re: I hate what the office of the presidency has become (not an Obama hate thread)

It's why things like "first woman president", or "first black president" are important to people.

Could be a potentially dangerous trend. The office of the presidency was never set up to be held by a figure whose very holding of the office is considered unprecedented. The office of the presidency was set up to be held by a competent leader who adheres to the guidelines of Article II of the constitution.
