pre·clude (pr-kld)
tr.v. pre·clud·ed, pre·clud·ing, pre·cludes
1. To make impossible, as by action taken in advance; prevent. See Synonyms at prevent.
2. To exclude or prevent (someone) from a given condition or activity:

I doubt very much that "preclude" is the word they want to use(unless they are Obamabots) in this context, lead would be a better word.
