1. By poor, I assumed we were discussing the upbringing--Bill Clinton as opposed to the Bushes--and all that comes with being born and raised in upper-class society. Since we have had a President from humble beginnings in very recent history, a "relatively poor" president is more likely.
2. Non-Christian--but only Jewish. No Eastern religions or atheism.
3. Woman--but probably white, from an upper-class background. Think Senator Clinton.
4. Ethnic minority--but probably from an upper-class background, and probably conservative in political viewpoints. Military background is a plus.
5. Homosexual.Too many damned homophobes.
As much as I would like to think that our country is accepting of any and all diversity, I don't think we're going to have a Buddhist
Vietnamese Lesbian President in our lifetimes--even if she is loaded. The feasibility of a President who is outside of our norm--upper-class, white, Christian heterosexual male--will only be so when he/she conforms to most of that norm.
