One day, US may have a Hindu president: Obama
WASHINGTON: Reflecting on his election as the first black president, Barack Obama has said if the US continues to be inclusive and diverse, it could someday send a woman, a Hindu, a Jew or a Latino to the White House.
The outgoing president also made clear he was not going away entirely as he planned to speak out if and when he saw “our core values” in danger, serving up a thinly veiled warning to President-elect Donald Trump and his team. Taking questions at his last news conference on Wednesday Obama, 55, said if the US remained inclusive, giving equal opportunity to everyone, “we’re going to have a woman president, we’re going to have a Latino president, and we’ll have a Jewish president, a Hindu president”. “Who knows who we’re going to have?” he wrapped up the argument with the usual Obama flourish tailored to get a laugh.
