Rakhi Sawant ftw
The talk in the sci-fi community has already turned to “Well, how will we know it’s the future/an alternate reality now?” Apparently, black President is now a reality and woman President was too close to a reality to serve the purpose any more. There’s already votes for Asian and Muslim President, so let me narrow it down and say – Indian American President.
For the grizzled, older President, we have Amitabh Bachchan.
For the brash, reckless President, we have Sanjay Dutt.
And for the woman President, we have Mallika Sherawat – twice voted both India’s hottest actress and India’s funniest actress.
Okay, so I really just wanted an excuse to post a picture of Mallika Sherawat. I almost picked Rakhi Sawant, but at the last minute I realized that would be almost Sarah Palin-esque, and the whole point is suspension of disbelief.
Of course, extremely progressive sci-fi will skip the Indian American and instead turn to the American Indian.
Female President: Storyteller Gayle Ross (whose “Inside the Beaded Beltway” is one of the best non-fiction storytelling shows I’ve ever seen)
Male President: Wes Studi.
And finally, Obama-esque American Indian President, Rudy Youngblood.

Maybe in their new future/alternate universes, the government can be controlled by rich white guys.

I agree that a woman president, not much different than the Legislative Assembly in Iceland is now composed largely of, will begin us on a trek of restoring all which has pushed us down. There’s also merit in Ms. Gayle Ross in such a role. She’s articulate, a humanitarian in spite of her people’s oppression, very hard working and the end line of a legacy of very fine leaders. She’s also very much a woman, tall and lovely and seductive as she weaves her tales unadulterated by the constrictions of Western Moral Culture. Her Beaded Beltway narrative includes erotic situations and personal experiences, long the envy of myself towards her husband back at her home. I’d love to spend a night or two with her.
