I am not sold on the fact that skin color or gender are driving factors on who the next president should be. We need someone in the highest office in the land to be able to do the job efficiently. We need someone that is a statesman/woman who understands foreign policies. We need someone that is intelligent and can think outside of the box. We need someone who is NOT a felon. There are so many different characteristics we should be looking for that has nothing to do with the color of their skin or their gender.
