  1. bigbro says: An interesting bit of historical trivia linked to Barack Obama’s supposed familial connection to Vice President Cheney.
    Far as I know, the closest a minority has come to the presidency is Vice President Charles Curtis, to whit:
    Curtis was Herbert Hoover’s vice president. He had Native American blood. Vice President Curtis….”was the son of Orren Curtis, a white man, and Ellen Pappan, who was one-quarter Kaw Indian, Charles Curtis on his mother’s side was the great-great grandson of White Plume, a Kansa-Kaw chief who had offered assistance to the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804……Reflecting his mother’s heritage, Charles Curtis spoke French and Kansa before he learned English.”
    That’s the closest I know of a minority being to the Oval Office…unless one of Thomas Jefferson’s secret children was in the White House.

  2. Fred Thompson doesn’t look he has exercised for several decades. He couldn’t push a Democrat without severly injuring himself. Pelosi could probably kick Thompson’s ass if she wanted to. It’s irrelevant anyway because Frankenberry isn’t even going to get the nomination and even if he did he couldn’t win. Hillary would crush him.
