Our first black President

Not so fast all you Obamamaniacs. Perhaps you are not aware that many historians believe that this honor was already won by our 29th President, Warren G. Harding. According to a recent New York Times article, President Harding may well have had an African-American great-grandmother.
While probably best know for the Teapot Dome scandal, I've always admired him for having several high school pals either in his cabinet or as close advisers. One of them rented a house near the White House where they regularly played poker, drank, and may possibly have entertained some ladies.
The evidence is inconclusive, but as a proud graduate of Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio, I hope it is true. Ohio gave flight and light to the world, but the last couple of decades have been tough for the Buckeye state. This is an honor that can bring the spotlight home again.
