The Man , a prophecy which came true

Irwing Wallace wrote the engrossing novel "The Man" on 1963. Its the story of the most unexpected man on earth becoming the most powerful man on earth. It is the story of Douglas Dillman, a black and the Senate President (pro tempore - which means temporary) and 4 th in line for the presidency becoming the president of the united states of america because all the previous 3 are incapacitated and the actual senate president post is vacant and is filled by this senator for the time being.

The novel then covers how america is coming to terms to the idea of a black president and his trials and tribulations.

Irwing wallace did not dream about a black president not even in his wildest dreams. Thats why he wrote this fiction to try to imagine how this impossible event would play out when nobody dared to think about that.

After 45 years, one movie and teleserial....
It became true. It took the americans two wars, an imminent collapse of the wall street - the symbol of the market capitalism, 8 years of stupidity, a divided world to shed the notion of color and select the "Messaih of Hope",Barack Hussaien Obama as the 44 th president of the United States and the prophecy came true.

I hope that Mr.President does not have to suffer the same as Douglas Dillman. Lets see what he can do...
