing with politics. Who cares if politicians are fucking men or women when in reality they're fucking all of us? Amazing that after millions of years of evolution people are still entirely obsessed with genitalia and the uses to which they're put

Nixon predicted a female president.

Looks like the next president will be a heterosexual white male.

Probably named Bush, because that is what Conservative America is familiar with.

Mitt Romney or Sarah Pallen, take your choice...........

^Jesus, is that a sad fucking commentary on the state of America.

[rickschoppers]

The sad commentary is that is doesn't really matter who the next president is, woman, man, strait, homosexual, caucasian or ethnic minority, the overall system will not change one iota. They will each have their promoses during the campaign and then break most, if not all, when they are in office. Nothing will change and if it is a democrat, they will want to give everything away to the poor and if it is a republican, they will fight for the rich to keep most of their money.
That is the true sad commentary of the United States of America.

Very pleased I left many years ago.

Jimmy Carter believes U.S. is ready for a gay president

One may well be elected but doesn't mean the "US" ready for a gay prez. Clear the "US" is not ready for a black prez given some of the crap heard from his detractors.

[SEA Traveler]

........ and this coming from the 1st worst prez after obama.

[Carnwadrick]

Clear the "US" is not ready for a black prez given some of the crap heard from his detractors.

I used to argue that he is only 1/2 black but after the mess he has given us I am more than happy to agree he is the 1st black prez

Financial deregulation and a bloated defense industry ruined America.

Why do baby boomers keep on fighting the culture wars of their youth? Aside from the war on drugs, you lost. Nobody under 30 gives a shit about queers. The culture war is over. Get over it.
