Why has there never been an Italian-American President?

We will end this in 2016 but let us not forget the Italian-American trailblazer in 2012 that put a million cracks in that ethnic glass ceiling. Thank you again, Rick!

But people like Lief are just a perfect example of the hatred and persecution with which we deal every day. It's a sad but very real reality.

For God's sake, Van Buren... Van Buren!!! how in the flying hell can someone think he was French?!?

People are dumbs, you see.

Antonio, despite your treasonous ways, you have every right to feel some anger when you see Lief's hateful comments but don't take it too seriously. He, like many, many others, is incredibly jealous of our ancestral homeland and heritage. Could you blame him?

I am very fond of the English. I enjoyed my trip there a year ago. However, I can't help to notice their poorly veiled condescending tone and condemning attitude whenever they write about Italians on any topic at all. But then it hits me and a smirk creeps across my face. I think, "Look at where they are forced to live. Look at what they have to eat. I'd be extrenely bitter towards and jealous of Italians if I was one of them and forced to compare the two worlds, too!" You have to feel very, very sorry for these people, Antonio. You're still young. One day, you'll learn.

Because most Italian politicians have mob connections and/or are terribly corrupt.

Evidence?

Fully recognizing that this isn't a serious post, I'll respond anyway for anyone that might be wondering: the only politician I remember from the series was a Jewish Assemblyman named "Zellman." Never struck me as ethnically Italian.

Lief is Persian and German.

My first non-troll post of the thread: I think Iran's culture, food and environment compares very favorably to Italy's. No reason to be jealous.

Ok, maybe not trolling. Just stupid.
