One of my jokes this election season goes:

Many people, including rapper 50 Cent, have been cynically saying that if Barack Obama becomes president, he’ll probably be killed. Given that most black victims suffer from black-on-black crime, and given that Bill and Hillary Clinton were our first black president, I think Obama knows whom he should watch out for. (Or would that be racially profiling the Clintons?)

Sure enough, Hillary Clinton on Friday defended her staying in the race, baffled by everyone’s urgency for her to quit and “arguing that history showed that some past nominating contests had gone on into June”:

My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary, somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California…

It sounds like the Clintons indeed may have a June surprise in store for Obama and us. It’s like I always say: You think the Secret Service follows the Clintons around for their safety?

On Thursday, another Julia joke became reality. It goes like this: “If Hillary gets into the White House, then the third black president is going to be Chelsea Clinton.” In addition, I ended this video of me as Bill Clinton with the following line:

We still have a long way to go before we see our first black-looking president in the Oval Office. Or eight years, anyway. And when that time does come, whoever the candidate may be, he can count on me and Hillary to be in his corner. Unless, of course, Chelsea is 35 by then.

Sure enough, here was Bill on Thursday:

Former US president Bill Clinton does not rule out the possibility of a third member of his family running for president one day.

Asked in an interview with People magazine, to appear today, whether his 28-year-old daughter Chelsea Clinton would ever consider running for office, the ex-president said: “I don’t know.

“If you asked me this before (January’s Democratic nominating contest in) Iowa, I would have said: ‘No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.’ But she is really good at it.”
