Why Read "Book:
Are We Ready for a Female or African-American President?: Over
40 Executive Yes, Maybe and No Viewpoints!"
Extract from the Foreword by Michael Fitzgerald Iowa State Treasurer
In their book "Are We Ready for a Female or African-American President", Mitchell Levy and Jitendra Mudhol offer viewpoints from many different people on the subject that is now much closer to becoming a reality than a mere supposition. In my opinion, the country wants to feel good about their decision to move America forward on the path to change by electing a minority candidate. The options available to the democratic party in 2008 represent credible alternatives to the status quo. America has always prided herself on representing the people through representative government and I believe the people of the United States are not only ready for a female or African American president, but eager for one. Read this book to hear the opinion of a number of successful business people who've expressed their view on what's going to happen in the months to come.
"The U.S. is ready emotionally ready for both a Female or African-American President, especially if they are tough on global terrorism."
Sheridan Tatsuno, Principal, Dreamscape Global
"Yes, the U.S. is ready for an African-American or female President. Since the President represents the people, a female President would certainly match the gender distribution in the US. As for an African-American, the candidate must resonate so much with the popular will that the color of the skin will play no significant role."
Jean Paul Jacob, IBM Research Emeritus and Visiting Scholar at U.C. Berkeley
"I think America could accept a female President, they have seen Mrs. Thatcher here and admire her, as well as Hollywood conditioning the public for a female president. However I think a black President might be a step too far this time around."
Lee Slaughter, Director, LWS Communications LimitedI think it more likely that the country is ready for a female president then an African-American President.”
Mark Rabkin, CEO, Closet Factory of Silicon Valley

Book: Are we Ready for a Female and/or African American President? Is the US ready for a female or African American President? The primary election of 2008 presents the country with the unique opportunity to elect either a female or an African American to the highest office in the land. The notion of a major party having two of their leading candidates being female or African American really leaves open the possibility. Is the country ready? This book collects the thoughts of many of today’s thought leaders when they answer that question. The responses are thought provoking. This question is no longer a philosophical one.

Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do!"
"It is real, it is here, and there is not a lot we can do about it other than trying to save energy, make more efficient use of it, and try to convince India and China to cap their energy consumption. Build more nuclear reactors, but that is politically not opportune."
Axel Kloth, CTO, Parimics"Global warming is real and with the expansion of industry in China and the rest of Asia we will really push the healthy limits of the world in the next five years."
Dennis, Former CEO, Okidata Corporation"This is a real danger – there is no body of hard scientific fact to contradict the concerns coming from the climate scientists. Can we afford to ignore and risk the planet for future generations?"
Rohit Talwar, CEO, Fast Future
